What ????
Maybe you want to draw whilst driving ?

I'm currently running qty (2) 21" screens, have mouse under right hand, spacepilot under left, full keyboard in middle.

Was thinking about about adding foot pedals.....

Nope. However, I am away for two weeks (or more) at a time, and being able to draw/design ideas while out and about would be nice.

We had similar setups to yours 25 years ago, both for ACAD and ProE. Along with large format plotters/printers, so I’m quite knowledgeable on what sort of setups are common.

I’m just looking for something to dabble with while I’m away for some of the up coming projects.

Sure...but how could one even manipulate something on a screen so small ?

Same here, but Solidworks, Creo, and NX.

I drive the above set-up qty (8) hours a day for the past 30 years.

"Zoom" only goes so far.

While I believe you, double or triple large screens makes me think that wasn't available 30 years ago. But then again, I wasn't there.

What if we use more than 1? I use Fusion 360, but I also have Bend-Tech 7x with most all of the modules.

Just downloaded FreeCAD onto my laptop. It's been 4 years since I have modeled anything so the (re)learning curve starts today. It is not SolidWorks or Inventor but it should do the job I need it for.

I tried to change my vote and the software won't let me. Can the admins change my vote from "other" to FreeCAD?
