I'm on the about 2 builds a week development channel of it, and I believe it holds considerable promise. My problem is the docs all assume you are on a first name basis with a commercial cad program, which of course I am not, so the learning curve is fairly vertical for me. Teaching old dogs new tricks comes to mind. :-) Freecad is where Dan's Heeks & Faulks are now working, so I would assume that quite a bit of heekscnc will eventually be committed. Perhaps it even works now if the correct export format is chosen. But I've not tried it, so that just barely qualifies as a W.A.G.
