Switched to Onshape

I learned Fusion 360 about 5 years ago before they started charging for it, then switched to FreeCAD, and this week decided I would try to learn Onshape, even though I still have my slide rule. It was easy to make the switch and I like it so far.

I needed a project so I decided to do a VAF trailer hitch cover, why not? Not useable, but a fun project.

That took me down another rabbit hole of learning Inkscape to convert bitmap to vector image. The file formats go like this: png/jpeg > svg > dxf into onshape as a sketch.

Here are some examples, along with a print.
