You can, but do you really want too?
in many cases a label is sufficient

A little note for all participants.

OP posts count is still at "1"

So probably he came here and made the post, and don't care about answers, not a constructive way of doing things!

Regards to all.

I am new here, so please kindly correct me, if I get things wrong.
Introduction: I am a lecturer for embedded systems programming in Switzerland but have a background as a systems engineer. This means, I have quite some experience in SW and some limited background in mechanical engineering. For years I have tried to get my fingers dirty with free and open CAD, especially for LINUX, but have never found anything decent enough. FreeCAD, though, seems to be a worthy candidate. It is a great piece of SW or, perhaps, an agglomeration of great pieces of SW. So I want to give my feedback as a 'unbiased outsider' after a number of attempts over the years and a new attempt which I started some days ago.
Welcome. Thank you for your efforts. We get these types of post from time to time. And we try to catch the people that write them up to speed. In this case you were respectful, and that is not the average reaction. When you dig deeper you understand why certain things are the way they are. But there is good news:

FreeCAD as a community is going through an evolution now. Many of your points are relevant and are being addressed but in a different pace called 'FreeCAD-time'.

So really, the invitation is open for you to jump in, like the rest of us have, and get your hands dirty. 'Skin in the game' is how Free Libre Open Source Software evolves.
Alone you go faster. Together we go farther
