For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

[…] Let’s say that you have two lines in a 90 degree corner. If you add a line in the middle of any of the two lines, the cursor shows you that it will add a coincident constraint. But when you create your line, the coincident constraint isn’t applied. […]

What you're describing sounds more like a bug to me. At any rate, I wasn't able to confirm the behavior you described (maybe I'm misunderstanding you?):

^[1]^

I was able to get both a symmetric constraint (green arrow), and a coincident constraint (red arrow) on the two 90 degree lines.

I will reinstall FreeCAD (just formatted my PC) and try to reproduce the issue.

For me, it would show on the cursor that the coincident constraint was supposed to be applied, but it wouldn't do that.
