Tried that new parametric modeling plugin for a simple bracket, and it completely bricked my file.
Lost three hours of work because the constraints went haywire and corrupted the whole assembly. Anyone know a more stable method for adaptive parts in 2D?

Ugh, been there. Did you have auto-save turned on? I always set mine to save every five minutes after losing a whole project once. For 2D adaptive parts, I skip the fancy plugins and just use separate sketches with linked dimensions. It's a few more steps but never crashes. Save a copy before you try any new tool.

Oh man, hard agree on the linked dimensions thing! (Saved my sanity more times than I can count.) People get so hung up on fancy plugins when the basic method works fine. Auto-save is a lifesaver too, but I learned that the hard way after losing a 6-hour session once. Separate sketches and basic constraints never crash on me, even with complex parts. Honestly, sometimes the simple route is the smartest.
