Free alternatives to SolidWorks with symmetrical constraints (or an alternative)

[Legolessed]

I have been trying to use onshape since it does have a free version however the lack of a way to force symmetry at all times has made design work really hard and In was wondering if there were any free alternatives. I dont have the money to spend a few thousand dollars on Cad software and dont love the idea of getting a subscription for something like fusion 360 since while I do do a lot of 3d modeling, Its mostly for fun.

 

I have blender as well which I am very familiar with and use for 3d animation but the lack of a sketch mod and precise dimensions makes it a little more difficult to use for more engineering and design tasks.

 

If anyone either knows of something to try or an addon for blender which adds the functionality let me know!

FreeCAD?

Fusion 360 is free for non.commercial use (students and hobbyists). FreeCAD is open-source option. SketchUp has free web version.
