Not sure if I am supposed to write in this thread or open a new one, but since "snap info" refers to this thread I am going to assume the latter.
I tried to install FreeCAD from snap and found that...
- the tool library setting is not remembered, I have to set it a again after every restart.
- the tool shapes that used to be in /usr/share/freecad-daily/Mod/Path/Tools/Shape/*.fcstd do not seem to exist, so I am unable to set up new tools.
Any hint on how to resolve that?

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling
allows you to easily modify your design by going back into
your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is
open source (LGPL license) and completely modular, allowing
for very advanced extension and customization.
FreeCAD is multiplatfom, and reads and writes many open
file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL and others.
