These workbenches c FreeCAD is meant to manipulate CAD files which may contain metadata. It is your responsibility to verify the metadata contained in your files before you share them with others. These files may contain local directory paths which could reveal user names if the user name forms part of the path - as in “C:\MrsCAD\Documents\myFreeCADFile.FCstd”. +FreeCAD can also be used to create and run macros. These are Python scripts that can perform any action that the user can perform on a system.
