Curious to see how this performs against fusion 360. Autocorrect has gotten real aggressive on pricing and licenses of late.
Also fusion forces you to save to autocad’s cloud and they inspect your designs for hints you’re using it for non hobby stuff.
- franzb 8y ago> Autocorrect has gotten real aggressive This sentence is meta on many levels! (He probably meant "Autodesk" but autocorrect kicked in rather aggressively, as he anticipated).
- bredren 8y agoHaha. Yes. Autodesk has a new office in Portland and I attended the Fusion 360 community meetup a few weeks back. At that meeting they debuted their new pricing plans and demoed some pretty fancy functionality called generative design that was def not useful to the largely hobbiest attendees in the crowd. It definitely feels like there is a niche of sub-fusion use case where you are doing simple commercial product design but not at a rate worth a $300 license from autocorrect
- avhon1 8y agoAnother simple libre CAD program is SolveSpace. It works more like Autodesk Inventor - you draw 2D sketches, pull them into 3D in different ways, repeat, and add constraints to features along the way. Very good for the dimensionally-accurate stuff people model in Fusion360. (Nearly useless, I might add, for organic stuff like the mosquito in the Dust video.) http://solvespace.com/index.pl http://solvespace.com/index.pl
