The Fusion360 free-tier has been getting ever more restrictive over time. At the moment it is at:
> users who generate less than $1,000 USD in annual revenue and use for home-based, non-commercial projects only.
Which already makes it unsuitable for any Open Source work. While one might still accept those restrictions for quick one-off projects, those projects are also the ones that FreeCAD can handle fine.
- Mumps 2y agoand only 10 editable projects :/
- baby_souffle 2y agoEditable files! A project might have tens of files in it and you’ll find yourself having to toggle which ones are in the active set. It’s maddening!
- Mumps 2y agooh man! I didn't realize - that's so much worse! I'll reconsider the $24/yr Solidworks deal now...
- throw646577 2y agoI had no idea it was at this fine-grained a level.
- baby_souffle 2y agoYou’re permitted 10 files - total - that can be editable at any one time. For simple things you can have all your components in a single file and make do but I rather dislike working this way for a ton of reasons. I’m thinking about solid works when my fusion license expires. At least I’ll own my files and be able to manage them on my own ssd.
- throw646577 2y agoSolidworks for Makers is currently $25/yr I think (discount code). I'm a pretty happy FreeCAD guy, actually -- my issues are not FreeCAD but learning design -- but I will be trying it too.
