Got this email from Autodesk that Fusion is increasing their annual price by a huge amount. I subbed for 1 year a couple years ago for I think $380. Then I was able to get an educational sub after that. Fusion is still the cheapest CAD software out there, not including the free stuff like FreeCAD, but still, this price increase is massive.
It should be noted that it's still free to use for personal use minus the extra features.
I spent a lot of time in free cad and am now trying Bricscad. I wanted to use Alibre because it's way cheaper but it's windows only and I couldn't get it running in Proton or Wine.
I like freecad a whole lot, but I couldn't stand the number of crashes any longer :(
I couldn't find any other sane priced software that wasn't Cloud-integrated (looking at you, dassault).
Me too. While it's probably not as good as commercial packages, I've yet to encounter something I can't model. Once the topological naming problem is gone (should happen soon) it's gonna be a delight to use.
