David, looked through the whole Multirouter project album, and it truly impressive. ?
Thanks for sharing!

Wow - talk about throwing shade !! ? Such comments are truly demotivating when I think about potentially doing some videos to help others. ??
Fusion is still free for hobby users. ?It does have some restrictions dealing mostly multiple people working on the same design, but the full drawing capability is included in the free version. ?The mill tables and vises were my own creation, not imported. ?As for the prismatic views, those are all built in and one click-drag away from another other view of the same model. ?If you need other views, creating them is very straight forward once you know the tools. ?The attached view of Mike¡¯s cart was produced in under 5 minutes including the creation of the call-out bubbles and part lists. ?
Brian, you and I differ on paying for good software and quality support. ? I subscribe to the full Fusion 360 offering and purchased a 3 year license for $900 when it went on sale 14 months ago. ?Now that I have used the product extensively, I don¡¯t feel that I need to have the full version for my application and may revert to the free version when my subscription expires. ?If nothing else, that $900 got me a direct pipe into the Autodesk support world when I had issues, found unexpected behavior that might be a bug or just lack of understanding on my part. ?But there¡¯s a philosophical difference here that I find personally troubling. ?Granted, $900 for 3 years is a lot of change, and not everyone can afford that. ?I probably won¡¯t be willing to pay that next time. ?But I believe in paying for things of value and supporting the creator community - whether that¡¯s music, software, documentation, videos tutorials, or Star Wars salt & pepper shakers on Etsy. ?The people who create this stuff deserve to be financially rewarded, just like a server at a restaurant offering good service. ?

Well, I¡¯ll agree to disagree. Those drawings are all prismatic parts, rectangular blocks and imported vises and mill tables. It looks good but not especially challenging drawing items. I will admit that the last time I used Fusion was at least 3-4 years ago, although I know my son uses it daily for his machining, although again, more for the integrated CAD than the spiffy drawing capabilities. So, I¡¯m sure it has improved, especially when it went from free to $500 a year or so.
To each his own¡.
¡. Fusion is shit for the drawing (CAD) side of things.
Totally disagree. ?I think your impressions here are out of date. ?Have a look at the drawings I produced at this link: ?
Now, I¡¯m not saying there aren¡¯t other non-mainstream CAD packages that might do a better job, I haven¡¯t tried them all. ?But to call Fusion 360 drawing capabilities ¡°SHIT¡± is an uninformed and dated view IMO.
