Re: Fusion 360
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDon¡¯t let my comments deter you, have fun!?The drawing side of Fusion may be free for the hobby user, but they crippled the CAM side completely. Unless it has changed (which could be), you couldn¡¯t do a rapid move or a tool change with the hobby version. A lot of the ¡°Hobby¡± users were flippin¡¯ mad when that all came about, a year or so back. Good on you if you did your own vise models, but that¡¯s a two second download from Kurt, you really didn¡¯t need to spend that time doing it. As for paying for software, I run Alibre Professional, which is about a $1000 package, on sale at times so you can get it cheaper. So your comments about ?paying don¡¯t apply, so don¡¯t feel troubled. I would just personally prefer to own my software, not rent it. I also don¡¯t have to worry about any of my designs being stolen out of the cloud, not that anything I do is worth anything to anybody else, but for some of my machine work and customers, it¡¯s against the rules to store designs in cloud based software. That is why a lot of the big names are still out there, Solidworks, MasterCam, Catia and a whole host of others, still selling software that is not cloud based, it¡¯s just a whole lot more money than I need to spend on my design software. As Sang Lou mentions, Solidworks has developed their own cloud based offering to go after the hobby level users, as they have found it¡¯s a large market, but don¡¯t ever expect them to do away with their top line offering either.
