![]() ![]() I guess the reason I dread the learning curve so much is that it slows me down on some of the things I want to do (time in the shop). Right now, I have been able to get by through using Inkscape and CC, but for my purposes and for my intent for the purchase of the SO3 I will eventually want a 3D production software. I’ll probably take the plunge and get whatever free version of 360 that is offered as I do anticipate needing something that will allow 3D modeling and production. This forum is great and I always get some timely and worthwhile support. Thanks for all the comments and encouragement. Unless, of course, your nameplate will be engraved into a three dimensional Mobius strip (that is what is on my desk at work) Do be aware that a tool like Fusion and Inventor and SolidWorks are overkill for those types of task and make simple things like a nameplate quite difficult. If your goal is to move beyond the level of signs, simple reliefs, and similar, which are conceptually relief carving from a flat surface with profile cuts, then Fusion is a good place to start. I use this class of software every day, and I learn new things every day, and I routinely find basic concepts that are hard to do (like bisect and angle in Inventor… Grrrrr) Keep in mind when watching tutorials that there is NEVER only one way to do something, and there is often not one BEST way. Whether it will be of use to YOU depends on what you want to do. There is a lot more to it (some I know, some I suspect, in the now long history of this software market sector), but not appropriate to go into here. There are plenty of things to criticize about A.D., but the proactices in making powerful software available to non-pro market is laudable. There is little likelihood that further major restriction of features will occur, based on Autodesk’s past practice in this market, in part because the treat this license as the gateway drug to paid licenses. Really shouldn’t be an issue for most hobbyists and new/learning users. The “limited functionality” means no support from the company, and that the collaboration features (and a few others) are not enabled. There is, as said, a moderate leaning curve, and you never stop learning as you use it. ![]() Fusion360 is no more involved than any other parametric 3D modelling package. Any other suggested relatively “low-cost’to-learn” software suggestions would also be appreciated.ĭo not be afraid. Don’t get me wrong, I typically learn things pretty quickly and I am pretty computer literate, but if some of you guys who have made the transition from 2D to 3D could chime in and especially any of you who have direct experience with Fusion, that would be helpful–particularly as it relates to learning the software. ![]() I’ve looked at some of the video tutorials on the Autodesk website, and even they look very complicated and intimidating. What I really need feedback on is the merits of the program and relative ease of use. However, at the end of your existing term, in order to continue your use of Fusion 360, you’ll need to choose one of t…Ī visit to their website clearly states that their policies have changed, and I know there has been other discussions of how this might be maintained in the future, so I would hate to invest a lot of seat-time in learning something that later becomes prohibitively expensive. This does not impact your free access to Fusion 360. We need to let you know about two new subscription types, Fusion 360 for personal use and Fusion 360 for startups. Not clear exactly what is limited though. You knew it was going to happen, seems the free subscription iwill have “limited functionality”. Fusion 360 subscription changes Unsupported ![]()
