using Fusion 360

[Mike Windsor]

I've found some excellent tutorials : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzknioA34F8 . I was using the free version of 360 , and took advantage of a sale and bought a 3 year subscription . I think at the time it was $1200 and includes the ability to create toolpaths for the Shopbot ( once I figure out how ) . The only thing I dont like is that when I first bought a liscence for Fusion 360 a few years ago it was $120 for 2 years . Then after investing some time learning it the price went way up , but at least they had the free hobby user version . A lot of usefull features are removed from the free version , and I can apreciate that Autodesk wants to make it just inconvenient enough that you want to buy the working version to keep them in business . Some of the abilities for the free version made it possible to do most things , but with a lot more steps and creative work arounds , ..The risk I dont like is that I will invest my time into learning the program , fall in love with it then the next renewal might be way beyond my means
