Proper parametric modeling takes some practice to get the workflow down and if you are coming from a strictly AutoCAD background, it will take some serious mental shifting to make the switch. I probably won't renew it and will try to use the CAM built in to Solidworks.Įngineering CAD is a whole 'nother animal than Sketchup. I got fusion mostly for the CAM, and it is something like $500 for the year. Solidworks is still local, and you can still purchase a perpetual license. Fusion is online/cloud based, and that is a real hurdle sometimes. Dassault Systems who publishes Solidworks has their shit together, and they are much more respected in the CAD industry than Autodesk. If there is an educational version or a "maker" version of solidworks available, I would HIGHLY recommend that route. I think the basic version is like, 4 grand, and then the maintenance is $1200/year. That said, it is not free, and has a very real price tag. I have Fusion 360 and Solidworks, and Solidworks is far and away better CAD. The free version's CAM is VERY limited, so you can't run a lot of machines or toolpaths off it, but it is still MILES better than sketchup. You can draw parts to laser cut, make models to 3D print or machine, and pretty much do whatever you want within reason. A hobby license is free, and even the pro version is only a few hundred bucks a year. It is VERY powerful software for the money. For 99% of hobby work, fusion 360 is probably your best bet.
