Got this email from Autodesk that Fusion is increasing their annual price by a huge amount. I subbed for 1 year a couple years ago for I think $380. Then I was able to get an educational sub after that. Fusion is still the cheapest CAD software out there, not including the free stuff like FreeCAD, but still, this price increase is massive.

It should be noted that it's still free to use for personal use minus the extra features.

No need to apologize, even if it supposedly is the custom in your part of the world. 😉 You still pointed out something that I didn't know about and for that you have my eternal gratitude. Not much of it, mind, but some of it.
