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.

The new CAD assist feature will save me hours from every setup. If you do production work (metals, plastic injection) fusion's value is still a hard to beat. Pays for itself a lot of times over.

The prismatic option when converting meshes is the big one for me. I find I am modifying downloaded files so often.
