Fusion 360 Free version - work arounds

One thing I don't like about Solid Edge is the cost. If you can't easily find a price, it means it is expensive. I am a retired hobbyist with only a State Pension (£150 per week) as pocket money. Solid Edge looks as though it would take half of that. No way Jose!

I haven't looked at the details of what you can do with it but there is a free edition of Solid Edge for the likes of us...

Thanks Guys, I have loaded up Solid Edge and will try it out when I can get my brain working...

I'm quite tempted to look at SE as well, but still have Vcarve and UCCNC as shiny new software to get to grips with so it won't be just yet. There's a limit to how much the old brain can cope with all at once. Please let us know how you get on.
