Additionally, I am using the free version of Fusion 360 at the moment, but only to produce Gcode, not for design. To my utter amazement, I got on with it like no other 3D program I had tried previously and believe me, I'd tried an awful lot, with limited or no success. I also took advantage of the offer in MEW a couple of years ago to try Alibre Atom 3D for an extended trial period. QCAD Pro - for 2D drawings, simply because I started using it when I needed to produce drawings for the workshop. If you are looking for free or shareware programs, your choice will be limited, naturally. Everyone has their own favourite software. There are a number of threads on the forum which cover this question with as many suggestions as there are contributors. I now find fusion a bit frustrating, but i am certain it is still the best free system availiable
It takes a lot of effort to learn a new application even if you are familiar with either 2d or 3D cad, they all work differently.
It just mean a bit more work on the aspect of which file you keep editable I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a product but some of the prices I've seen seem very expensive for hobby use.Īlthough the free version of 360 has reduced the availability of drawings ( only one drawing sheet per file), they are still possible within the 10 active file limit. I've used Autocad at tech and Draftsight (now no longer free) in the past and have tried FreeCad and SolidEdge with limited success. I'm currently using Fusion 360 for producing 3D print files and while I'm comfortable with using it the lack of ability to produce engineering drawings is disapointing, I had previously been able to get these but the last paring back of features in the free version seems to have removed this feature. I want to find a suitable software program for 2D and 3D drawing.
