You say that as if it a good thing. As a non-commercial user of cad-tools I avoid fusion 360 like the plague.

Now if they had charged a reasonable amount for a license I'd pay but now I see it as a net loss for society. The only goal it serves is to squasch competition and free software.




I just say it as if I consider it positioned between KiCad & Altium.

I'd like to avoid F360, but for 3D modelling it just seems so far ahead of FreeCAD, which still has the frustrations I have with F360 as someone used to working with git anyway; really I just want to learn OpenSCAD or similar well enough.

For MCAD give SolveSpace a try - https://solvespace.com/
