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, no - they're not raising the price; they're rebalancing it to reflect the value it delivers!!1!
And since they've reduced the free version functionality significantly, I believe I'm due a substantial rebate.
A five finger rebate
I dont use it, but did they bundle any other software in or add any features that would justify the use of the word "rebalancing" or is it just plain old fashioned corporate bullshit?
What did they take out of the free version?
It's been a little while, but they gutted the mesh editing tools in he free version. They also dropped the number of active models, restricted certain file-functions (maybe assemblies...I don't do any/many), and limited file import/export.
