      the wired writer gives a good pitch for fusion (on a phone.. can't try it right now)
      I'll be checking it out so thanks for the heads up.. ๐Ÿ‘

      re:Mac cad.. I'm hyped all these programs are coming.. weird that most of them are in beta right now (cool that they're all free to use for the time being ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

      once the dust settles-- maybe 2 years from now-- Macs are going to be full on legit cad computers.

            oh. right. maybe the tongue->cheek didn't come through.
            all of my stuff is done on Mac too and always has been. (well, since 2000.. prior was drafting and/or napkins)

            but you know the old 'macs are toys... can't do any real work etc' line..
            it's always funny hearing that stuff but we probably won't be in a couple of years.

              Yes if you want to do work on overpriced bloatware. We DO need to see some Power towers
              though

                  not sure why it's so big.. the app doesn't feel bloated.. maybe there's some sort of library containing (?) that I haven't come across yet?

                  after messing around with fusion for a few minutes, it seems pretty nice.
                  I'll try something more serious when I'm done with my current project and report back.

                      Looks to be oriented to industrial design. In the download questionnaire "AEC" was not even listed as type of profession.

                        yeah.. by looking at the export options, i think you're right..

                        it's solidworks_ish.. i never used a modeler like that..
                        i think i might try to at least get the basics down..

                          i'm definitely buying one of these betas once they're finished.. probably rhino but i might as well try the others just in case..

                            I wonder if AD plans to bundle this with AutoCAD Mac like they do with AutoCAD on the PC? That is that you get Inventor Fusion with your copy of AutoCAD.
