Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.

Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!

For learning or use. Fusion 360 still offers a free version for home use. There are great tutorials on YouTube or buy a $30/month Udemy account and get access to tons of courses and everything else in their library and cancel when you're done learning.

For Mac and Windows only, limited to 10 editable designs and 1 drawing at a time.

But you can save your files locally, and then delete them. The 10 file limit isn't really a limit. It's an annoyance.

You can just need to switch them between editble and read-only to save the hassle. But I have 14 on-going projects right now, it's a giant pain to keep within that limit.

I didn't realize you could toggle them. Thanks.
