Any recommendations on what to use beside Fusion? I hate that the files created in it are only stored in the cloud while I would like to use git for version management.
I would say that if you use CAD at home as a hobby then F360 is the best because it is hard to beat free. If you want a little more, and a more familiar set up, then you can have SolidWorks a year for $100 as a hobbyist. Which isn’t a bad deal.
I absolutely recommend FreeCad. It can be pretty hard to learn because it feels unfamiliar at first if you come from Inventor (Like me Back in the day). But it is FOSS and that alone is a big plus. Also it’s pretty versatile, you can notl only do 3d CAD, but also architecture, structural Analysis (FEA), or CAM if you are into that sort of thing.
Give it a try, and dont be discouraged by the steep learning curve!
