They offer a discount $150 for 3 years the $680 full price. 😞 it was bound to happen.

Hmmm… that page doesn’t mention the free “personal use” license for hobbyists.

^ This page still exists, and doesn’t mention it is going away, so maybe there is still hope.

The free personal portion was nerfed recently with only a limited of active designs available and other functions blocked or paywalled.

[–] IMALlama 17 points 1 year ago

It limits you to 10 editable things at once and I think caps the number of components you can have. I haven't found either of these very restrictive to my use cases as a home user/hobbiest. I hope the personal portion isn't going away, will have to deal with migrating everything and learning new workflows 😭

10 project limit is in F360 for years now. Also who cares when you can save/open local files?

[–] SeemsNormal 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can? How? I’ve fumbled around looking for this but always get the “you’re not connected to the internet”.

[–] Aux 2 points 1 year ago

You can click export and save F3D file locally. Then you can delete it from the cloud and open a different file from your PC. I have dozens of the designs saved locally.

You can also mark designs as ready-only and they no longer count, so this limit is really 10 concurrently editable designs. I just keep everything read-only unless I'm actively working on it.

[–] Aux 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Also deleting a design puts it into a rubbish bin indefinitely and you can restore them at any time.

It works great for me. You push one button to make something read-only or not. There are very few functions that I care about that are blocked. I use it for design and even CAM on a CNC router.
