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.

Seems to still be offered, the license allows up to $2000 profit as well instead of $1000 revenue with fusion.

Nice, someone commented veteran pricing that's $20 a year, which I qualify for, so definitely going to try it out. Thanks!

That's a more reasonable threshold, and allows some wiggle room if you have an idea that blows up and makes you a few bucks (what is profit? Can you count your PC and printer as capital expenditures? etc etc).

Autodesk is gonna Autodesk, but they should, at a minimum, match that term.
