Yeah, Jim. Mostly the license cost. Solidworks is my preferred 3D modeling tool, but a single seat costs ~$5K. I still use it professionally every day, but on someone else’s dime. If that ever changes, I want to be using a tool that I can afford. I do know that Solidworks is going to offer a cloud based solution similar to Fusion very soon. It may already be available. Again, I expect it to be 
.
Another consideration was a 1F post processor for Solidworks CAM, which I believe was solved here. This is really cool - I should definitely give it a shot since I’m about 5-10x faster in Solidworks.
Then there’s the benefits of Fusion, such as cloud based account and storage, not needing a huge computer to run it effectively, collaboration, and cost as I mentioned.
Finally, I like learning a new platform and using a common tool that others in the community are using. That’s pretty high value to me.
