For now I will renew my license at least one more time. I have heard about the solidworks through EAA its been a thing for a while. Does it include CAM? If so I might have to look into it. I moved from solidworks to Fusion 360 a few years ago. I preferred solidworks. I never got used to the interface with fusion and to this day find it to be awkward to use. Both programs are far more capable than I am and the end results are better than I need in either program. I only got rid of solidworks because the cost was just too high. Way to high.

I should point out the awkward part of fusion for me is the CAD. The CAM is very easy to use and the results are great. I think I just got so used to solidworks that the switch was difficult. To be honest if I learned a few more shortcuts I would probably be happy with fusion.
