which cad programs are you guys using?

[robertspark]

AutoDesk AutoCAD 2020
AutoDesk Inventor 2020

Free 2D....
https://librecad.org/

I keep trying fusion 360 but prefer inventor.... day job is autocad so the nomenclature is understandable to me..... never got on with solidworks.

There is TinkerCAD for 3D solid objects (think 3D printing) which is done through the bending / adding of shapes I believe (only had a little play with it)

I use TurboCad 2018, very fair price and easy to learn

Have used for years. Seems there are many options nowadays but back in the day not so much. This is what I know so I stick with it and it works great in my opinion.

BUMP! Looking to peel away from Fusion 360. It just runs WAAYYY TOOO SLOOOW with complex drawings. It's not the computer specs either.

Wish I could afford AutoDesk AutoCad.
