![]() ![]() It is dystopian, and the devil is being universally cheered upon. That is the SOLE purpose of it, why do we accept that? The whole application is architectured to lock you in. I'm sure I'm mistaken on some points (please correct me!), because I vomit every time I decide I want to try it and start the download process and start reading their pages (and I don't think I even got to the privacy policy). But you don't want the files in the same version control system that you use for everything else? What's next, save your python files in another cloud? It's absurd.Ĭan you export your files to be workable in any other software? (aside from very expensive autodesk products)Īre you not risking loosing everything you ever produced? It's like python2 -> python3 but instead of compatibility issues your code just disappears or held hostage. But are people really that eager to be completely dependent on autodesk?ĭo people not realize that perhaps the reason for why fusion 360 is so cheap is because they are aiming (and on a fast track) to get complete monopoly? Does that not bother anyone? You wouldn't even be able to stick to an older version of the software.Ĭan you even version control your files? (will you in the future, without buying the premium package?) Yes I know the cloud has your back and everything. Fusion 360 is an awesome piece of software. Also, BricsCAD's equivalent of DraftSight 2019 Premium, BricsCAD Pro, costs $1105 Perpetual or $442 a year subscription, just a little less than DraftSight Premium.It really saddens me that people are recommending fusion 360 here. Maybe I shouldn't wait.Įdit: With a little research, I am led to believe, though it is not stated explicitly, that BricsCAD is completely compatible with current DWG. ![]() However, the longer I wait, the more important the perpetual license becomes. It's cheap enough for me to overlook the subscription conundrum for now. So, long story short, if DraftSight 3D is worth a damn, I'll pay for it. Unfortunately I am constrained to using current DWG format, and it looks like Brics stops at 2013 (Website just says "dwg" wikipedia says "dwg 2.5 to 2013".) Anyone know if this is correct? Now though, I don't know how much I will need a software in three or five years, why should I pay full price for it? I'd be happy to amortize a perpetual license, but fuck me if I'm going to pay hundreds of bucks for a software I might pull up four times a year, then lose all access to my data once I decide to hang it up.Īt this point, BricsCAD Platinum is looking like the best option for a perpetual license at $1560. Thirty years ago I would have had no problem with a subscription model. The thing that really is really annoying me, is that I am looking to slow down or maintain my business, not grow it. I still like it for the look and feel - I can whip out nice looking images without having to mess with setting up renders just for conceptual modeling. I got Sketchup originally to maintain compatibility with some of my old clients. One of the main reasons I switched to DraftSight in the first place was the permanent license. Funny, with DraftSight 2019 Premium(3D) at $599, the $1000 a year difference.less than a hundred bucks a month.heh. I used to use AutoCAD all the time, but in semi-retirement, it's not worth it to me to pay thousands of dollars. If I was going to cough up $3995, I'd just get AutoCAD and be done with it. Yeah - I use the 2D drafting 90% of the time, 3D 10%. ![]()
