• Anyone else unable to sign into their AutoDesk account?

  Check with your team now, I'm able to sign into autodesk.com now at least. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I force all devices to sign out?

  I believe that we're using NAMED USER license. When I sign in to autodesk.com I need to attach a product (Civil 3D in my case) to a specific user. I can remove that product from any user at any time and give it to another user. I do not believe that any of my staff is using their own devices. They say that they are not, and I believe them, but that's sort of the mystery at this point. I only have so many... Source: over 1 year ago

• Autodesk wants to audit me when I'm not a current subscriber.

  Sorry if the image wasn't clear. The gmail address is mine and the person I was talking to came from an @ autodesk.com email. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can the Fusion360 slicer do anything Cura can't?

  I think my question title may be autodesk.com that reads,. Source: about 2 years ago

• My fridge was kind enough to justify the existence of my 3d printer yesterday

  Sign up for fusion 360 on autodesk.com It's free. Watch some youtube videos to get you started, and start playing around. Doesn't take long to start doing small things, and being a real design program, you can edit a build to make adjustments, and not have to rebuild the entire things. Source: over 2 years ago

• Pattern Making Software Recommendations?

  The best software for your situation is to work with a basic 2D CAD program. You would still need to learn the software but they are pretty basic. I'm not an expert in what is free but googling I found this open source one https://qcad.org/en/. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's the most accomplished CAD software for Linux?

  QCAD has a free community version and professional and CAM versions for reasonable prices. Check out the features list to see which version you will need, although make sure the community version works on your system before committing to a paid version. Source: over 2 years ago

• Free alternatives to AutoCAD?

  I'm no longer a user of CAD programs so this might be a bit outdated. But for 2D take a look at QCAD. For 3D modeling and lots of other functionality you have FreeCAD. Source: over 2 years ago

• New to laser, How to designe?

  If you are looking for something free that can handle dimensions I would recommend QCAD. https://qcad.org/en/ It only supports 2D drawings, but I find it works well for laser cutting / engraving work. The free windows versions is also a bit trashy/unusable in free mode. But the Linux version works great if you want to try booting Linux off a USB stick. Source: about 3 years ago
