I just came to the same conclusion and shifted everything over to Onshape. Now I’m coming to terms with my stuff being public. Super slowness, crashing on quit, super finicky file storage… I tried really hard to make it work, but nope, switching. It’s too bad, I started on AutoCAD back in the 90s 🤷♂️

Excellent, yes, I'm totally just using this stuff as an amateur/hobbyist now - I've been out of doing mechanical design professionally for 25 years now :)

Nice! I used CADKEY back in the late 90s, but the shop reverted back to 2D with AutoCAD LT. Later I played around with Pro/DESKTOP (like Pro/ENGINEER for edu) in the early 2000s, but by that time I was in software and was just playing around. Good times, using this stuff just takes me back…

As an example: Onshape is in PTC's lineage of 3D CAD software from the 1990s. It stems from Pro/Engineer (Pro-E) that cost over $20k per seat back in the 90s. I can use Onshape for free, in my browser, in 2025. Crazy.

Same, YouTube is really my only Alphabet property now… but I don’t know if I can give it up. There just isn’t anything out there to replace it! Ugh.
