Fusion 360 is a great 3D solid modeler and advanced TSpline surface modeler that offers fantastic usability and performance. The software runs on Mac or Windows which is nice for a mixed environment. Fusion 360 also supports just about any CAD data out...
Parametric modelling has some issues. Mainly the history tree is finicky, things like changing sketches will rename certain lines and arcs (even though all your doing is resizing). This leads to further errors down the design tree. When new lines or arcs...
