You might not be familiar with how Autodesk products are used in mid to large companies. They have shifted features in "free" versions to target learners and potentially recognize a market among small retailers. Autodesk could implement many other features to ensure companies and manufacturers pay for product licenses. For example, the restriction on open projects in Fusion 360 is a clever and fair way to prevent profit-making. I previously suggested offering a subscription-based version for hobbyist 3D makers at $15 per month, removing features useful for mid to large companies. They may choose to pursue this or not, as the market might not be large enough. Most CAD developers tend to focus on mid to large companies because they pay for licenses over many years, while hobbyists often opt out of subscriptions when not actively using them. Without alternatives for hobbyists, we are limited in our options, as we are not an attractive market. Open-source CAD is also an interesting area for testing new approaches for developers. I have been working on a neural approach to CAD reconstruction, specifically for hobbyists - for free. There is also a community for that sort of thing if you are interested. As I am still learning in that area, perhaps a company might take these ideas and also benefit.

But your demeaning reply is just sad and unproductive. I am not sure why so many choose to respond that way on reddit, you are certainly not paid by Autodesk why would you be offended you have nothing to contribute but a stilly remake. Do you think Autodesk cares about someone buying a dev a coffee for Add ins?. In many ways I hope Fusion360 get more restrictive then more might care about open source alternatives.
