Autodesk criticised by architects

Fusion 360 isn’t a Solidworks competitor, not even close that would be Autodesk Inventor.

Yes Fusion 360 is very easy to use but it is because it’s basically sketchup with basic CAM, simulation and parametric modeling baked in.

It's actually nothing like sketchup, it's a full fledged parametric modeler, which sketchup never was.

Now yes it began its life as a freeform and direct edit modeling, which it’s still it’s main focus.

I believe Fusion 360 is full AutoCAD engine with locked down GUI?

Fusion 360 was spun off inventor not Autocad, it also shares the same core with inventor - Autodesk ShapeManager.

AutoCAD also seems to use ShapeManager
