Some of you familiar with Fusion 360. What is the different between these two? Because Fusion 360 subscription is very cheap compared with SWX. Maha, I'd suggest you get the free license and try it out.... you might like it. IMHO... since it comes from aDe$k (they are huge and have a lot of $$$).. ...

So it would use both using data to position itself and then collecting data to give back to you in the form of a point cloud scan of the object, which you c...

Well, here's some news on a smaller PLM company that just got gobbled up by Autodesk. Interesting that Autodesk had to go buy one! https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/15/autodesk-acquires-upchain/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB54zC3Aq3QUCe3xGZjlc...

"Opera" - it's fast, it's easy to set favs, it has built in privacy options.

"Vivaldi" is also fast and simple.
