They should still be able to access anything that is in the 3D warehouse after Jan 31st and they are using supported version (like the free online version). He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way. Like most CAD software there is a learning curve but their free online classes are excellent. It is free as long as you do not mind having your designs stored in the cloud as public (sort of l 3D warehouse). I have been slowly transitioning to when doing more complex drawings, especially for 3D printing and CNC projects, since last year but it looks like they are finally giving me the shove to get more proficient at it so that it is my first choice, even for simple quick and dirty sketches.Īnyway, if you want to grab something or you want to access your drawings stored in the 3D warehouse in an older version, you better download them now.īTW, I highly recommend On Shape if you are looking for a good CAD tool. Unless you buy it as soon as it comes out, the support life is actually less than 3 years. 3 years is pretty dang short for purchased software, IMO.
