Hmm title is confusing. Maybe changing to the original post title will be better?

That being said, I wish I can run CAD like fusion 360 on Linux. Anyone know of any way to make this happen?



I'm in the same boat. Would love to be able to use Fusion in linux, especially with Apple dropping OpenGL support. Last I read they were looking to move the app to web-based and be platform agnostic.


I tried the web beta version and it's pretty limited and super slow. Nothing compared to OnShape but OnShapes license, policy and direction has been so bad that I dropped them pretty much after the official release (I used them during the beta phase).


I use FreeCAD. It is sometimes annoying, but much better than any alternative I've tried.

For more programmatic CAD, OpenSCAD is also good.


I use FreeCAD and OpenSCAD (especially "automated" file generation) and like what they stand for but unfortunately neither really compares to a standard CAD program. Maybe I'm too used to the big three CAD software.
