I got it. So far I'm quite happy with it. The cloud thing doesn't bother me but I also havn't fiddled with it enough to see how well it acts offline. I got it partially for 3D printing and partially for CNC routing/milling. The CAD + CAM + Tsplines is worth the deal price ($300/yr) to get into the ultimate for life. Never really worked with Blender but the simplicity and advantages over something like sketchup are tremendous. The parametric modeling is so easily adjustable that I never have to worry about remaking a model from scratch just because the geometry was unhappy for some reason.

Ah, yes, I have not thought of it that way. I believe you can work offline. Ill check it out later.

Every time you see the word cloud in relation to the internet, replace it with the phrase, "someone else's server that I have no control over".

the problem is not stolen idea/models from the cloud; it's that you cant use it without an internet connection...

The pros outweigh the cons for me. I don't really have any million dollar ideas I have to worry about being stolen off the cloud anyway.

the fact that you NEED to upload your design in the cloud to open/import it in fusion 360 is a deal breaker for me...

Just a heads up if any of you are looking at fusion 360. If you purchase now you get a free upgrade to ultimate for life! It looks very promising so far.

I couldn't pass it up! I do a lot of CNC work so its a nice gamble for me.

Here is a good write up. Pass it on!
