Here is the link to the terms for education and startup use. http://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/terms-of-service-autodesk360-web-services/autodesk-web-services-entitlements
Also the Fusion 360 software is excellent for milling and is pretty good for plasma. I wrote a post processor for the waterjet/laser/plasma setup that works with John T's O<touchoff> subroutine. I will be posting it on the forum for others to use. The plasma allows for patterning parts for nesting but does not have a smart nesting feature yet. You can use a model of your partially used plate to determine locations of your part in that plate if you like. As everyone else has said you can't hardly beat Fusion360 with a stick unless you fall out of the terms of the startup/hobby/education license. Then it is still pretty cheap. Now if they would make a build for Linux everyone could be happy. We could request that a build be made for Debian Wheezy on the Idea station and then get as many votes from the LinuxCNC community as possible and it might sway them to do a build. I would bet that they would not make the build for Wheezy however since it is not the latest release.
