Thanks! The links I previously posted seemed to imply that Fusion360 is free for educational use and $300 for everyone else, even though I had repeatedly read that there is a hobby and startup business exemption. I guess the marketing department doesn't want to make that too obvious on the website for fear that suddenly a large percentage of their customers will suddenly become small business startups.

Several others chimed in expressing interest and encouragement as well, but the AutoDesk representative terminated that discussion with extreme prejudice. The AutoDesk representative readily admitted that they were using cross platform development tools to develop Fusion360 for Windows and Mac, so it certainly wouldn't be a complete manual rewrite to port Fusion360 to Linux, but they made a corporate decision not to support Linux because, "Linux users won't pay for software". It was a kinder and gentler version of the 1990s era Microsoft statement that, "Linux is cancer." I countered by saying that Linux users can't buy software if commercial software vendors don't offer Linux software for sale, and followed up by noting that by far my most expensive software purchase was Eagle electronic design software (US$1200 plus annual maintenance costs), and I would not have bought it if not for the fact that it was available for Linux. Our arguments fell on deaf ears. It may be worth trying to talk to someone else at AutoDesk, but the employee who was responding to the posts on their user forum seemed to have a religious prohibition to Linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
