I run Fusion 360 on a Mac, but THANKS for finding *Paperspace*. I have an Amazon AWS account but that is best used for things like machine learning experiments not interactive use. 18 cents is just stupid-cheap. These high-end computers can burn up a kilowatt of power if you push them to full l

I thought so too. Got me thinking again about what CAD you can run in Linux, so getting way off topic I came across this: https://joshschertz.com/2017/08/09/Run-Fusion-360-in-Ubuntu/ Martin Nicely done Andy. It was a really good demo. John Dammeyer _

One of the problems with CAD system is that now you can design things that are very complex and compound curves are trivial to make so you used them and then you start worrying about of a sharp edge should be broken with a 1mm or a 1.5mm radius.Because your two inch long part is being displayed

It would be done in AlibreCAD in much the same way. I agree with Andy. And to add one other comment. When learning CAD it does take at times a different way of thinking about solving a problem. Adding reference lines and drawing relative to the reference line and then often removing that lin

An easier way to get the round corners in a D-Sub cutout is to use an endmill with the radius of the corners then make the trapezoid with sharp corners. Offset to the inside and let that and the tool size take care of the round corners. ___ Emc-users

Hi Andy I watched that. It did look a long winded. Near the end you seem to be repeatedly trying to dimension values that are already defined? Also, to sketch a fillet, there should be two ways to do it. Either click on the two lines, as you did, or simply click on the vertex. It's a lot quicker.
