When I found F360 I knew that it was new software heavy in development and with new work and features being worked on agressively.
I was however under the impression that everything currently in the package was stable and production ready.
Although the price is currently pretty great I am still paying for a product and don't expect to be hassling with development bugs.
Now admittedly I do have drawing and CAM modules enabled but most of my issues have been since before I did so or what seem completely unrelated for the most part.
Days of the software and my files not being accessible.
Crashes many times per day, sometimes to open up and find a file doesn't even appear to exist that had been save noumerous times, closed out and reopend before the crash.
Sometimes it's so slow and jerky it takes twice as long to do anything.
I am currently waiting for a CAM related issue.
I have been waiting for about 15 min now after it froze during a post process.
Now either I close it and loose the last bit of work and who knows what else or I just wait to see what it does. 9 times out of 10 it will crash anyway with no explination of what went wrong.
It just doesn't seem as production ready as autodesk presents it to be.

But a development/beta that you pay for?
If that's the case how much are we going to be expected to pay once it's a proper product?

I agree it's impressive what they have done and how fast they have done it.
It just seems really glitchy and buggy for what is supposed to be production ready software.
It's still my best option at the moment but it's frusterating paying for software and still needing to deal with beta type glitches and crashes.
Heck, coming from the linux world I am used to running alpha or development branch software that is more stable.
