Hello! I'm interested in hearing from people who have made the switch from Rhino to Fusion for their CAD and CAM needs. I am currently using Rhino 6 and RhinoCAM, but for various reasons I'm considering switching to Fusion 360. I had no experience with CAD when I started with Rhino, but some with 2D design (mostly with Inkscape). In my limited experience it seems that Rhino and Fusion are quite different interface-wise, but again I'd love to hear from people who have made the switch -- what was the learning curve like? About how long did it take before you were up and running at the same level in Fusion? I'm not planning on running both and using one for certain operations and the other for different things -- one software environment for everything from design to generating G-code would be ideal. I'm hoping to get some professional training if I go for Fusion but any thoughts or advice from the community would be most welcome. Thank you!
A few additional details if you're curious: I'm a guitar builder, and I have a Laguna IQ CNC machine. I'm running Rhino 6 and RhinoCAM 2020 at the moment. Part of my motivation to explore Fusion is the fact that MecSoft (RhinoCAM) does not offer training or anything beyond basic support unless you're running the latest version -- the upgrade cost exceeds the annual fee for Fusion, and buying the latest version only to get training doesn't make financial sense for my business.
