Let’s Set The Pitch To -2.2mm

Changing Your How To Draw Threads In Fusion 360It's great to great organic designs (characters, animals, figurines, etc.) but it's not good for functional parts. And it will never be, CAD and 3D modeling for organic/art are fundamentally different. So the current Blender modeling options are isomorphic to those of a BREP modeller. I think you meant "marginal cost", and in software it mostly comes from the cost of engineers and infrastructure that maintain, create, and deliver the software. Nowadays that includes bandwidth, storage, and compute for any cloud component. Software is only zero marginal cost if you create it, release it, and never touch it again. Last I checked, they're still a company that runs on losses. Seems like you're the one who needs a reality check. Imagine, people walk in to wherever you work, and just because your place of employment makes millions if not billions, ask for free stuff? Why would you move your product into the cloud if it only increased your marginal costs? You move into the cloud to increase your marginal revenue. The choice for me is not between paying Autodesk and not paying Autodesk. The question is whether Autodesk lets me use Fusion for my hobby/personal products, at no cost to them, or whether they push me towards a competing ecosystem. The latter seems like it makes everyone worse off, at least in my particular case- that's what makes this so disappointing. So now I'm going to have FreeCAD experience, not Fusion experience.
