For me No. 2, 3, and 5 are why Alibre should really be your main CAD. And the amazing Alibre Script means that even if you're a huge coorporation, you can create the tools that you're missing. If you really want a solution that makes financial sense, you need Alibre.

Love Alibre - been using it since 2007!

Alibre is both easy and powerful. I've made some pretty complicated parts with it. The only complaint is no STL import. If i can natively import STL, even if it converts it to a solid but i can add or cut into it i'd claim alibre the best ever

You can't beat the price-to-quality of Alibre. Nobody comes close. Especially for hobby use.

Bought ATOM3D which is the hobby/entry edition. I'd say after trying multiple 3D CAD (VariCAD in Linux, FreeCAD, Fusion360, OnShape, Plasticity, Shapr3D), Atom3D actually speeded up my learning with *simplified* UI. I came back to VariCAD and I know what I need to look among tons of icons/buttons in complicated UI now.

Not only is it easy to pick up, but the short concise tutorials cover the actual function that your design needs in under 3-5 minutes, without watching a longer 15-minute plus video that you have to scrub through to find the section you need and it doesn't cover it clearly.

One thing I really like in Alibre development is that they concentrate more on make existing tools to work more better for work, not so much on eye candy stuff and launching new betatest modules on every new release.

No Linux or Mac versions?

The proposition that you purchase version x and you own version x forever is appealing if that's really what's you want... Version x forever and probably on a particular pc as well. Everything has to be paid for by the user. I'm just saying there are some downsides to ownership - it's not all smiles all the time and whilst if you know parametric CAD then picking up another parametric CAD will be fairly natural, surely it has to be noted that not all capable CAD is solely based on the parametric methodology, there's also a few good and extremely good dynamic CAD modellers out there.

Alibre also offers subscription licensing. I'm not a fan of subscription myself, but if you want smiles all the time - that's an option to look into 😉

@@sevendaysworth Thanks - I didn't know that.
