For anyone who's ever wanted to or is currently trying to learn CAD I urge you to stick with it.
I struggled for several years with Fusion360 and finally gave up. I was turned me onto Alibre Atom3D and it's been a game changer for me.
Admittedly I did not put in as much time with Fusion as I have with Alibre so I can't say one is easier than the other. Only that something has clicked and I'm actually enjoying the CAD experience now.
Yesterday I was trying to turn a 2D DXF of nine parts into 3D models. And getting frustrated fast.
This morning I persevered and figured out the problems, fixed them out and successfully modelled the nine parts.
That's a really good feeling.
