Some people use Sketchup and others use Fusion 360. Both are free (fusion is free if you don't make oodles of money) but each are slightly different. I know you all tend to lean towards Sketchup while other makers, especially those with CNC machines, lean towards fusion. What're the pros/cons of each?
