Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

Just get the docker image and run it in a vm…

Oh and if you’re a Mac user go fuck your self. We’d never change the keyboard shortcuts, native mouse/trackpad gestures, or use any of the menu conventions that you use in all your native apps.

Ah yes...let's customize for the Mac's....checks notes...one mouse button.

Yes. Great use of dev resources.

1 button mouses haven’t been a thing for 15 years. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t meant the other button isn’t there and working.

And more importantly, Mac trackpads are the shit, 2-4 finger gestures, pinch zoom, 2d smooth scrolling and occasionally even rotating is super handy and really intuitive. Especially for 3D CAD on a laptop. They’re so good that a lot of people buy magic pads for desktops.

It’s why I’ve never settled on Gimp or Inkscape unless I’m on a Linux box. Also it’s not much fucking work to swap ctrl/alt/command keys around, but hardly any devs even bother with that because they assume Macs are still little blue blobs from 20 years ago.
