I have a free account, and a full fibre connection giving me 266Mbps down & 66 up at this minute over the domestic wifi. On rare occasions there can be a small delay in the Onshape response.

I only work in 2D and have been using QCAD for a while after Dessault started charging for their previously free version.

Quote from: LaurenticSolid Edge seems only available for Windows, not Mac.  And even then, it seems it needs Windows 10 or 11, Enterprise or Professional with active MicrosSoft support.  So unless you are an up-to-date Windows operative........



Yes, Solid Edge CE only runs on Windows but I am running SE2026 on both Windows 10 & Windows 11 i5 Laptops Home Edition quite happily.
Both laptops came with Windows pre-installed on purchase and everything worked well out if the box.  Life is too short (and rapidly getting shorter in my case) for me to start re-inventing wheels that already turn perfectly...
