Can't even take a short break from 3D designing stuff. Glad I'm switching over to FreeCAD. All I wanted was to grab some dimensions from an old model.

Used 3ds from 1994-today, but stopped paying in 2015 when they stopped selling permanent licenses. Today I use 2015 and blender, and tho newer max has snazzy plugins like tyflow, it's not worth paying autodesk's ridiculous sub fees.
