I recently pirated autocad for a friend. While i was looking into it I saw a couple people who recieved letters telling them to stop and one even claimed they required them to scan the pc with some software and send them the results. Also, according to some redittors, other programs on the pc, even those not made by autodesk may snitch on you. So we started looking to foss alternatives, which there are some good ones btw, but in the end we just said "fuck it" and pirated it anyways because we needed to open .dwg files and autodesk had the brilliant idea of making it a proprietary format so they gave us no choice. What were they expecting us to do? Pay? lol
Its been about a month since, no problems so far.
I agree with the foss alternatives part. FreeCAD isn't great, but I've been loving ondsel lately which is a fork that improves the interface and even sends some pull requests to the upstream. 😊
Havent heard of ondsel, I'll check it out. Thanks! ^.^
Go with CATIA or something that's a bit less targeted at home players.
I'll check it out too. Thanks again!
