How about support for Fusion 360?

Would you use something like this if it worked well in Fusion 360? We chose to start with SolidWorks because when talking with people in mechanical engineering, almost everyone was using SolidWorks and no one even mentioned Fusion (despite online surveys saying it's like 45/45).

The people who use Solidworks buy Solidworks to use Solidworks. You'll go up to one of them and they'll have the whole model done in like 8 key presses before you even finish typing in your prompt.

All the people who aren't professional CAD users have Fusion, which they can get for free. They would probably benefit the most from text to model AI, but would probably also be the least willing to pay.

My experience has been professional engineers are using Solid works. Hobbiests are using a variety of often free software.

		Fusion doesn't have the needed tools to large machine designs with multiple components. They have only just added the ability to have assemblies where the parts are separately defined in their own files. Without that, it is only suitable for small, low parts count, one off projects.

Seemingly half the FDM modellers on Printables.com use Fusion 360

Solidworks is the GOAT though
