ah this is the professional CAD tool from autodesk. I only used the minimalistic web version of Tinker CAD, probaly enough to do small customizations on cases

Yes, I use the free version. I tried TinkerCAD, but actually I find it more difficult than fusion :D But I highly recommend getting a 360 CAD mouse for better use.
