Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

I've used it for the past year, and no - you aren't doing anything wrong. Had the same experience, and the privilege to compare it to Solidworks. There is no contest, other than price ofc
