<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 12px;">Hi all, </div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 12px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 12px;">Thanks so much for the quick replys! We actually have Adobe illustrator on all of our Art/tech computers that are used by our VCD teachers and VCD students, I was not aware that it would work in
conjunction with one of these machines. For the ease of already having it installed and having someone who would be able to teach me, would you suggest just going with that?</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 12px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 12px;">Regards.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Personally I have been through a lot of different products, both CAD and other 3D model programs with students. I find that Autodesk Fusion
360 I am trialling this year has been the easiest. Specifically for students to pick up with a very easy learning curve without a scary screen or commands to remember. Other products like Autodesk Inventor/Autocad, although more powerful, quite a few students
get lost. And Google sketch up, just is not what it used to be. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The negative to Fusion360 is the requirement for an account. But only my year 7’s had issues with this – your computer technicians may
be able to assist with their school email address. (They can download the software for free at home)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
