Or they just don't want to take on the burden of getting you to improve. PIPs are a pain for everyone involved. If a manger hands out anything lower than "Meets Expectations", their next step is to help you get there, or gather enough data points for HR to safely see you out the door
I went with Shapr3d, originally on the iPad but I believe they have a Mac version now as well. I've found it fairly intuitive for my light complexity projects.
Agreed. I'm a founder of a 3d design & printing shop; of the three of us, one prefers Fusion, one prefers TinkerCAD, and I prefer Shapr3D. It really distills Fusion down; taking the, maybe, 40% of Fusion that 70% of people use 90% of the time, and making it great. If you need the high-high-pro stuff, it probably doesn't have it; but its so rare for me to need it, and the experience is so much smoother & faster. Moreover its modeling... model... its modeling model is practically identical to Fusion, unlike TinkerCAD or Vectary, so if you need that extra oomph, transitioning over to Fusion for that model has been easy for me.
Its biggest issue right now for me is working with text. For example, sketching text on a model then extruding it to type on the model. They finally, like last year, added a text tool; its bad; primarily in the sense that you have to specify the size of the text upfront, the size you specify means literally nothing with respect to the model (just an integer). So its a dance of "op 20 is too big, lets try 18, lets try 15, ok 16 isn't perfect but fine". To be frank, I don't know how it existed for so long, at multi-hundreds-of-dollars per year, without this basic feature, and I can't imagine anyone involved feels pride in its state today.
It also doesn't have any document sync capability, which is unfortunate because, generally, getting files on and off iPads is a hassle; and Shapr3D's Windows & Mac apps have to my usage perfect parity.
I tried shapr - it’s a lovely app, but the free version is extremely limited (only two files!) and $240 per year for the cheapest paid option is pretty steep.
There's a native reader in the Drive app. It's a nice integration actually, allowing for quick management of the file in Drive, keeping it from vanishing forever in my phone's "downloads" folder
I'd been worried about that when I first tried it too. But it opens giant (130MB+) PDFs on my SD card just fine when in airplane mode and when I've had no cell signal. So despite the name, the Drive PDF Viewer app seems to run locally.
That's good to know, but still leaves me with the uneasy feeling of if/when this will change. For my taste, the cognitive load of all these security issues on mobile is a bit too high.
Looks mostly comprehensible to me. A lot of the icons are obvious if you deal with this stuff a lot, like the ELB, Redis icons, and the ones with instance types written on them. Bit too zoomed out to read the small text, though.
I just switched to Project Fi this month. The service has been totally acceptable and the support has been really helpful. Before today's announcement I found myself constantly checking the Project Fi app to see how much data I had used, something I never did on my old provider. This change is much appreciated. I'm especially a fan of them simply rolling this out, no need to opt in. The only way I would know of improved plan options on my old provider was by having a conversation with a sales rep after a support call. I do wish the price per gig was slightly cheaper but I'm comfortable with the increased cost for the improvement of service.
This is my case too. Switching 5 phones for my family over to Google Fi. So far it's been excellent. I too was checking my data in the Project Fi app. Happy to not have to do that anymore.
