Autodesk have changed the free licence terms, you are now getting less than previously.

I got an email about this recently, seems much the same as many free / entry level services. Get enough people hooked then force them into paying

Well I am not a user as when I tried to use it the lack of 2d and dxf/dwg export was a killer. - Oddly these are the things that having originally decided were not needed - they are stopping .

CAM support has been drastically cut back: no more multi-axis milling, probing, automatic tool changes, or rapid feeds, but support for 2, 2.5, and 3 axis remains

I have to say that anyone using a "Personal" licence with most of these has a hobby expensive enough to buy the real thing !
