Recommendation for CAD that works with 3DConnexion Mouse

[drewdavis]

I'm still running an ancient desktop install of SketchUp Free because it works so well with my 3DConnexion 3D mouse. I'm left-handed and the ability to use the 3D mouse left-handed and the regular mouse right-handed at the same time has made for very smooth 3D modeling.

While the old SketchUp still works eventually I'd like to get onto more up to date software. Anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced 3D CAD that works with a 3D mouse, and is capable of making models that can be imported into slicer for 3D Printing or Blender for modeling?

For the non-pro uses I have for the above and woodworking projects, I'm not interested in paying annuallly for web-based CAD and prefer installed software, if possible.

Try FreeCAD.

I've been using Fusion360 for several years, and my Spacemouse Compact works beautifully. F360 is free to use for hobbyists and is very definately a hi-end CAD system. It's fully parametric and can create mesh files for 3D printing as well as CNC code for a number of different CNC machines. The only things missing from the hobbyist version are not likely to be required by a hobbyist.
