I had solidworks sales people contact me and we chatted. No matter what i tried, they wanted to charge me multiple thousands a year. Any free copy would eventually stop working for example when I updated to a new version. I'm happy with Fusion 360, it solves a collection of problems for me well enough that unless I see a similar program for less money (I already became proficient in FreeCAD and OpenSCAD before switching to Fusion 360), I don't plan to switch since I've already invested a lot of effort into mastering the fairly complicated user interface and feature set provided.
