I found that Onshape required more internet bandwidth than Fusion 360 (Also free for hobbyists) and it was slow for me for that reason. If you've got good bandwidth it should be fine.

Well I don't  really have a need for a cad programme I seem to manage ok with the crap o cad. I know there are  several free ones available. And don't think I could spend the time on it  to make full use of it.

Onshape can't import dxf files so it's a non-starter for me.  Fusion 360 has builtin CAM which makes it more valuable for me.
