What's New in Fusion 360 - January 2020

[@opendstudio7141]

[@Pumoneon]

is the example shown in 0:30 available for download? I would like to tinker with it and decide if it's worth to switch from Altium.

[@adskFusion]

Let me check with the appropriate contact, but my assumption is that it is not (it is a customers file). That said, if this is something that might help you switch from Altium, I'm pretty sure we can find you something of value! We'll be back in touch later today.

Does anyone know how to use Fusion360 on a 4k display? i got my new 4k Display today and wanted to try out the new Update. I am using the Education license and it does not seem to work, even with Windows high-DPI scaling on. Drivers are installed. Sometimes the buttons move into other buttons or the resolution does not seem to fit and i could not find anything about it on Google, that is relevant.

OMG... speechless - or when dreams come true Great job 👍

[@adskFusion]

Thanks much! Glad you're as excited as we are!

[@SpecieSUrT]

"[...] EAGLE users switching to Fusion Electronics will notice some key differences: Many of the tools with icons in EAGLE are replaced with a different interface." - Well, I do hope so!! I used Eagle already some years ago before Autodesk bought it and really appreciated the new looks you gave it. But when it comes down to usability, Eagle's interface still feels like it comes straight from the nineties. So much clicking and mouse travelling, making work very cumbersome. Then recently I started using Fusion360, as I'm a bit into 3D-printing lately and was absolutely amazed by the well designed UI. Now you're making my secret dream come true: Eagle, but with the fresh and elaborate UI of Fusion360! Thank you guys, seriously!

[@adskFusion]

Like this perspective! Most of the time UI changes are met with resistance (to put it lightly), so to have someone who knows Eagle excited to see these changes is great! Thanks much!

[@stonecraft745]

Im coming from industrial electrics, and automation. I have no clue about PCBs but this seem almost equally huge as the CAD environment of Fusion. Can't wait to experience something new and develop my low voltage projects.

[@adskFusion]

It is, and remains 'UGE. Let us know how your experience goes.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

Is this something we have to activate? Im not seeing it in my Fusion 360 window.

[@adskFusion]

Nope! One you update you should see it...do you need a restart? Do you know where to find the buttons? Its somewhat hidden...

[@darkshadowsx5949]

@@adskFusion Thanks for the reply. i think my problem was that i was still hanging on to the old license. i only had 13 days left. I guess no license update no feature update situation? my problem now is getting the tracing system to work. There is Zero tutorials that i can find on it since its so new. I keep getting a system sound when i try to do anything trace related. I can get Fanout/VIa to work but i get an extra hole in my PCB board. and im unsure that's the correct way to do things. can you please do a tutorial or do you only do update news?

[@adskFusion]

We do all kinds of material; Quick Tips, tutorials, updates. That said, you might want to check with the Eagle Channel as a lot of the workflows are going to be extremely similar: kzbin.infosearch?query=tracing I'll run this by our SME (from the EAGLE team) to see if they have an idea what's happening here.

[@adskFusion]

So our expert weighed in...he suggested you take this to the forum as he thought pertinent details were missing from your description. Can you pop over here: forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-electronics/bd-p/6071

[@nsk_artem]

Amazing, almost full device roadmap just in one place! Thank you, that's truly amazing! Hope, that you'll not abandon EAGLE, by the way.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Artem! Let us know how everything goes!

[@nsk_artem]

@@adskFusion tested it partly, that's nice to see, that the managed libraries are shared with the EAGLE. Hope to see automatic local backup of projects possibility, that'll be useful in the case of internet problems.

[@helicopterjohns]

Will these features be available in the Hobbyist Version of Fusion 360?

[@Ken-P]

Assuming you're referring to the "Personal-Not for Commercial Use" version it's in the latest update, go to the file menu and select "New Electronics Design".

[@adskFusion]

What Ken-P said! See Keqings blog for far more details on how to use this tool, including this important step! www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/january-27-2020-product-update-whats-new/

[@chrisingram7277]

Just when you think your getting a grasp on Fusion as a hobbyist, now this, lots' more to learn. It is working btw this morning after the update and following Ken-p instruction.

[@adskFusion]

Don't feel like you need to drink from the firehose! Start simply. Focus on a single workspace or skill, then expand from there.

[@Hemeralopie]

When will you implement weld symbols for drawings?

[@adskFusion]

They're on the roadmap as 'backlog' at this time. See here: 15th)!app.mural.co/t/timerahart2/m/timerahart2/1475171276107/0945259b7c22117012173ea2be3c9151fec1f184 I will say more development work is focused on this workspace, so hopefully we'll see something sooner than later.

[@argentosebastian]

That's a good one

[@dewayneyoung6060]

this is great news. How about cables Wiring Harness and Pin boards is this possible?

[@adskFusion]

Hey there! This is not available within this tool. Its mainly for PCB layout and design.

[@pnechnetwork741]

Can you add more layers to 3D export? To create a board with milling. Now only the copper layer and mask layer are exported. If you add a stop layer or a cream layer for export, I can make a board with milling at home.

[@adskFusion]

ummmm....I'm gonna ask one of our experts to weigh in. :overmyhead:

[@adskFusion]

Answer from the expert: "At this time it only support 2 layers at the 3D export." From me...you can use modeling tools in Fusion 360 to hopefully get what you're after without too much trouble.

[@jeanb2206]

Congratulations for this great work ! Does Electronic module in Fusion360 have all the features included in Eagle ? Thanks

[@ismagine]

So we cannot get Eagle as standalone software anymore??

[@adskFusion]

Hi ismagine, Fusion 360 commercial license include EAGLE for free.

[@ismagine]

Autodesk Fusion 360 ok, so do I now have to pay $495 for one year subscription instead of $100 I payed a year ago for Eagle ?

[@argentosebastian]

Wow!! Fusion is getting better every day (just like me) I hope to see some video tutorials for this new feature.

[@adskFusion]

Here's 🍻 to getting better every day!

[@scientist100]

You guys are working hard on these things, please keep doing this, most of the time new features outweigh the benefits of using new features that contains bugs. Small companies and those companies that do not design often and do not need the robustness of Inventor (though I feel like inventor is more difficult to use) will have full capabilities using F360; this is great.

[@adskFusion]

Thanks! We'll try to keep 🐜 's to a minimum.

[@TheSolderingGuy007]

Is the electronics design feature same as Eagle ? Would this make it possible to import eagle sch/brd files directly in fusion 360 now ?

[@colintaylor1629]

It IS Eagle. So any existing designs you have from Eagle can be used directly in Fusion now.

[@TheSolderingGuy007]

@@colintaylor1629 Very nice ! Any hopes for Linux support in near future (not wine/vm based) ?

[@adskFusion]

It's not 100% Eagle, but yes there are quite a lot of capabilities when it comes to moving from one to the other!

[@SebastiaanSwinkels]

What sort of limitations are there in this implementation of Eagle? Is the Personal or Startup subscription going to be limited in board size, layers, number of components etc? I'm willing to keep an open mind about switching from KiCAD to this implementation but only if that doesn't impose any sort of design limitations.

[@adskFusion]

It's a good time to consider changing, Fusion 360 is 40% off right now! autode.sk/2UvfzRh Per the limitations question, I think these details will help clear that up: help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=ECD-FEATURES

[@SebastiaanSwinkels]

@@adskFusion I've been turned down for the startup plan for whatever reason despite clearly meeting all the criteria. I've appealed the decision via the link in the email provided months ago and still haven't heard back. What would be my next logical step?

[@adskFusion]

Okay, I have some more details now regarding personal and startup. The personal license does impose a design restriction. It limits the schematic editor to 2 schematic sheets and the board editor is restricted to 2 signal layers and a maximum board size of 80cm^2. The startup license has NO restrictions.

[@SebastiaanSwinkels]

@@adskFusion So basically the Personal license has the same limitations the free tier of Eagle has/had. Any suggestions on how to get my startup license renewed? I clearly meet all the requirements.

[@adskFusion]

So the requirements did change a little while back...that may be affecting you. Anyway, check this discussion as it might help you figure out what happened or what to try next: forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/you-can-t-get-a-startup-license/td-p/9110806

[@mmcristi1981]

This is fantastic! Any plans to support generating g-code for milling pcb's directly? I think this would be great for prototyping simple single/double layer boards.

[@adskFusion]

This is the second time I've got this question! I have an answer from our expert: "G-code will be possible in the near future as the 3D pcb does treat every aspect of the board independently."

Excited about this. But I'm trying to do a simple design using an ESP 32. But it doesn't exist in the library? How can it be imported. I'm sure Eagle has various ESP32 "Wroom". This is great, But we need some tutorials, please.

[@adskFusion]

Asking for some help from our SME.

[@adskFusion]

Hey there, I was actually poking around and found more than 600 different libraries to add from the library manager. Go to Library > Open Library Manager > select the available tab...select the library or libraries to add, and then select "Use". Even adding all 600 only took about 5 minutes but then I had WAY more componentry. And here are more details in the documentation: help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=PCB-MANAGE-LIBRARIES

@@adskFusion I haven't been using F360 as I've had other projects (ie refreshing eng. theory) and wasn't even aware I didn't have the latest update/new distribution process. A little confusion there when I couldn't find the electronics functions, but that's now been sorted with a re-load/update. I note the licensing structure has changed, but remains very fair and reasonable as people grow and become commercial customers. It's unique and a credit to Autodesk to invest in their future customers, as many of us may or may not make it through to that end; but definitely trying! Massive thank you for that business model. I think the only remaining gap to plug is a software IDE (Arduino in my case) and emulator for F360 to become a single platform solution from concept to manufacture.

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

Honestly, THE ONLY REASON, I run Windows 10 is because of Fusion 360. It would be nice if you added Linux capability by way of using the "APPImage" distribution software. It is a way to distribute your software to ALL versions of Linux at one time. Your AppImage software runs outside the main folders of Linux independently. It would be Huge for the design world as many people use all sorts of Linux. You could have the corner on the market without having to have a browser based service. I'm not sure what would be more cost effective though. It's just a thought.

[@adskFusion]

Ohhhhh we've definitely heard this before. I hope someday we can make a Linux version, BUT, to be totally honest, I don't think that's being worked on or considered at this time.

It won't slow anything down...apart from install and update durations. Other than that it shouldn't get in the way if you don't choose to use it.

I really hope that autodesk will take their talent and build a PCB making tool using user research as its driver.

Nightmare for HW Designers and PCB Layouters

[@adskFusion]

Do you mean because MCAD folk can make changes? If that's the worry, always know that version control can bail you out, and I'm sure there are ways you can lock them out of making changes (export PCB 3d with the link to PCB broken)?

Damn

[@adskFusion]

In a good way?

@@adskFusion this update is amazing !

[@emilsm1962]

Fusion now is crazzy expensive for home user - dont use this software.

[@adskFusion]

Isn't it free for personal users? www.autodesk.com/campaigns/fusion-360-for-hobbyists Are you aware of this?

@@adskFusion Home != Hobbyist != Non-commercial unfortunately. The previous license you had based on business income was exactly the right way to go, to name a few points, it lets businesses start, designers self-train, non-profit organisations benefit, including hackspaces (a major point itself; at mine I've gotten basically everyone hooked on fusion), and cost/risk free testing of fusion, all of which lead to later product uptake where demand would not have otherwise existed. Obviously you couldn't police business income, which I appreciate the suits would dislike when they run 'lost income' projections based on statistics instead of reality, but nor can you police hobbyist self declaration. Ultimately if people want to 'steal' fusion (or inventor etc) they will, by putting a barrier up you have actually scored a monumental own goal, with significant but delayed effects on your market penetration and 'user evangelism'. That goes back to hackspaces a bit actually, as now some people have to use alternatives for certain projects which have compensated aspects, say a prop commission, and that's sending them questing for other products and workflows. Then the next question they hit as they naturally grow that aspect of their hackery is do they maintain two skill sets, or just use the open source stuff etc? Whereas with a sane business income threshold, that question never occurs until they're utterly invested and familiar with Fusion and deeply unlikely to change workflows. If they're lucky enough to grow a serious business out of it, they and their employees would naturally maintain that use of fusion & far more likely to then add in other Autodesk products, especially as I expect fusion will only integrate more as time goes on.

Will Fusion 360 web version be improved, also?

[@adskFusion]

At this time I don't think that's a priority for the development team, unfortunately.
