Project storage is limited to 10 active and editable documents.The clear message from Autodesk is that Fusion 360 - the widely used suite of CAD and CAM software - will still offer a free-to-use non-commercial license for design and manufacturing work, with the inclusion of a few very big “buts” that may be deal-breakers for some people. That may be a reach, but judging by the reaction of the Fusion 360 community to the announced changes to the personal use license, they’re pretty much hating life right now.

So logically, it seems we’ve proved nobody likes life.

I've included a poll to see how you guys use the software.Change is inevitable, and a part of life. I personally find the current implementation totally counterproductive, and I can't imagine how it would make it work in a professional setting, let alone a multi-user one. It would be a lot better to Ctrl+S work locally and only commit a new version when the user feels the changes made warrant a new version. what am I supposed to type, "changed a dimension from 50 to 60 mm"? This results in the version history being littered with meaningless "User Saved" versions that are not real versions since their purpose was merely to avert data loss should the software crash.īuilt-in version control is great but the way it works ATM it is close to useless: 1) it discourages users from saving their work regularly for fear of cluttering the version history, which potentially increases the probability of data loss (a good system would encourage regular saving), 2) it is intrusive and interrupts the creative flow with a dialogue prompting users for a version description (most of us settle with the default "User Saved"), and 3) it clutters the version history, thereby making it hard to navigate as you have to sift through miles of "User Saved" versions. I generally just stick with the default version name because. Every time I hit Ctrl+S it forces me to create a new version.

One of my biggest pet peeves about F360 is its inability to save a working copy of the project locally.
