It frankly isn’t surprising that any company would want to make money on a product they sell, that only seems fair. Since they’ve been made public, I have advocated for keeping as few changes that would degrade the use of Fusion 360 for personal users. That said, I had no prior review of these changes. We have full autonomy in any of our content with or about Fusion 360 as well. To be clear, Portland CNC’s relationship with Autodesk and Fusion 360 is simply that we are “influencers.” In exchange, we get the use of one commercial license as well as new feature previews from time to time, no other benefits, or financial gain. These are hard changes – I (Justin) started PDX CNC using the startup license of Fusion 360 and switched to commercial licensing when that made sense for us. There will be no limit on how many archived designs you choose to keep. This change won’t come into effect till January 19, 2021. When you need to edit another, you’ll have to “swap out” an active for an inactive file. First off, you’ll never lose access to your files, what it amounts to is you’ll only be able to actively use 10 documents at a time.
Best regards.One other item to highlight: 10 active and editable documents. However, rather than just being bitter I wanted to share some of the sentiment those of us in the maker communities are thinking and feeling. I am not ungrateful for the willingness of Autodesk to offer the personal license, and my post here is probably insignificant. If we abandon and invest the time to learn another software, process, and system, I doubt we will be back, and the loss of precious time invested will remain a sore spot.
In my case I imagined one day when I retire from professional life being able to justify a small business using what I am learning and relying on a paid version of Fusion 360 to facilitate that.
All of us are still learning, we have day jobs and dabble in 3d printing and CNC routing in fits and starts as life allows and support each other in communities. There a many of us and the discussion now is centered around life after Fusion 360 due to the new restrictions to the personal license. In my case I transitioned from Sketchup to learn Fusion 360, this is not a simple or easy transition, if not for the current capability of Fusion 360 I would have never bothered. I am a maker and a part of a large maker community. I read through the answers in the link above. I am a little embarrassed but I believe in open communication so I posted the following in the Autodesk Fusion 360 forums.
