    I only use Fusion 360 for my own personal 3D printing projects. The new restrictions will make it too much hassle to use. It's a shame, I'd be willing to pay a small fee to keep just the solid design space, STL or better still 3mf export and unlimited files but as a hobbyist, I simply can't justify the full price for tools I'll never use so I'll find an alternative.

    Great to have you back! As a hobbyist user I get a lot out of your videos. But I think it is a PR mistake to skip over the changes to the Personal Use license functionality. I know this situation not your fault, but some PR management is required on this and you have the audience and personality to handle it. Your followers need to know AD understands why we are upset and that we are confused as to why other solutions to this issue cannot be found.

    My thoughts on the changes from Autodesk:
    As a software engineer/architect (former, on long term disability), I fully understand the cost of developing advanced software packages. And I understand what they are trying to do. And why.
    That doesn't mean that some restrictions (Exporting to the STEP file format for example) are a bit too much.
    This is very common format for hobbyists to share files with each other.
    The restriction of active files seems odd if you can just deactivate/reactivate as needed, but I guess it will slow down the workflow for "professional-hobbyists" (my term - those who should be paying), so that one might make sense after all.
    Personally I tinker on many small things at once. I also break my projects into separate files, so probably just need to update my workflow to fit the new model.
    To those who are saying that everyone should just pay up and buy the full license, consider that not everyone has the funds (as a hobbyist) to afford that expense. The cost step from free to full on commercial is far too steep.
    AutoDesk should consider a separate cost tiers for the hobbyist who wants more features, but isn't making money off of it:
    - Free
    + What they offer in the new plan
    + All imports (why restrict moving to Fusion?)
    - Hobbyist
    + Increased project/file limits
    + Cloud computing with credits
    - Prosumer
    + Extensions
    + Some Simulations
    + Collaboration
    - Professional / Commercial
    + All Features
    This would allow everyone to pick a level based upon their needs as opposed to an on/off switch with a massive hit the the bank account.
    Not everyone can afford the commercial license, but they are also not all against contributing to what they are getting.
    === End Original ===
    I'm hoping Lars sees this and can kick some ideas up the chain at Autodesk. Hobbyists are not opposed to paying for Fusion. They are opposed to paying for full commercial licenses.

    @missamo80 4 роки тому +14

    Thanks for another great overview Lars!
    Please take a moment to talk some sense into the people at Autodesk pushing out the changes to the free version of Fusion360. The list of features they're pulling from the hobbyist version guts it and leaves no option other than paying $279/yr (at 40% off!) to get basic things like STEP export, a staple of the open source 3D printing community.
    A subscription offering for a more reasonable fee, similar to Adobe's Photographers subscription, would ease the sting and enable people using the great Fusion360 features for personal projects to pay a bit to help support the development and gain access to important features without having to jump all the way to the super-fancy pro version with a price to match.

      I have been learning fusion for not only my hobby use but in the hopes of one day starting a home business. Would of course pay for a commercial license then. There is no way I could afford to pay for it now. Maybe I could find a cheap online class to qualify for an educational license... get more for the money I would have to borrow. I suppose this should be good for open source cad development as many programmers will be losing the free option that meant they had no reason to work on anything.

    My last project I worked on has probably 50 drawings all linked into the master one, how is that supposed to work with only being able to have 10 active projects?
    I'm exporting all my files and looking for alternatives before Oct 1st while this shakes out. I'd rather have a less featured product I can count on than one that may be taken away.

    I love fusion, love your videos, but i cannot believe that as a Maker I will have to throw everything I learned out the window, because of a licensing policy. I will have to revert to another software. The makerspace I evolve in does not have any money to spend on software licences. I am very disappointed that Autodesk is leaving the maker community. over the last 3 years the community has contributed in making this software to what it is now, by reporting bug and feature requirements and now that it has reached a comfortable level, this is what happens.

    Unfortunately Autodesk today confirmed that it wants to increasingly distance itself from the public it has conquered in recent years with the promise of being free forever for small businesses or hobbyists.
    I even understand that more advanced options are not available in the free version, but removing the option to export to STEP files seems to me stingy.

      MCTheTrash just because it’s free doesn’t mean we can’t have complaints about it. They don’t let people use if for free out of the goodness of their hearts. It’s marketing for them. Gets the word out among hobbyist who recommend it to others. Eventually some of those people go on to be professionals that use it in their workplace. Some hobbyists have provided a scripts to integrate with fusion. We test features. We give feedback and suggestions. All of these things are valuable to the company. Ultimately it’s their choice how to license their product. And we are also free to criticize them for their choices and seek alternatives.

    Thanks Lars, appreciated the insight into perhaps starting with surfaces if the endgame is a more asthetic consumer item with complex curvature on the outside surfaces. I find the body modelling great for straight mechanical designs but have come unstuck trying to get the final product looking good with fillets etc. Could you suggest some ideas on a workflow for combining the required "mechanical" aspects of a design with a good looking surface/shape from the "Form" workspace.

    I tried it for the first time and it's quite useful. However, the feature needs a bit of refining to make it easier to work with. Forms are much the same as faces, splines, and vertexes inside of a 3D mesh modeller (3DMax/Maya/etc) which give you a spline, face, and a vertex with their own set of modifiers, such as the ability to convert the points/vertexes into bezier and then use the handles to adjust the curvature/angle of each spline intersection... and the ability to just click and drag vertexes, splines, and faces into position, without having to use a Move/Copy widget. Throw those features in and I may just consider getting back into mesh modelling, using F360.

The only people this is hurting now are the people that will NEVER have paid Autodesk a single cent....and gauging by the whining and moaning they never intended on paying them in the future.

    So glad you're back on the F360 instruction team. I stopped using the program when you left and the interface went through its big makeover. I literately lost all my confidence to use any of the tools / commands. Have to start all over again, but you make it easy to learn. Thanks to your early instruction skills, I was actually capable of designing a few things from scratch. Not great, but a few basic components. Then the update / upgrade came and I just felt lost.
    Reading other comments regarding new licensing plans, I am not surprised many are complaining. A multi-tens of millions dollar platform and the overwhelming comment is thinking it should have remained free. That's completely unworkable. Makers - this isn't Facebook or Twitter. It's a real CAD program with millions of lines of code. What do you want? Advertising popping up as you work on your CAD design ?
    While the pricing appears to be steep and to be honest, for the average hobbyist or amateur makers, its not going to be fun anymore. I think they could revisit this depending on the demand and cost to support the small business developer is a different category than makers.
    But - let us be real too. There are thousands of makers out there that are making good money making CAD design models, prototypes, etc and selling them. The cost of the monthly subscription isn't going to break the bank. If it was, then you might as well start yelling that your computer's electricity should be free. That your 3D Printer filament should be free, blah blah blah. Don't blame Autodesk. This software is based on the some serious performance capabilities that engineers have to rely upon. And all of us get access to this potential.
    And if you really need to get serious, F360 is simply going to be your stepping stone to AutoDesk's top of the line platform.
    I have to smile a little bit when many say they are jumping ship to Sketch Up that's free. That's fine - but it too has limitations and restrictions. So who is fooling who? I'm just a CAD enthusiast and part-time user that likes to have good access to a high performance platform that can export my designs to a small CNC machine (HAAS TM-1 / 2) provider or to my own 3 D Printer (PLA / ABS) to prototype it or CNC Tube bender (race car chassis) that I can make a few replacement parts. If I have to spend $387 CAD per year for it, that seems like a small price compared to the alternative. Seriously, how much money do you spend on buying beer or wine every year.
    Getting free CAD lessons from Lars is a bargain for a monthly subscription if you ask me. Use the free personal version to start and get comfortable using it and when I'm ready to really design a replacement part or make a prototype, I'll splurge on a $34 CAD (promo atm) per month subscription, which is cheaper than a dozen premium bottles of beer.
    The only thing I ask of Autodesk :-----> keep Lars with Fusion 360 team. I bet Lars is the main reason many small business and maker community users have become attached to Fusion 360.
    I would suggest that some product features be made available as standalone features for those that want a 'stripped' down version at a lower cost. i.e make sheet metal or tubing or the PCB electronics as add - on features instead of combining all of them into a standard baseline subscription price. And then maybe offer basic or advanced CNC services on top of the 3 Axis vs 5 axis or advanced CNC programming, etc. I also think once a user creates a design, the product files should be downloadable and kept by the author. It is after all, their proprietary work. Autodesk should not just automatically delete them. In some countries, this action by AutoDesk may be illegal.
    Just my two cents.

    Lars you may as well concentrate your efforts on advanced users because the new restrictions on hobby use will kill your audience base. Like Crack dealers they offer you something for free and then get you so deep in you have to start paying for more just to get a little buzz. Very disappointed in the changes, especially as the pandemic limits what we can do these days. Greed has killed many a business, and sent many crack dealers to jail where they belong. I completed a survey about my use as a hobbyist and then they tried to get me to help the development team as a volunteer. I'm retired and I have over 30 years of CAD experience, never made a dime off of Fusion but now all I've created for me is a dead end. Greedy.... Autodesk you are shooting yourself in the foot, please shoot both and kill your future customer base while you make a few more temporary millions. Too many MBA's running an engineering company...
