  I’ve personally switched over to FreeCAD, because of Autodesk signin policy (not this one, fusion kept signing me out forcing me to keep having to log back in). I am excitingly waiting for the next major FreeCAD release since the daily builds are looking extremely promising.

    I tried freecad and my god I have never in my life used a less intuitive application. OpenSCAD is more intuitive and theres an entire scripting language you have to learn for it

      I agree, though Daily appears to be much better. For the sable release I see it like GIMP to Photoshop

        I’ll put giving it another try on to do list then. Having something that has features parity to fusion without all the bs would be awesome

  Why can’t I just save my projects locally?

  Because then you wouldn’t be Autodesk’s bitch, and Autodesk really wants you to be their bitch.

  Wait what?

  So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?

    You do. It’s just more tedious, and you may not get some of the collaborative history like component comments and the like.

  Pretty sure you can save them locally, it just required extra clicks every time, which is super annoying.

    Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.

    The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.

  But then there’s fewer reasons to beg you to subscribe.
