People are producing tutorials at no costs. RE: PSA: Fusion360 free getting a major you post it directly under my post without reference but still getting personal “you”, I assume you’re talking about me.įirst of all free license is for a business purpose reason there. You've had it good for a long time, for free, and it's still free and it still does 99% of what the paid for version does. If you can't accept it or have been using the free license dishonestly, then it probably is best you move on but stop griping about it.

There is a simple plug-in for Fusion 360 that will allow you to export all of you designs to STEP in one go and it will even build the same folder structure for you so you can keep your Project containers. If you're nervous, keep regular STEP backups of your designs. There is nothing else that the changes to the free license is really limiting a GENUINE hobbyist user from doing. You can archive and bring out of archive as many designs as you like as much as you like. They are not reducing how many designs you can have. It's like zipping files to reduce their size. By limiting the number of active designs to 10 allows them to compress (archive) the data that is not active.

The number of terabytes of data they are storing would blow your mind.Ī big part of what they are doing is trying to reduce disk consumption. To house unlimited designs to an unlimited number of people along with a commercial grade parametric 3D CAD application for free is a massive gift to the community. The cost of running the infrastructure for this software is enormous and this is before you take into account to costs of R&D and maintenance. My background is in cloud computing and managing data centres. RE: PSA: Fusion360 free getting a major nerf
