I had some experience with 3D construction for visualization purposes, couple of years ago. Now I stepped into the field again for 3D printing, and after evaluating several options, I found fusion-360 to be the most intuitive and thought-through one.
Yes, fusion has some mesh handling capabilities. But they are not very robust, and you can't count on being able to complete a mesh project every time. And certainly not one of any size. If 3d printing and related mesh manipulation is something your going to do very much of, you need to learn some more software. I'm a fan of MeshMixer for many of these tasks, there are others.
I cant use fusion embedded with eagle theres to many bugs,so i have to use eagle standalone and fusion i first push the pcb to fusion then edit the board outline in fusion with some holes in a sketch when i try to extrude and cut through the pcb i get a error saying there is no objects to cut.How would i go about doing this?Thanks
My workflow has been to create the board outline and any mounting holes in F360, then create a 3D board from that and link it to the standalone Eagle, I then add any components and push/pull from Eagle. To make any changes to the board or add holes I go back into fusion, and edit the sketch, then click Finish Sketch after completing modifications.
When I use a different login I can get in, signing out and then back in as me still fails though and requires me to remove the folder again to get back to a login screen. There an issue with my login from having used the beta a little?
I seem to be experiencing a similar problem to the one Peter was having. I've recently installed Fusion 360 client on my Mac however it is stalled on the, "Hub is being configured" page. I've tried re-installing the client but it just went directly to the same page without even asking for any login details. I still have Inventor Fusion installed on my Mac, can it perhaps be a complication to do with that or is it a back end issue again?
So I ran through your list of suggestions and the only thing that really worked was deleting the "Webservices" folder in "Application Support" and relogging in as a different user. I created a new account just to try it out and it all seemed to setup up fine. However, as soon as I logged out and tried to sign back in with my original account it stalled on the hub configuration page right after authenticating my Id. I can log into the online community and into Autodesk 360 with my Id (the one I'm using to reply to this post) but Fusion 360 seems to be having problems with it. Also might be worth noting that I did not receive any confirmation email once I logged in to Fusion with my original Id, unlike when I created a new one for testing.
I apologize for the inconvenience with the hub creation. To clarify, the period is acceptable in the username. I've inquired with the product team to check for potential problems. If a problem is found, someone will hit the "reset" button. You may check back periodically; however, I will reply here once an update is available.
Autodesk Fusion is design, engineering, electronics, and manufacturing software, all-in-one. Connect your entire product development process into one cloud-based software with integrated 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB.
But with open and extensible tools, partnerships with industry leaders, and Fusion 360 defining what cloud-based product development software can do, Autodesk is solving those challenges in manufacturing and moving customers closer than ever to a click-to-make future. One with greater productivity, lower costs, and fewer environmental impacts.
The new plug-in enables designers to push a button within the Fusion 360 workspace and have Makersite instantly calculate the environmental and cost impacts of a product or component design based on its structure, materials, and weight.
Plus, he did mention that there will eventually be machine simulation added to fusion and they already have a manufacturing extension you can buy with various add ons like toolpath editing and what not. So once the ITAR thing is figured out, Fusion is going to hurt a lot of feelings in the software world.
I second this! We use Gibbs Cam right now and I'm trying to get my shop to change to Fusion. We deal with ITAR parts so I am not sure if i am going to be able to convince them if I cant at least come up with an efficient work-around.
The only work around we have so far is using HSMworks for us. Fusion is basically useless to us. Unfortunately HSMworks is missing some of the features Fusion has on the CNC side, but maybe one day they will update HSMworks. Is been the same for years it seems with little to no updates.
I may be missing something, but why can't fusion 360 just block data sync and allow local save only? You can work offline for a few weeks but have to connect to verify license and then data sync automatically happens. Given you can work offline means no actual computing power or data is needed, just literally a license check... "Stop the data sync!"
This page gives you access to standard posts for common CNCs and controls. The posts provided here are only compatible with our products Fusion, HSMWorks and Inventor CAM, and while we try to make the posts work on most CNCs out of the box, there are many factors that can cause a post to not be compatible with your particular setup. When you use a new post make sure to test it carefully as the post might not match your particular CNC configuration and requirements. It is your sole responsibility to make sure you use components that are compatible with your CNC.
I finally found what I needed. I don't understand why is a completely different place than And why cannot not access myhub anywhere in my account page, or the autodesk homepage. (I actually had to phone a friend to have them send me a link that I sent them a month ago, JUST to find "myhub". )
As someone who is an infrequent user of autodesk, I really feel the web pages for AutoDesk are VERY confusing.

From autodesk.com: Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD/CAM tool for product development that combines industrial and mechanical design, collaboration, and machining in a single package. Fusion 360 enables fast and easy exploration of design ideas with an integrated concept-to-production platform. It is available for free to students.
In the fall of 2019, Autodesk was preparing to build and release visual similarity search capability for the generative design technology in Fusion 360 using machine learning (ML). The Autodesk team partnered with AWS to use Amazon SageMaker Debugger to assess how it could improve the model training and debugging process. SageMaker Debugger provides complete insights into the training process of ML models by automating the capture and analysis of data from training runs in real time, with no code changes.
The trained visual similarity search model computes feature vectors, which you can then group by their distances or use to find a generative design outcome nearest neighbor. Similar generative design outcomes have similar feature vectors. Visual similarity search provides a categorical view of the design outcomes from generative design so you can pick the best design. The following screenshot shows an example of Fusion 360 with the visual similarity search model.
SageMaker Debugger provides default collections such as weights, biases, gradients, and losses. You can also easily define a custom collection by indicating a regular expression to include tensor names. For instance, if you want to include outputs of Relu activations, you can define the collection with the following code:
Autodesk used different hyperparameter values to assess which combination yielded the best results. Before SageMaker Debugger, Autodesk had to run multiple training jobs, each with a different set of hyperparameter values, and wait for these training jobs to complete before inspecting the results. With SageMaker Debugger, they could run multiple training jobs in parallel, set the built-in rules, and select the option to stop training when an alert is triggered. Autodesk saved time and money because training jobs terminated if a bad hyperparameter led the training job to not converge.
SageMaker Debugger comes with a set of built-in rules that detect the most common training issues, including vanishing and exploding gradients, neuron saturations, and more. These rules emit metrics to CloudWatch that indicate if there is an issue. You can set up a CloudWatch alarm and an AWS Lambda function to stop training jobs.
