Nobody in the world could force me to not agree with the above opinion.įusion is a complete disappointment. Hint, it's not on my premises under my control. There are too many quirks, things which don't work right, things which don't work at all, stability issues, oh and I am not looking forward to having the discussion with some of my clients about where their design data is stored. I'm going to persevere with it for internal development projects just to keep up to date with its progress with a view to switching if it becomes stable enough.īest been trying to convert from EAGLE to Fusion Electronics for professional work recently and I have come to the conclusion it's really not ready yet. For me it's a non-starter for designs I am doing for clients. Right now I am seeing way too many down sides for Fusion Electronics which aren't anywhere near compensated for by the upgraded/new features in Fusion Electronics which haven't been added back into EAGLE. I don't even need to use Managed Libraries as I have a work around to allow me to map STEP models to footprints held within regular EAGLE libs. The 3D modelling is available from within EAGLE though, I create 3D board versions for all my clients using the EAGLE->Fusion360 link.

I'm persevering with Fusion360, but only for designs where I need the 3D functionality (probably about 20% of my customers at this I can create 3D images of my PCB, which I can share with the mechanical design team (who are a separate organisation) and ensure there are no issues with my design fitting into the persevering with Fusion360, but only for designs where I need the 3D functionality (probably about 20% of my customers at this point) Some of my customers get nervous about this You need to get your head around the fact that all the files are cloud based, so managing your files is a different process from Eagle (where everything is normally on your local drive). You then spend days on these forums getting assistance to fix it. Things will work well for a few hours or days, then random things start breaking. I'm talking 30sec to a minute before you're ready to do anything. Having shared projects is actually quite a handy feature I can create 3D images of my PCB, which I can share with the mechanical design team (who are a separate organisation) and ensure there are no issues with my design fitting into the enclosure. I moved from Eagle 6.6.0 to Fusion360 and this is my summary of my experience to date: There's lots of new features in the integrated Fusion360 + Eagle that you may or may not use.
