You spent all of your resources (your time, because this is all most people have), to learn how to use it and integrate it into your portfolio, and now Autodesk can demand literally anything they want.

When you install Fusion they offer you a carrot, the software, you take it, and you learn to like carrots, then they take it away unless you jump through a hoop. Stealing resources from indigenous people, then leveraging those resources to enslave the population in a pseudo democracy. It’s a side effect of “we have the resources because we stole them from others” which is exactly what America is based upon. That’s not how a lopsided dystopia works. Sure, go ahead and buy yourself a lawyer that’s willing to try and change that contract in order to better the deal for those on the other side, see how far you get. The “cash” you speak of as a bargaining chip, is bull crap. When a contract cannot be negotiated, it’s not a real contract. The fundamental difference that the replies here seem to forget is that NOBODY ASKED AUTODESK TO STORE THEIR DESIGNS. In any hostage situation the ones that hold the hostages are the bad guys. These greedy bastards abused my trust by use of legalese, so I’m exercising my right as a victim to call them, what they are: greedy terrorists holding my data hostage, shielded behind legalese shield created by some lawyers.

This is the way businesses usually operate…Īutodesk, on the other hand, decided to use loopholes in the agreement I signed with them by signing up for F360 license to screw me over, limit the software and try to get money from me. I don’t expect the company to suddenly charge me more for it before the agreement reaches its end date. I was informed in advance that I’ll be spending a fixed amount of money for fixed amount of space and services. I paid the company that holds my data for the services they provide with their servers and people tending to them. No one can take your dreams from you then. You can always load an older version of many softwares if you don’t like changes.

once you learn something that’s free and open source nobody will be able to take your designs from you at a whim. Hell, even Blender or OpenSCAD for modeling. If you are an intelligent person reading this, whoever you are- just explore FOSS like FreeCAD and LinuxCNC. When people aren’t paying attention they will try this again at some point or something else.

their business model as CAD/CAM crack dealers hasn’t changed.

People noticed and I guarantee you a lot of people realize that if they did this once they can do it again and they probably will do it again or worse. The only reason they backtracked any at all is because there had to have been a lot of backlash judging by the post count from the original coverage of this on hack a day alone- it had one of the highest comment counts on an article I’ve ever seen. You really think this will keep people from seeing inevitability? Posted in News, Slider Tagged autodesk, cad, cam, export, Fusion 360, hobbyist, license, Personal, step Post navigation So while Fusion 360 personal use licensees will still have STEP files, the loss of other export file formats like IGES and SAT are still planned. While this is great news, bear in mind that the other changes to the personal use license are still scheduled to go into effect on October 1, while the planned change to limit the number of active projects will go into effect in January 2021. Autodesk summed up the situation succinctly in their announcement, stating that the reversal was due to “unintended consequences for the hobbyist community.” But the loss of certain export formats, most notably STEP files, was a bone of contention and the topic of heated discussion in the makerverse. Most of the changes, like the elimination of simulations, rolling back of some CAM features, and removal of generative design tools didn’t amount to major workflow disruptions for many hobbyists who have embraced the platform. Good news, Fusion 360 fans - Autodesk just announced that they won’t be removing support for STEP file exports for personal use licensees of the popular CAD/CAM platform after all.Īs we noted last week, Autodesk had announced major changes to the free-to-use license for Fusion 360.
