AFAIK, you have to take a “shape binder” object that takes a copy(Linked to the original so it updates itself) and brings the geometry it’s bound to into the second part. Where it gets a bit hassleful is when you want multiple parts/bodies/etc in a design that reference each other. I think there’s a spreadsheet function and you might even be able to take values from the sheet and use them in constraints. The sketches are fully parametric constraint solver based things. As far as I can tell the workflow is to start with a 2D sketch in a body in the part designer, pad it to a thickness, and then to draw more 2D sketches on the faces and pad those(Or loft or pocket, etc). The Realthunder assembl圓 fork however is pretty good. Vanilla FreeCad is currently terrible for parametric, because going back and changing something breaks the whole chain of operations. I’ve even got my 3dConnexion spacemouse working in Blender in Ubuntu, moving about with one hand and manipulating things with the other…very intuitive :-) At least Blender and openscad work nicely at home in linux. My interest is in personal non-academic hobby use and there seems to be little or no accomodation for that.

As for Fusion 360, its probably too pricey for me no matter what operating system I use.

Regardless, like television, Windows is dying and those who want to continue to write relevant software need to start coding in operating systems that still have a heartbeat and the linux heartbeat is the strongest out there. We’d sooner try wine or even emulation, both of which are also lame compared to native linux installation. There is usually multitasking going on and closing out of Linux and starting Windows just to run a single windows app for a while and then closing Windows just to get back home to Linux would be a serious pain in the donkey. Not a practical option for many Linux users.

If time zones have got you down, we have a handy time zone converter.Ĭlick that speech bubble to the right, and you’ll be taken directly to the Hack Chat group on Hackaday.io. This week we’ll be sitting down on Wednesday, April 10, at noon, Pacific time. Our Hack Chats are live community events in the Hackaday.io Hack Chat group messaging. You can do that by leaving a comment on the Autodesk Fusion 360 Hack Chat page and we’ll put that in the queue for the Hack Chat discussion.

You are, of course, encouraged to add your own questions to the discussion. Will there ever be “one design tool to rule them all?”.Support for manufacturing, including additive, CNC, and even mold making.Future plans for an EAGLE-Fusion integration.

All the Autodesk design software components, from EAGLE to Fusion and beyond.

He’ll drop by the Hack Chat this week to discuss your questions about:

Matt, who goes by technolomaniac on Hackaday.io, is Director of Product Development for EAGLE, Tinkercad, and Fusion 360 at Autodesk. Everyone from casual designers of 3D-printed widgets to commercial CNC machine shops use it as an end to end design solution, and anyone who has used it over the last year or so knows that the feature set in Fusion is expanding rapidly. But if you were asked to name one tool that stretches across all these spaces, Autodesk Fusion 360 would certainly spring to mind. Most of us have a collection of tools that we use for the various mechanical, electronic, and manufacturing tasks we face daily. Join us Wednesday at noon Pacific time for the Autodesk Fusion 360 Hack Chat!
