Startups can't, and there's no "hobbyist" license with free or discount cloud credits. Educational users have free cloud credits, so I presume they can use the extension. You can't buy cloud credits if you don't have a commercial license. They're putting features that before would have been in the base package into a "manufacturing extension" that will require "cloud credits" to license per month. They think that only students in college are "educational" users learning CAD/CAM. It feels a lot like they've hired a new management team in sales and that team is applying the standard 1990s business school playbook to increasing revenue from Fusion 360 - subscriptions per seat per year, cloud pricing with no alternative, tiered software with commonly desired features at a tier above what a hobbyist can pay.īasically, they're setting up to increase revenue based on an imagined view of the users of the software - they seem to think we're all either home hobbyists with clunky DIY mills or startups with VC funding, or larger companies for whom the costs are acceptable because they're still lower than the competition and CAD/CAM is supposed to be expensive, anyway. It looks like Autodesk is taking a step backward, now that Fusion 360 is getting more mature (relative term). I hope this Quick Tip helps make your transition to Fusion 360 a smooth one, and keep modeling! Check out this help guide for a full tutorial on setting and adjusting your Fusion 360 preferences.Bit of a rant here, hopefully I have my math and facts correct. Zoom to box: Ctrl + Shift + middle mouse button (Windows) or Command + Shift + middle mouse button (MacOS).Note: The PowerMill preset uses its own Default Orbit type. Pan: Ctrl + middle mouse button (Windows) or Command + middle mouse button (Mac).Zoom: roll the middle mouse button or Ctrl + Shift + middle mouse button.
Here’s a quick list of what these different short-cuts do: Fusion 360 Now, your Pan, Zoom, and Orbit tools will function like the program you are coming over to Fusion 360 from. Kudos to Autodesk for adopting a design mindset for this user experience. You can also select from the other options, including Inventor, Solidworks, Alias, and Tinkercad. From this drop-down, you have several program choices. From that drop-down menu, select Preferences.įrom the Preferences menu, on the main screen for General, select the drop-down menu from Pan, Zoom, Orbit Shortcuts. Simply head over to your name in the upper right-hand corner of the dashboard. Fusion 360 allows you to customize your orbit/pan settings to make your transition from products like Solidworks and Tinkercad easier. Ready to transition to Autodesk Fusion 360 from another CAD tool? Customizing your orbit/pan settings can go a long way in making your transition easier.Ĭustomizing orbit/pan settings is one of the first points I cover when teaching new users.
