      • Fusion 360 has changed their personal license subscription model
        • All of these went into effect on Oct 1
          • Project storage is limited to 10 active and editable documents
          • Exports are now limited to a small number of file types. Thankfully this still includes STL files but alas, DXF, DWG, PDF exports are all gone

          • 2D drawings can now only be single sheet, and can only be printed or plotted

          • CAM support has been drastically cut back: no more multi-axis milling, probing, automatic tool changes, or rapid feeds, but support for 2, 2.5, and 3 axis remains
          • All support for simulation, generative design, and custom extensions has been removed
          • Purchased a license and I am not looking back

              • Dont rely entirely on templates
