Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory (www.autodesk.com)

The article is beyond wordy and hard to decipher but here my TL:DR. And please correct me if I miss understood something.

Currently Fusion 360 projects are stored in the cloud with "single storage". The default save location in Fusion 360.

Autodesk is moving to "Fusion Hub" since they boast it's better at collaboration and file management.

If you receive the email notifying you of Fusion Hub. You have approximately 30 days" to upgrade to Fusion Hub. Auto desk will allow you to "skip the process once", but will force you to upgrade after 24 hours.

Once you start the process of upgrading the "Single Storage" will be remove immediately or available for 30 days for collaborative files. So if you are collaborating with others, ensure to tell them or they will loose access to the project.

Shared links to existing projects will be broken after the upgrade.

My favorite FAQ:

What if I don’t want to upgrade my data to Fusion Hub?

Since we are supporting only one location to store data, you will be required to upgrade to Fusion Hub.

My solution to this was to back up all my projects so I have a local copy, and move to FreeCAD. I'm tired of Autodesk changing the deal every year or so.

Especially with freecad 1 just being released. Lots of great improvements and many tutorials are being created to show the new workflows

Does free cad have any cam functionality?

Yup

Interesting, I hadn't ever seen any discussion of cam side stuff in freecad, I might have to keep tabs on it a bit more. Looking at their wiki pages for the cam workbench it seems pretty far from adequate for my needs though.

Kind of sort of. It's seems to be OK for 2D CAM like routers or lasers. I wouldn't want to try even a barely complex multi axis part in a machining center.

Yeah, looking at the wiki page for the cam workbench seems like it could probably handle VMC work, but even basic turning didn't sound super well supported, let alone any kind of mill/turn or multi axis work.

This is the way.
