AndyUK's Build - 1.2x1.0m Gantry

[Doddy]

Lee, the work auto desk have done is to integrate the eagle board design together with 3d models of components to post forward into F360 for correlation between electrical and mechanical design. Think of it as a 3D viewer for Eagle, but with obvious advantage for designing the mechanicals around the electrical design.

It’s neat when it works but a complete buggeration from a component library manager POV.

Unfortunately it doesn’t make schematic capture any better (though in fairness autodesk have developed Eagle more in the last couple of years than any of the previous owners)

Sorry!, Andy, thread hijack

Apologies, Lee - I think I understand where you was coming from. The latest update from AutoDesk for Fusion360 starts to integrate the functions, including schematic capture, from Eagle into the design editor. This is starting to make sense from the changes to the licensing introduced by AD recently - I'm guessing they're looking for convergence between F360 and Eagle - perhaps into a single product. Not sure I like this, and the integration at this time is a bit clumsy, but I'll hold my breath to see how this develops.
