Pushing a new update is a lot like landing a plane…<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/P>

 <\/P>

…each one is unique and this one was no exception. As our QA team spent the weekend performing various tests on the final release candidate build, we were all anticipating the next product update to happen sometime Monday morning. Everything was prepped and ready to go; new learning content, new website designs, etc. When Sunday night rolled around, the team received an email from Bryan, our Build Manager, titled Important message about our pending release<\/EM>. This did not sound good. <\/FONT><\/P>

 <\/P>

And no, it didn’t. Little did we know, the server we were using to host our release candidate builds encountered a hard drive and a graphic card failure. This could lead to data corruption, data loss, which would be distratrous. But Bryan, being the rock star that he is, jumped on it and bolted straight to the office to fix the issue. Not only was he able to get the server up and running again, but he was also able to replace the defective graphic card with a new one and get access to back up builds. <\/FONT><\/P>

So with Bryan saving the day, we were back on schedule…or so we thought.  <\/FONT><\/P>

We originally planned for this update to go out on Monday, but due to an education-related event in Arlington, VA<\/FONT><\/A><\/FONT> that was going to showcase Fusion 360 to students and faculty, we decided to move the update out a couple of days to make sure that they were successful and that everything would run smoothly. That’s one of the perks of being cloud based; the ability to be flexible. For instance, even as of late last night, we were still making tweaks to the software to make sure that it was absolutely solid to go out.<\/FONT><\/P>

A few words from our team<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/P>

So now it’s out, and yeah – we were so excited about it that we decided to make a video. Get an personal sense of what some of our team members have to say as they talk about what went on throughout the week leading up to this release, as well as the features they are most excited about (Sorry about the background noise, I messed my mic settings during the filming)<\/EM>. <\/FONT><\/P>
