V.2.0.12670 (See the latest fixes here)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

March. The month home to March Madness, International Women\u2019s Day, St. Patrick\u2019s Day, and in this case, one of our biggest Fusion 360 product updates of the year. Think of it as our spring-cleaning update. There are lots of updates to cover, spanning from Cloud Credits becoming Flex Tokens, to new Drawings functionality, to a change in the Manufacture Workspace & Machining Extension, as well as a whole bunch of features graduating out of preview and becoming production-ready tools at your disposal.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This update is also by far the most comprehensive release yet for those of you using Fusion 360 Electronics, with more on the way. From a completely new Library & Component Search \/ Placement Experience to seamless Migration of EAGLE content, huge improvements in Design Reuse with Design Blocks and Inserting the Contents of a Schematic into another file, new 3D Package Generators, and a much faster overall 3D PCB experience — we have been hard at work, and this is only the beginning of an unprecedented level of stability, performance & productivity-enhancing features to come. With that said, let\u2019s go over the highlights.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

NOTICE: We\u2019re replacing Cloud Credits to Flex tokens<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this product update, we are in the process of replacing Cloud Credits to Autodesk Flex tokens. Don\u2019t worry, if you currently have Cloud Credits associated with your account or have recently purchased Cloud Credits, you will still be able to use them on tasks like Generative Design solves, Simulation solves, and cloud rendering jobs. The only difference now is that you can no longer purchase additional Cloud Credits. Instead, you can buy Flex tokens moving forward and use both types of digital currency during this transitional timeframe.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk Flex is a new pay-as-you-go subscription service like Cloud Credits, but it has one major advantage: flexibility. Flex tokens are being adopted by many of our other Autodesk products, including Inventor, AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, Maya, and many more. Not only are you able to spend Flex tokens on specific in-product functionality, but you\u2019re also now able to spend it on the products themselves, and at a rate that makes for you and your team.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair issues without Uninstalling Fusion 360 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fusion 360 now comes with a it’s own brand-new Service Utility. A common (yet many times unnecessary and troublesome) way of fixing an issue in Fusion 360 we see many of you follow is to un-install Fusion 360, run the Clean Uninstaller, and then re-install to see if continue working. While this method has worked in the past, it was counter-productive and time-consuming. The fact that you had to download a separate clean uninstaller was also clunky. With this Service Utility, you\u2019ll be able to repair reset, or uninstall (if you really have to) Fusion 360, as well as gather system info, perform a network diagnostics test, or contact support. There are 2 ways the Service Utility can be invoked:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
