Can I get a raise of hands for Fusion 360 users out there that currently like the offline experience? Okay, I can\u2019t actually see you, but I\u2019m willing to guess that you find our current offline mode about as effective as me asking you to raise your hands in a blog. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This ineffective offline experience was exacerbated last month, when we had a serious\u00a0unplanned outage<\/span>. The overwhelming reaction of our users that day was that of frustration\u00a0(we hear you!) but the silver lining -as noted by longtime Fusion 360 user, <\/span>NYC CNC<\/a>–<\/span>\u00a0was that this will bring about positive change, and much-needed attention. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So let’s get to the positives, and explore\u00a0how we’re going to take steps to make\u00a0<\/span>offline mode a seamless extension of the Fusion 360 environment.\u00a0<\/span>As many of you highlighted, the data panel experience when offline is a bit of a pain. That because e<\/span>ven the most organized of hubs get mashed together and \u201csorted\u201d in unexplainable ways as soon as connection is lost. This makes it difficult to just find files, which makes their ‘cached’ status irrelevant. That’s why we’ve made this behavior one of the fi<\/span>rst thing we’ll address. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check out the QUICK TIP below, for a preview of how the next release will maintain project, folder, and file locations in the data panel:<\/span><\/p>\n
