No matter how big or small, one thing remained constant: Not once did I see a case where a company&#8217;s vendors, contractors, and customers used the same CAD tools. In large companies, this can even be the case from team to team! Trying to get everyone you work with on the same application is like herding cats, but I have the perfect solution for you: AnyCAD.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/support\/technical\/article\/caas\/sfdcarticles\/sfdcarticles\/How-to-use-AnyCAD-functionality-in-Fusion-360.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AnyCAD functionality in Fusion<\/a><\/span> provides the ability to link to vendor, contractor, and customer data, negating the translation of their data into Fusion. For example, you can use AnyCAD to reference a SolidWorks part designed by a contractor. Once the file is in Fusion, there is a link feature in the timeline. Now, you can add parametric features in time that will rebuild when the original SolidWorks part changes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.jpg\" alt=\"AnyCAD Reference Autodesk Fusion timeline\" class=\"wp-image-77577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-768x225.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But AnyCAD isn\u2019t just about modeling more features on your SolidWorks geometry; it\u2019s about the complete product development process.

There were a variety of reasons for this, but here are a few:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A degree in cryptography was required to navigate the icons, menus, and results.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The required computer hardware filled a small room.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simulation software is expensive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CAD vendors noticed these trends and started to make some much-needed changes. First, CAD vendors added simulation tools to their offering. Unfortunately, these were \u201clightweight\u201d versions of their more expensive big brothers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engineering problems are getting increasingly complex, which requires advanced tools and solvers to validate. So, maybe you\u2019re one of the few lucky ones who had access to SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, or Simulia. However, those tools can run in the tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the package. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fusion<\/a> gives you the tools to solve engineering problems that require thermal, nonlinear, shape optimization, and so much more. Not only do you have access to a variety of study types, but you can leverage the cloud to solve your complex simulation studies. The cloud enables you to offload time-consuming studies from your feeble laptop. On top of that, you can run different design ideas or different simulation scenarios in parallel to ensure you get to the best decision sooner. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try that on your desktop simulation tool. Typically, that would require a fancy server farm to offload the simulation. \u00a0The best part? Any changes to your SolidWorks geometry will automatically be updated in Fusion, leaving your simulation setup intact, so all you have to do is re-run the simulation. Hint: Cloud Solve again. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"AnyCAD simulation\" class=\"wp-image-77583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-2-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manufacturing\"><b>Manufacturing<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve never been a great machinist, so I\u2019ve been lucky enough to rely on my machinist friends to help keep me honest. One of my machinists used to throw a fit if I used an internal fillet on my design and didn\u2019t apply a 5-10% increase to the radius to account for tolerances. Making the radius to the exact size of his tool would still require him to use a smaller tool. Smaller tools equal a longer machining time. He used to always say, \u201cThe Devil&#8217;s in the details, and we are in the details business.\u201d The conversations between the person engineering the part and the person making the part are essential to decreasing production time and cost.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fusion has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/integrated-cad-cam-software-benefits-2\/\">integrated CAM<\/a> to fuse the workflow from design to CAM, but a CAM programmer will see file types from almost every CAD package. Almost immediately after my machinist finally finished programming my part, I had to give him some terrible news. The customer needed to make changes to the design, which was made in SolidWorks. Of course, Fusion can translate 25+ different file formats, but translation is where you might expect things to break down. Once the translation occurs, the link to the original part is broken, right? Wrong! Yes, the CAM toolpaths will update when your SolidWorks data is updated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cloud-storage\"><b>Cloud storage <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last and most importantly, you store your SolidWorks data in the cloud. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve needed to send a file to a customer, make a design change, or simply measure the distance between two holes. This always seemed to happen when I was miles away from my work computer, and accessing the servers remotely often requires complex security protocols. With Fusion\u2019s cloud data, you can log in to a web browser to view, collaborate, manage, and even modify your CAD data. There&#8217;s no server installation needed; it just works the first time you sign in. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fusion will even automatically version control your SolidWorks data in the cloud. When you save your SolidWorks data into Autodesk, your SolidWorks data will automatically be synced to the cloud. As your SolidWorks files change, versions will be created in the cloud. Teams can comment, redline, and mark up different versions to produce an auditable trail of design decisions throughout the product development process. Typically, this is a conversation that happens between multiple team members&#8217; email boxes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update-1024x634.jpg\" alt=\"AnyCAD cloud storage\" class=\"wp-image-77588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update-1536x950.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DataImage-Update.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"try-anycad-today\"><b>Try AnyCAD today<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t gathered the general theme of this article by this point, here it is: with AnyCAD, changes to your SolidWorks geometry will update in Fusion seamlessly. Now you can avoid the high upfront license cost and maintenance fees for simulation and CAM packages, but those are just a few benefits of Fusion. I didn\u2019t have time to mention the different modeling techniques (Freeform, Parametric, Direct, Sheetmetal, Surface, and Mesh), additive tools, works on Mac, mobile applications, continuous product updates, free online learning, manufacturing network, and so much more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh yeah!
