The program runs on your machine but saves all files to the cloud, meaning you can access them later on different machines. While 2017 has seen SolidWorks making a move towards Cloud storage capabilities, this has long been a standout feature of Fusion 360. The flexibility and comprehensive support network of Fusion 360 make it the clear winner in this category. While SolidWorks can be run on OS X via Windows emulators like Bootcamp or Parallels, it should be noted there is no customer support for these options. SolidWorks (understandably) have stated they would rather keep engineers focussed on developing their current product rather than split their resources to develop an Apple version. This is simply because Windows was the dominant operating system when it launched in 1995. SolidWorks on the other hand is designed specifically for Windows. Users have reported that it offers the exact same level of functionality on both systems, which is a great feature for collaborative design work. Many SolidWorks users have picked up Fusion 360 as a replacement: Are you considering making the jump? Here are some key differences to consider before you make the move.Īutodesk's Fusion 360 runs beautifully on both PC and Mac. In 2013, Autodesk introduced Fusion 360, shaking up the market by stealing many users away from the more engineering orientated SolidWorks.Ī cloud based and mac-friendly alternative, Fusion 360 reinterpreted a number of key design elements to produce software that can cover a wide range of uses, from basic sketches through to advanced technical design and prototyping.
SolidWorks has been around for decades, and is commonly used for CAD design across a wide array of industries.
Maybe my idea isn't the best but it seemed to me a very convienent and I would think quite simple way to bring F360 a little more integrated to the dektop and your local files.Autodesk's Fusion 360 is a great CAD 3D modelling tool with cloud storage, but how does it compare to its rival SolidWorks? This is a fact and one that many people have commented on and complained about in one way or another. I'm sorry if you don't like my idea and apparently can't seem to see how this is an inconvienence but it is not just a point of view that F360 being so far removed from your desktop is at times an inconvienence and a hindarence to workflow. It is also inconvienent to open them all up in some other viewer (or I would probably just use something like freecad) to find the file and then need to go back to F360 to upload the file you want to work with. A typical upload might take a few minutes but if I am navigating through archived folders on my desktop trying to find a particular model and open a folder that has 5 step models of various revisions it is kind of rediculous to need to upload all of them to view them in F360.
