This doesn’t sound like an issue for those who use Fusion frequently, however you may want to find ways to get local files, just to be safe.

This is my biggest gripe with Fusion 360 after the literal dozens of minutes using it. Why can't I just save my projects locally?

I’ve personally switched over to FreeCAD, because of Autodesk signin policy (not this one, fusion kept signing me out forcing me to keep having to log back in). I am excitingly waiting for the next major FreeCAD release since the daily builds are looking extremely promising.

I tried freecad and my god I have never in my life used a less intuitive application. OpenSCAD is more intuitive and theres an entire scripting language you have to learn for it

I agree, though Daily appears to be much better. For the sable release I see it like GIMP to Photoshop

I'll put giving it another try on to do list then. Having something that has features parity to fusion without all the bs would be awesome
