Fusion 360 extremely long to startup and only works in offline mode

[sparkbuzz]

I'm using Autodesk Fusion 360 v2.0.1193, and since tonight, Fusion takes around 5-8 minutes to start up. When it eventually does, it only runs in offline mode?

I've tried restarting the application, restarted my Mac? Any ideas what could be wrong?

I think I need to reinstall, but worried I will lose a lot of changes to my design. I've been working in offline mode yesterday, so did a lot of changes to my model which I assume will be lost if I do a clean install.

I'm trying to recover with time machine on Mac, specifically the ~/Library.../Application Support folder which seems to work, but I lose my changes.

Where are the offline models saved so I can try to exclude that from my time machine restore?

While in offline mode, you may use the export archive command to create a *F3D file that is stored on your local hard drive:

1. Open Fusion 360 (Offline Mode is okay)

2. Open the design

3. In the main menu, select Export Archive

4. Save the *.F3D file on your local hard drive.

5. Back-up the archive file to a safe location

For the connectivity issue, is there anything different on your network that would prevent Fusion 360 from accessing the web (e.g. a new router, updated security software/anti-virus)? Are you currently able to access the internet on that machine?

Thanks,
