Welcome to our Fusion 360 Electronics discussion group. Experts and specialists will be taking care of your questions, comments, and providing you insightful suggestions to optimize your design time. We will keep you informed with the latest update details. Follow this link to review Keqing latest Fusion 360 update blog.

The natural progression of any successfully designed consumer product requires the ingenuity of multiple disciplines of engineering. Electromechanical workflows consisted of continued file conversions, email, and a phone call to make sure all team members are aligned. This error infested workflow ends today with Fusion 360 Electronics. By adding the electronics workspace to the already world renown best mechanical CAD collaborative tool in the industry, designers no longer will rely on guest work sprinkled with luck.

The several workflow options and collaborative capabilities of Fusion 360 will exponentially reduce your design time with the assurance that everyone, mechanical and electronics, is working on the same revision.

Visit our latest documentation and tutorial pages to get you started on your electronic design as soon as possible.

A collection of overview videos and tutorial is currently available on our electronic CAD portal.

We'd also love to get your feedback on a few topics that we're currently working on. Please follow these links and help us out in the Feedback Hub:

'Consumer product'? 😮

I am genuinely happy to see the start of this transition but the last thing I want is a consumer product. My family is counting on Autodesk every day along with my very particular and time sensitive commercial customers.

Let's see this transcend a consumer vision and arrive in a world of professionals.

I think he means consumer products designed with Fusion, not that Fusion itself is a consumer product.

lol! Yepper......I just re-read it.

Although I am still not sure why the focus on consumer products. I have used F360 and Eagle exclusively in commercial and aerospace design and manufacturing environments.

Hi @engineeringNCMXB,

I hope you're doing well. There has to be a focus on something, that way there is a story and vision that can be formed around Fusion360 and it's capabilities. Obviously, doesn't mean that's all it can do.

Best Regards,

What is the relationship between Fusion 360 Electronics and Eagle? If I have Eagle installed, can I simply delete it and use Fusion 360 Electronics? Would there be any reason not to delete Eagle?

Hi yaqoubdesign,

Thank you for participating in the Fusion 360 electronics forum. I wouldn't recommend uninstalling Autodesk EAGLE, my suggestion would be to begin using Fusion 360 as your primary tool for schematic and PCB. All the capabilities for a successful electronic design are available in Fusion 360. Upload some of your EAGLE designs in Fusion 360 and continue working on them in a platform that unifies Electronic and Mechanical CAD under one roof. Give yourself a little time to adapt to the new interface.

I hope this helps:

Ok, if I never installed Eagle, the PCB/schematic stuff will all work within Fusion 360. Got it.

Then why are you not calling it Eagle anymore, since it that's what's running under the hood ?
