Note: Mojave accessibility notification and what you should do about it

Hey everyone - if you’ve already updated to macOS Mojave and plan to run Fusion 360 on it, then you may run into this Accessibility message when you're using the software.

Unlike previous version of the macOS, Mojave now has updated security precautions, and it is capturing certain mouse events in Fusion 360 as accessibility requirements, and is asking you to grant it access.

 

Rest assured, there is nothing to be alarmed about. Fusion 360 isn’t trying to control your system in any way. 

We are also discovering that running other applications have also triggered the same dialog , yet clicking on either "Open System Preferences" or "Deny" has not affected Fusion 360's performance in any way. We will continue to test both scenarios. If you run into issues, please let us know here and we'll help you out.

I clicked "deny" and now I can't use Fusion360. Software always goes offline, always crashes and even can't launch Fusion360. Today I allowed Fusion360 to "control my computer" in System Preferences but nothing has changed. I don't know how I can fix it 😞
