Mac vs PC Fusion, working with Both on Same Model

[lucas]

I am Trying to open a model saved from a PC version on my Mac,   the Mac says it can't open the model because the mac software isn't to the same release as the PC and that the updated version isn't available for mac yet.

is this always a problem or pretty temporary?

Fusion 360 usually updates automatically when in online mode, so both, the PC and the mac should run the same version.

However, I believe on the Windows platform there is not such thing as an app store you can download the application from, so you only have a single source.

On the mac platform you can download Fusion 360 directly form the Autodesk Website or form the App store. the App store version is usually 1-2 versions behind as it has to go through Apple's approval process. You may want to check if you have the app store version, or the web download version.

Honestly, I wouldn't know how to do this and hope others can provide that detail.

You are correct. The problem is with the delayed uprev of the appstore software.  solution was to uninstall app store software and get it directly from autodesk through a browser.  my problem is resolved thanks
