Hi.
Fusion 360 suffers from huge performance issues.
I have CATIA v5 for my "day job", where I often work with complete assemblies of a whole train car consisting of more than 100,000 components, with very little effort. But trying to manipulate an assembly of ~100 components in Fusion 360 ON THE SAME SYSTEM can be enormously sluggish and frustrating even with the highest performance settings.
You guys really need to sort this out. 
you are correct, Fusion is not yet as performant as established systems such as CATIA. This is something that we are actively trying to address. What we need is data. Can you share one of those "100 component" designs, along with information about what operations are too slow (view rotation? Sketch editing? Solid editing? File Open/Save?). The more information we have the better we can "sort this out". Thanks.

I wonder by what means it is sensible to compare Catia with Fusion 360 ?
Time for you to also sort out a few things 😕
While I certainly do agree that Fusion 360 needs to address performance I think comparing Fusion 360- to Catia is silly.
That sort of thing is often done by people that never had to pay the money for the tools they have the privilege to use and often don't even know the true cost of operating.
The TCO of Catia over a couple of years is worth a small new car. It isn't something you just download, install and you are good to go. It needs a good bit of maintenance and infrastructure to work properly and that also is quite costly.
It makes zero sense to compare these two software packages based purely on features such as performance.
You would not necessarily purchase Catia to design objects for 3D printing and neither would you get a Fusion 360 license to build a compete vehicle.
You could have used a more mature attitude to address that issue than comparing Fusion 360 with Catia.
That same applies to your absolutely juvenile remark on tweets and facebook.
As I've mentioned already I agree that Fusion 360 needs to address performance. I suffer from that as much as you do, perhaps even more and I am also a paying customer as well.
I also tend to contribute a lot on this forum, which you'd knew if you actually did the same. As such I can say that a lot of performance issues arise form incorrect workflows. 100 components usually is not a problem. 1000 that;'s a different story.
