Hey
So after the recent outage rendering Fusion 360 Electronic unusable for a day, I decided to have a look at the deployment files that come across the inter-web during an upgrade and get copied the User directory (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\). I wanted to see what type of dll's etc where included and maybe figure out why on earth it took soo long to launch the app. I'm an embedded guy so wasn't holding out much hope.
Anyhow, I found the new libEagle directory (\production\xxx\Applications\Electron\LibEagle) and noticed a few things which may or maynot be correct.
1) Fusion 360 appears to run as and Electron app like Microsoft VS Code
2) The executable that used to be delivered in standalone Eagle, eagle.exe, had been deployed as a dll
3) The QT environment, libGLES and libEGL all appeared to be still in use
4) The recently added plugin, AnsysEdb was there in all its glory
5) The help files all refer to eagle 9.7.0
So, here are my questions:
1) Do the Fusion 360 Schematic design and PCB layout components really still run as a QT app which is wrapped in an electron environment?
2) Does libEagle still contain all the Schematic/PCB and rendering code (via calls to QT) that used to be there in 9.6.2 and all the enhancements since then?
3) Why is the infrastructure for the old standalone Eagle (help files. ngspice, examples etc) still being deployed if it's a newly rewitten app?
4) How come the Eagle help files are versioned as 9.7.0?
And to my main question, does all this point to an insurance policy as such that gives Autodesk a way to split the PCB environment back out as 9.7.0 Eagle or is it really time for me to move on lol?
Cheers
Stewart
