My mind is blown with how awful Fusion 360 handles the most rudimentary software operations. i.e. starting a new project.  When I click on the button, it should INSTANTLY perform that operation.  Instead I get a perpetually spinning wheel.  When I upload a file to a new project, it goes at the speed of a 2400 baud modem.  The file is 24 kb! Why should it take any amount of time perceptible by a human?   When I save a project, it acts like I have a 5.25 inch floppy drive.  Why is there a progress bar at all for saving the project when I have one plate and one 2D contour operation?  These user interface operations should be INSTANT!  There is no excuse for this amount of sloppiness and user interface clumsiness!  And why is it so incredibly difficult to rotate the part?  In solidworks I rotate without a problem and get the view I want without thinking about it.  In Fusion, I absolutely can NOT figure out how to rotate in the orientation I need.  It seems to be completely random the way it interprets the mouse movements.  There is no discernible pattern.

Hmm. Well, for starters, this is the CAM forum, dedicated to assisting others in matters concerning machining of a part and less in areas of...performance. The banner at the top kinda gives that impression, anyways Smiley Tongue

I am not finding the results that you speak of. Switching in between workspaces is as instant as my mouse click. The only thing that I often find taking time is some complex 3D adaptive or surfacing

Moving the part? Middle mouse button and shift. Or click and move the cube in the top right corner. Last option, get a 3dconnexion mouse (and if you do more than idle usage, so well worth the money)

 

What are your computer and connection specs?

Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.

You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar, as the saying goes.

 

I'll give you one hint though. While not perfect, there is an option to let the mouse act more as it does in Solidworks. I much prefer it, as I'm in SW all day at work. I also really disdain the use of Constrained Orbit. Horses for courses, of course.

I'm not not talking about switching between workspaces. I'm talking about loading projects (left side of screen), saving projects, uploading files, etc.

Ok that was a badass reply. That fixed the 3D movement issue. Thanks sir
