Offline/Online Performance
Thanks for posting. While poor internet connections can cause performance issues in Fusion 360, working entirely in offline mode can trigger its own issues. Fusion will also force you to get online every two weeks to check your login credentials.
With regard to network connectivity, I would recommend working through our collection of articles on setting up for use with Fusion.
What sort of performance issues are you experiencing? If you can provide details on any specific behaviors we may be able to provide more thoughts. My first recommendation would be to check that your graphics drivers are fully up to date.
Hopefully this helps! If you continue to see problems and believe it is due to the network, we should be able to confirm with your diagnostic logs.
Thanks for the response. This graphics diagnostic won't tell us a lot about the problems you are experiencing in Fusion, but they did show that you may not be using the most recent graphics drivers. I'd recommend updating at this site.
If you continue to see problems, please send over the log files as described in my previous post and confirm that your network is set up properly for use with Fusion 360.
Thanks for posting. Hopefully the graphic driver update will help - out-of-date graphics drivers can often be the cause of many performance issues in Fusion 360. Please confirm if this helps.
Has performance on this computer always been poor or did this start recently? If it started recently, I'd try a clean uninstall/reinstall of Fusion to see if it helps.
I didn't see any logs attached to your last post - would you mind re-attaching them to this thread?
Are you working on a proxy server? If not, we usually see the performance issues being caused by Fusion looking for a proxy that does not exist, so I wouldn't worry too much about the auto-detect.
The key with the steps you mentioned is to test a different network - are you working on a desktop or laptop computer? If you are working on a laptop, simply bring it elsewhere and connect to a new network. Desktop computers are a little more difficult - can you access any other networks from your location? Again, the key here is just to test out a different network to confirm if the problems are due to the specific network.
Thanks for the response. I'm still not seeing the logs - would you mind emailing them to paul dot clauss at autodesk dot com?
The proxy server is just a different type of internet setup, used mostly in corporate environments. If you are not using a proxy, you will not need to set one up.
I think we may get a better idea of what is going on here if you could describe the performance issues you've experienced in detail - what problem behavior is occurring. The logs may provide more detail. Does Fusion run more smoothly in offline mode? Hopefully some more detail on the problems you are seeing will help us troubleshoot more effectively?
Thanks for the response and the logs. I'm glad to hear the reinstall helped with the graphics and hope it will improve the lag it seems you've been experiencing.
Setting a standard response time is difficult because the size/complexity of the design and individual hardware setups are variables, but I'm happy to have a look at any problem files if you'd like to share them and report on the performance on my systems.
In my experience, Fusion works at about the same speed and utilizes the same local resources online or offline. I have seen problems with internet connectivity cause notably worse behavior, but I don't think thats what we are seeing after looking through the logs.
In your logs, I noticed quite a few errors when Fusion 360 sent reports to Google Analytics. Disabling Google Analytics in your Preferences (as shown below) may help improve performance.
I'd also be curious if limiting effects for performance helps out.
Glad to hear it! I'll keep watching this thread, so feel free to reach out if you run into any problems.
