Does Product Design and Manufacturing collection include Eagle

[Anonymous]

I have a subscription to the Product Design and Manufacturing collection, which includes Fusion 360 as an added benefit. With the recent announcement that Eagle is included with Fusion 360 subscriptions, does this also mean that this will be added to that collection? Or would Eagle require a separate Fusion 360 subscription?  I didn't really see that addressed in the FAQ

Thx for the tag @TrippyLighting 

Hi @Anonymous  - I just confirmed that you indeed have access to EAGLE via your PDMC subscription since it includes F360.

I'll also ask to have our FAQ updated.  Thanks for checking!

AFAIK Fusion 360 is part of the suite. A Fusion 360 subscription includes access to Eagle premium.

I have a commercial Fusion 360 subscription and see this in Eagle:

Hi @Anonymous 

you are right, Autodesk EAGLE is no longer part of the PDMC (Product Design & Manufacturing Collection).  

Fusion 360 continues to be available in the Collection. With Electronics being a part of Fusion 360 it continues to offer electronics design and manufacturing capabilities. 

All PDMC subscribers actively using EAGLE will find a new "stand alone" Fusion 360 entitlement in their account which gives access to EAGLE. For you as an EAGLE user, there should be no action to do. Just start EAGLE as usual and it should work. 

I have to admit that there have been a few accounts where this process was delayed. If you experienced a bit of trouble with EAGLE the last two days, I have to apologise.  Our team is working on this and should have resolved all problems.

Thank you and best regards,

Hi,  does this mean if I have not been using EAGLE up to now but have the PDMC collection I no longer could use EAGLE if I wished to?  Thanks  Richard

Hi everyone,

Where is the link to download Eagle Premium since it doesn't show up in the account > all products and services.

Where can I download EAGLE Premium?

The same question.

I have a PDMC subscription with Fusion 350 included and want start to use Eagle  Premium.

How can I  do it  if no Eagle in downloads?

Hi @Anonymous 

EAGLE is not part of the PDMC anymore, but Fusion is. For electronics design you could use Fusion Electronics. The collections gives you full access to it. https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/electronics-engineer 

With a Fusion 360 subscription you had full access to EAGLE Premium. 

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hi Richard,

I think it's confusing. When you buy a Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, you have Fusion 360 in the included software package. Now, when you look for Autodesk EAGLE, it states that it's included with Fusion 360 subscription. I think most of the people may think, if you have PDM Collection, then you have Fusion 360, therefore you have EAGLE. It doesn't make any sense that if you have PDM Collection and you need to use EAGLE Premium, you should buy a separate Fusion 360 subscription. Why should we do it if Fusion 360 is already in PDM Collection?

I know that there is EAGLE Free (limited), Fusion 360 Electronics and EAGLE Premium. What I read is EAGLE Premium is more powerful and better specially for users who have been using EAGLE for years. As far as I know Fusion 360 Electronics doesn't have the same level EAGLE Premium has. This is the reason why I'm looking for EAGLE Premium download link.

Thanks!

Hi Richard, I've just wanted to make I understood what you meant. With PDMC you have access to Fusion 360 (of course Fusion Electronics), but don't have access to EAGLE Premium. If you want to access EAGLE Premium, you need to buy a separate Fusion 360 subscription even though you already have a subscription of PDMC with Fusion 360 included. Is this correct?

For instance, a user that wants to use Inventor, AutoCAD, Fusion 360 and EAGLE premium should buy two subscriptions: PDMC (with Inventor, AutoCAD and Fusion 360 included) and Fusion 360 subscription (to access EAGLE Premium). Is this correct?

Hi @sergio_duran 

okay, let's clarify things here. 😀

First,  with PDMC you have Fusion included and it gives you full access to electronics design with Fusion 360 Electronics as part of Fusion.

Second, if you want to work with EAGLE, you need to have a Fusion subscription which gives you access to EAGLE Premium. EAGLE and Fusion are closely related with their ECAD-MCAD workflow. Price wise you now get Fusion and EAGLE to a better price than it it was before. 

About functionality: 

EAGLE is the foundation of Fusion Electronics. So basically capabilities are nearly the same.

There are some differences:  Fusion Electronics does not support Design Blocks yet, but has better tools in manual routing (like guided routing), supports custom fonts, improved polygon calculation and some more things.

Hope this helps.

Dear Richard, thanks for clarifying that. I see now that the electronic design module can be called up in Fusion

Kind regards
