Fusion Locking up, Always locking up?

[badonj002]

When every a dynamic function is being called where a mouse is dragging something, the program already knows it can not perform specified task, but sits there anyway in a non-responsive state. Example, selecting fillet and using the mouse to perform the function, if you drag farther than is possible by accident, it is a 10 to 15 minute waiting game? It already know it can not do what I ask, but still has to think about it for a very long time. My conclusion, the program is doing three things, talking to the cloud, as this seams to eat usage time the most as I find myself waiting all of the time for it to respond for no reason I can see, and it is cataloging my current state in the event it crashes so I do not lose my work, and cataloging to phone home to Autodesk about the issue. If the program Fusion 360, which is web based, and I agree it is nice to always have the latest version every time I open, but it would be nice if the program had a back door server that handled all of the phoning home and web updating separate from the user experience. I am a free license user, but I am also a continuous beta tester. I like having my work saved on the cloud, but I would like to work from nVME storage where Fusion 360 does not have to read and write through cyber-space. 

An option to save everything locally, and work directly from my drive is desired. A separate daemon that handles all the special task in the background so the development process is not hindered. Allowing me to work from my local projects directory, and the daemon making sure files and current work is sync, and also giving Autodesk all of the user data it needs to make Fusion 360 better, would in my opinion make Fusion 360 better. I also think it would be nice if I can have my projects folder addressed locally to my own backup drive where I can not only work more efficiently without Fusion talking all of the time to home command, but having the ability for a separate syncing app that would allow me to easily reorganize my projects as I need to, and the Autodesk syncing app rectify the dependencies and changes.

I could not email support because i am not a subscriber, but I am only not a subscriber because sales never contacted me so I could subscribe? I would be happy to pay if I can directly provide you feedback as these issues are aggravating. Not ungrateful, I am very grateful, but I know I am also a beta tester for my free use. once Fusion is stable and your market share starts to eat at Solidworks, you reserve the right to revoke us at any time without notice. I already inquired about paying, why I was never contacted is odd to me?

So as one of your many beta testers let me tell you if you change this schema to something other that what it is, it might improve the end-user expriance. Now I am no fool, the issues I am facing, and all free users are facing are likely programming that does not exist in paid programs, you don't want to bite the paying customers hand, but free testing users it is how we pay you for the use of the program.

Food for thought, that is all it is, my making payment for the please of being able to use this software for free. I really mean that, Thank you! If paying gets rid of the hours I spend waiting for bug and usage reporting, then please contact me, I would like to pay. Maybe look into an enthusiasts free user / beta tester subscription option. $20-$25 a month for a better driving version, yes please! Just make the daemon interrogation so Fusion is not hogging my time, and you still get my data as part of the subscription contract, and my use is smoother, 🙂
