All I had left was the design, the first drawing, and (luckily) paper copies of the other six.ĭisgruntled, I “walked away” from Fusion 360 for a while. Suddenly, everything I was working towards had gone. Unfortunately, the licensing rules had changed by then, and I said goodbye to all but one of my seven drawings… I was happy with my efforts and later decided to play a little more, making some minor changes to the design.

I finally ended up with a design I was satisfied with and seven sheets of drawings. I was getting quite proficient with Fusion 360 and could produce working drawings and (eventually) a BOM (bill of materials), outshone the occasional difficulties I had with the model. As of 2019, those versions are gone! Fusion 360 now has one price point – the $495 / year.Designing the new wooden building wasn’t too hard. Prior to 2019, Fusion 360 had a “standard” and “Ultimate” licenses which were $300 and $1,500 per year, respectively. I thought Fusion 360 had a “Standard” and “Ultimate” version? This of course offers the full capabilities of Fusion, and trials are also available. Fusion 360 Paid Licenseįusion 360 “paid” version costs $545 / year (or $70 / month if you only commit to the monthly version). Like the student version, this free license has the full capabilities of Fusion 360.
