All support for simulation, generative design, and custom extensions has been removed.CAM support has been drastically cut back: no more multi-axis milling, probing, automatic tool changes, or rapid feeds, but support for 2, 2.5, and 3 axis remains.

Rendering can now only be done locally, so leveraging cloud-based rendering is no longer possible.

2D drawings can now only be single sheet, and can only be printed or plotted.

Perhaps most importantly to the makerverse, STEP, SAT, and IGES file types can no longer be exported, the most common files for those who want to edit a design using different software.

Thankfully this still includes STL files but alas, DXF, DWG, PDF exports are all gone Exports are now limited to a small number of file types.Project storage is limited to 10 active and editable documents.The clear message from Autodesk is that Fusion 360 - the widely used suite of CAD and CAM software - will still offer a free-to-use non-commercial license for design and manufacturing work, with the inclusion of a few very big “buts” that may be deal-breakers for some people. That may be a reach, but judging by the reaction of the Fusion 360 community to the announced changes to the personal use license, they’re pretty much hating life right now. So logically, it seems we’ve proved nobody likes life. Change is inevitable, and a part of life.
