So the fact that AD is pushing all development in Fusion and seem to forget the Inventor users is a poor strategy in the long run I think. I hate clouds and that's not going to change. If I were using Fusion there's a good chance we would have been screwed and failed to deliver. Those 36 hours of work paid down a full years interest and leasing cost for our Haas ST-30Y. To put things in perspective - we got a rush job where we needed to work all day and all night in order to get the job. I haven't used Fusion much, but I still had four or five occasions when it didn't work - connectivity issues with cloud or some bullshit. The fact that you can't open files directly from a disk in Fusion is absolutely nuts. But we are a business which is growing steadily and we have about a thousand unique parts that are all used in various assemblies and associated drawings, so for the foreseeable future we will try to keep everything within Inventor in order to avoid a revision hell. That being said, we have Fusion and we used it earlier, especially for 3 axis router work. Who knows - maybe one day I can see my tailstock in the simulation as well:-) I just checked out that new feature you mentioned, it's moving in the right direction.
