The trick (although it is not easy to find the information on the Autodesk site!) is to sign up for a 30d free trial. Towards the end of the trial you will be prompted to buy a licence, and at this point you can specify that you want a “home and hobby user” licence. This is free, and actually gives you access to full F360 functionality, more than the basic paid-for licence gives. I’m not sure about educational licences – I believe that there is a way to sign up for one of these which gives access to quite a few Autodesk products. Verification needs you to have an email address at an appropriate eductational establishment.

You mention that Fusion 360 is free for hobby users but how do you get it free. Do you need to register as a student? If so what do you put down as your ‘educational role’

Not as far as I know, Phil. It seemed like a good idea, but on the whole I think that members are beavering away on their own projects and using F360 as they require it. My own CNC router was designed with the aid of F360, but even then I have not actually drawn the whole machine, just the principal components and details as I needed them. The idea of a library of common parts for something like rolling stock is a great thought although I’m not sure if many of the F360 session participants are actually railway people! Be interesting to see if anyone picks up on this; it would be a good question to bring up at one of the Monday evening sessions.

Did anything come of the group F360 project? I am creating my own library of parts, e.g. rails 56.5″ apart…
Eventually I would like to model a 5″ GWR ‘Toad’ Brake van.
Is anyone interested in collaborating?

We have now updated all the links to previous presentations and I hope that you can now find them.

Hi, Fusion 360, I feel I am being led in circles, never finding the ‘links below’

If you have looked for something in the SMEE Digital Library recently you will have noticed that the link is no longer in operation. Adrian Garner as webmaster and others are looking for the best way to make materials such as video and supporting documents easily available to members. Once that has been sorted, information on how to access those resources will be flagged up in the Latest News window. Watch the space.
