Did autodesk fold in on Eagle?

autodeskguest

I got this email from autodesk:

|As of January 7th, 2020, Autodesk EAGLE will now be included as a part

|of a Fusion 360 subscription. All users maintain access to your

|existing EAGLE software while gaining access to Fusion 360 at no

|additional charge.

 

I suspect autodesk is slowly giving up on this business, and that my

long wanted features never will see the day.

It is sad for the Eagle community and a huge threshold to climb for

those of us needing to move to a different software.

  • I moved off KiCAD to Eagle once it integrated with Autodesk Fusion 360.  It makes for an even quicker build.  I never have a PCB that doesn't need an enclosure.  So, their approach eliminates a lot of measuring and rework.  It very much streamlines the design workflow.

     

    As far as I can tell, its still free for students, hobbyists, and educators.

    That doesn't work for me. I need a pro version that doesn't stick on

    internet. And I don't want a rental license.

     

    I run eagle on windows but if win runs out of support I shall not

    upgrade to win 10.

    I shall go with Linux then and my eagle-6.6 will still run on image

     

    I have tried KICAD but.... well read the former posts and import of

    eagle files is not so flawless as pointed out by some people.

     

    I read that Fusion360 is not running on Linux. What about Mac?

     

    I have a question to the fellas here: what eagle version are you running

    now?

    EAGLE's great, unfortunately I'm beyond the free limit (for layers and size) and while I don't mind paying for software, for me I'd rather look elsewhere at that price. It works out to $1500 if I commit for three years (or $2500 pay-monthly) and PCB design isn't my career. For that cost, I can either use EAGLE, or put that money toward some vocational course to further my career down any path.

    Also at this cost it is the same ballpark to rent CAD software used by large enterprises, e.g. Mentor Graphics or OrCAD. The free tier is fantastic though for those able to use it though.
