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?

    I believe it does run on Mac. Some people claim it works on Linux under

    Wine but I'm not going to go down that route.

    I have V5.12, V7.7 and V9.5.2 (and a couple of others as legacy from the

    CAM processor fiasco at V8.6)

     

    V7 has a standard license, which allows V5 to be used in that mode, too.

    I have 5.12 too and for some verrry old Friends I can run 4.16R2 all

    versions are pro.

    I did not go to 7.7 because I saw not a good relation between money and

    value, but what upset me was the EULA.

    I'm running 7.7 (got 3 full licenses).

    The stuff I do on 7.7 is probably off the edge of what Eagle can do, but

    thanks to some self made scripting, it really does the job pretty well

    for the price. Not to mention all the offloaded running cost worries..

    Because of the stuff I do is not easy to port to KiCad (afaict),

    switching is not an issue, atleast not until Kicad can do proper layer

    stack config and width/spacing adjustments for high speed impedance

    matched diff routing.

    My latest Eagle project does both large DDR4 banks and quite a lot of

    5.4G displayport routing pretty well.

    Morten,

     

    This is helpful. I will never be doing anything this complex but it is good to know that it can be done with Eagle, as I think that would imply it is a good product. I guess mostly it is what you are used to.
