"

Effective June 7, 2026, Autodesk will no longer sell nor support EAGLE. New and active Fusion 360 and Fusion 360 with EAGLE Premium subscriptions will continue to give you access to Fusion 360 electronics as well as EAGLE Premium functionality until EAGLE is no longer supported in June 2026. 

Fusion 360 with EAGLE Standard subscriptions will no longer renew after June 7, 2024. It’s recommended to subscribe to Fusion 360 for access to the electronics workspace. 

A subscription to Fusion 360 includes fully integrated CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB functionality and includes up to 999 schematics, 16 layers, and an unlimited board area.

Time to move on to another product, like KiCad!

  • I really can't see why anyone would chose anything other than KiCad now.

    A Fusion 360 subscription gives access to the PCB/Schematic functionality and I guess for those doing product design it may make sense to keep everything together in one project.  Sounds like what was Eagle is now being subsumed as functionality into Fusion 360 so it feels like the brand is going rather than the functionality.

    I have a Fusion 360 subscription but I've not tried the Electronics Workspace because I'm way more familiar with KiCad and wouldn't want to get tied in to a subscription fee.

    It might also be quite a risky thing to begin to do nowadays, to invest time to learn EAGLE within Fusion 360, with the risk that the electronics functionality would merely be one of many features in Fusion 360, with completely unrelated mechanical CAD features sometimes taking priority over the PCB CAD features in each release, especially if the PCB features wouldn't drive much more business to Fusion 360 compared to more demanded mechanical CAD functions.
