  • Maybe Autodesk will find a useful way to integrate electronic CAD with mechanical CAD. Most import/export methods of doing this today are a long, long way from optimal.

    Maybe Autodesk could implement the ability to open EAGLE .brd files directly in Fusion360 and then allow STEP models to be assigned to the various components (either manually or from attributes) to create an overall 3D model of a board much the same way as the application Copper does on OS X.

     

    Anyway, I'm most happy that the Cadsoft team will now hopefully have owners who understand software development and will give the time and resources needed to get some of the really big features we've all been asking for implemented. With a parent company the size of Autodesk I think Cadsoft finally has a real chance of gaining some ground on the big three vendors (Mentor/Cadence/Altium).
