PCB designing with Autodesk Fusion 360

embeddedguy

Most of us who like to make PCBs are familiar with Eagle CAD drawing software. I started using EAGLE when it was taught in my university during my bachelors degree. At that time I did not even realize that PCB designing skills would be very useful to me in the future even after years of passing out.

But some time ago Autodesk announce that it will discontinue EAGLE from somewhere in the mid of 2027. That was a bit shocking news for me who used EAGLE to design some PCBs.

But recently I gave found that Autodesk Fusion 360 for personal use is cloud-based development platform also to design PCBs, with similar features as EAGLE has. It is free to use for personal use and has limited features. BTW the full feature version comes at $ 85/month or $ 768/year plan.

For now, I just give it a try to Fusion for personal user. Here is a 2-layer PCB layout design. I personally found Fusion 360 for PCB easy to use and it has some nice features that helps developer to create complex PCB. 

What do you think? Let me know in the comments,

  • I am stuck in my fusion design - I have 2 pcb boards designed in fusion360. From that design how to generate the drill legend or drill table? Also want to generate dxf file from Run ULP feature infusion - how to do that? because it asks for some drillpan.ulp file. Where and ow to get .ulp file? Thank You so much for help and responses.
