We're to the point that he'll call me and make sure when I open the design file, all parts open without sync errors before he'll close it, just because we've been burned so many times in the last couple days.Īs I said in my post, the last two or three versions were all the same, none of them had saved the changes made. We've been fighting through this all day. Sometimes not though and you have to try that again.

If you change something minor on the schematic, and save all again, sometimes it works that it creates new versions of all files correctly. If you then close all tabs, the file gets hosed. Verified in the data panel that new versions were created for each, but the schematic shows the older one and an old save time. He goes to the main design file and hits save to save all, and it creates new versions of the design, board, and 3d model, but not the schematic. Example this morning, coworker fixed a problem, the last thing he was touching was the board file. It seems as though the schematic just flat out isn't saving the latest, sometimes. I'm going to reply here because I can directly answer. Then we were told to go back to standalone eagle, a fix is coming in 9.6 to link things again. It was announced as fully ready to go and even broke the stand alone eagle to fusion linking. It would be one thing if this was released with a big warning that it was all preliminary, don't lean on it for real work. I'm to the point that I save, close, and re-open the library after adding 1 component just to make sure it hasn't happened and wasted an hour of my life. As I build libraries sometimes it will just delete every single item inside that library and i'll have to roll back 2-5 versions and try again. Between all the previous problems like having no clear path for migrating over existing eagle designs and libraries, all the problems with 3d packages, and now the problem of entire versions of files literally deleting themselves, how did this get through testing? I've been struggling just with libraries. This integration was clearly not ready for primetime, it should not have been released. We've gone too far into the mentality that it's ok to have users do the bug testing. What good are all this cool features if they don't work at all?įully in agreement. To the point that I'm even considering moving to a free option. I need to use Fusion to create a complex 3D printed enclosure for this PCB so I need all the Packages, and seems like the old Fusion-Eagle workflow is also messed up from what I've seen in other posts.Īs a paying client I am seriously disappointed in the team behind this mess.

Admit that your incompetence has cost me one week worth of work and start from scratch on Eagle.Keep wasting time in trying to finish this PCB in Fusion (and possibly end up scraping it off next week and starting from scratch).Now I have a week of work put into a PCB and at least 20 or 30 components created with footprints and packages that I can't move to Eagle because for some stupid reason they are not compatible. If you are going to release this BULLS**T at least have the DECENCY of placing a BIG disclaimer letting your users know it is unusable. Pushing to 2d PCB from the 3D PCB doesn't work either. I've tried to check the older versions of the 2D PCB but they are all the same. When I open again it turns out Everything I did is lost in the 2D PCB but present in the 3D PCB.

I've spent a few hours routing the PCB I'm working on (it would have been finished days ago if I used Eagle instead of Fusion) and in the process I must have saved at least 3 times. It is even worse than USELESS it works just enough to make you believe you can use it and then you end up wasting ten times more time. It's not that it has a few annoying bugs or a TON of missing features, it is just plain USELESS.

WHY would you release something SO BUGGY?
