Hi,
I have a Fusion 360 subscription that I got particularly because of EAGLE. As it turns out I use so many other features of Fusion that I could not
run my business without it. Especially using Fusion CAD to make PCB sketches is VASTLY SUPERIOR to EAGLE. You can sketch a PCB as intricate as you like
with all the CAD tools that Fusion has but EAGLE does not. Thereafter with Fusion you can generate a PCB from the sketch and import it into the Fusion Electronics package.
I use it extensively....if you haven't tried it you haven't lived!
There are just a few little quirks where I find the Fusion version of EAGLE lags the real thing, but otherwise I have been using Fusion for PCBs for three years plus.
The only thing that I really dislike, and have raised repeatedly with Autodesk, is that when Autodesk ported EAGLE they changed something about EAGLEs Pour function
which in turn means that PCB-Gcode does not work....to my great annoyance.
To counter this I export my Fusion Electronics PCB design back into EAGLE so I can use PCB-Gcode. Its a hassle I would rather avoid but it works fine and after several years
its become second nature.?
Autodesk have promised to fix Fusion Electronics such that PCB-Gcode works.....butb it has not happened and that after several years pestering them about it.

Like you, still sticking with what works. I run eagle on win10, but know that if windows pulls it stunt of not allowing some versions of software to run cause its "to old", that I can pull up my virtual machine
in whatever flavor OS I want! Just something to consider when your XP machine finally expires.

As the old saying goes, it it isn't broke don't fix it. I still run Windows XP with old version of Eagle and PCB Gcode. |
