Thats because fusion is only 50% there as workable cam.
And Autodesk publicly announces that they have no intention of becoming I.T.A.R. compliant with cloud servers. If that's the case then most general NDA's will be violated. I sent out an email at the end of last year to all my vendors stating any supplier using non I.T.A.R. cloud compliant software will be removed from the approved vendor list and anyone caught using non compliant cloudware will be in violation of our NDA.
Thats getting very common now.

Not getting into a discussion on whether Fusion 360 is good or not, because we all know it is perfect for 90% of 3 axis machine shop work. Especially on a Haas. Just letting people know the deal is going on.
Yes, the current old generation that remembers mainframes and terminals and has actual experience with "the Cloud" and was overjoyed when microcomputers made it possible to get off the fucking cloud and control their own data, yeah, when the people who have actual experience with this shit die off, then Autodick et al can run that scam past the world again.... when the current old generation retires, the people that will replace them will be much more open to such change

Just be sure:
If I buy the 360 subscription now, I can download the HSM plugin for SW with full functionality, right?
What happens to the plugin if the subscription runs out? Can I still work with the old files? Probably not?

That, plus an EAA copy of SW would be a very budget friendly option.Just be sure:

I'll bet that good part of those ITAR compliant vendors have probably lesser security (both physical and software) at their facility IT infrastructure than that of a typical server farm
I'd speculate that AD might even be lobbying for changes in said rules that would allow for customer data be stored in a sufficiently secure cloud, and when the current old generation retires, the people that will replace them will be much more open to such change
After nearly four years of deliberation, the U.S. Department of State issued a final ruling modernizing and unifying the role of end-to-end encryption in securing sensitive data and enabling digital supply chain workflows. Now, organizations can store and share ITAR technical data in cloud environments if it is protected from access by foreign entities with end-to-end encryption. As a result, firms in manufacturing, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, defense contracting, or any other industry that handles ITAR technical data should incorporate the following data protection capabilities into their compliance programs:
End-to-End Encryption: Encrypt email and files containing ITAR technical data within the client to prevent access by foreign cloud servers or personnel, effectively resolving geolocation and personnel permissions concerns.
Access Controls: Set expiration and disable forwarding for additional controls that prevent unauthorized foreign access. Revoke access to reduce the risk of foreign access in event of a data breach and watermark files containing ITAR technical data to deter file-based leaks.
Persistent Protection: Maintain control of attachments to prevent foreign access wherever they’re shared, ensuring ITAR compliance beyond the initial email.
Data Loss Prevention: Detect ITAR technical data in email and files and automatically enforce encryption and access controls.
Granular Audit: View when and where ITAR data has been accessed as it’s shared throughout the supply chain, and adapt controls for evolving collaboration and access requirements.
Key Management Capabilities: Host your own keys so that only your authorized US personnel can access the keys protecting ITAR technical data for ultimate control.
explain to me please how this current "cloud" software has anything common with the mainframe era?
because I clearly don't understand what it has to do with mainframe era, at all...
Fusion doesn't run in terminal mode, it is fully installed on your computer, and stores most if not all the files you had worked on locally also, apart from that, you can even export and save locally or anywhere else the design together with the rest of the stuff it needs also, tool libraries can be exported and stored on your own drives, so it is NOTHING at all like the terminal/mainframe era, if you lose connection - it means you data is not being backed up on to the cloud, and you have limited time till the local version of the licence runs out, was it 2 weeks before it needed to refresh? I can't recall
I've explained some things regarding how it handles online things in other threads, and I personally would like more control over how it does what in that area, but beggars can't be choosers, you want more control - spend the money on standalone software
but arguing how this "cloud" is bad is just dumb, it is VERY powerful stuff for small users which otherwise would have nothing except huge debt if they wanted to start making parts using CAD/CAM packages
and if this still doesn't convince you of its usefulness, then think of the competition aspect, if everyone had the usual standalone software that you pay a lot in maintenance fees which basically do nothing for you, then if this new thing starts to take over the market - then it is also good for you - standalone software user, also, because may give an incentive for your software developer to actually do something and develop for the maintenance you're paying to them
again - I'm not defending AD, and I'm in no way affiliated with them other than using Fusion couple times a week maybe for hobby stuff, I'm discussing the technology involved
Ask the Greeks how they feel about banks.If you think the cloud is dangerous, do you use a bank?
You must be relatively young. You have certainly drank the Kool Aid. The Cloud is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs for the simple reason that all data not under your direct control must be considered public. It is no longer yours. There is no such thing as a secure cloud. If you believe otherwise, I have a deal on a bridge I want to sell. Data security is an individual responsibility and can never be securely off loaded as a service regardless of the advertised cloud hype.
Here is a little history.During the mainframe era, mainframes were data rich and IPS (Instructions Per Second) poor. All data was centrally stored and controlled by a small number of IT staff, not the owner of the actual data. The upside was central control and maintenance was inexpensive because the staff count was low and everything was centralized. When the PC entered the fray, they were IPS rich and data poor, but sold as infinitely less expensive and your data was yours and under your control, but of course we know now that is not the complete story. Nobody mentioned that every platform must be managed both in hardware and software, including data protection and configuration control. The argument today is exactly the same as then. The gotcha is security. If you don't have it, it is no longer yours. Platform maintenance can never be securely outsourced, even if the data is on paper.
