The free personal portion was nerfed recently with only a limited of active designs available and other functions blocked or paywalled.
It limits you to 10 editable things at once and I think caps the number of components you can have. I haven't found either of these very restrictive to my use cases as a home user/hobbiest. I hope the personal portion isn't going away, will have to deal with migrating everything and learning new workflows 😭
10 project limit is in F360 for years now. Also who cares when you can save/open local files?
You can? How? I’ve fumbled around looking for this but always get the “you’re not connected to the internet”.
You can click export and save F3D file locally. Then you can delete it from the cloud and open a different file from your PC. I have dozens of the designs saved locally.
You can also mark designs as ready-only and they no longer count, so this limit is really 10 concurrently editable designs. I just keep everything read-only unless I'm actively working on it.
Yes. Also deleting a design puts it into a rubbish bin indefinitely and you can restore them at any time.
It works great for me. You push one button to make something read-only or not. There are very few functions that I care about that are blocked. I use it for design and even CAM on a CNC router.
