Downloading Fusion 360

Post by Trevor Thompson » Mon Mar 18, 2024 7:11 pm

How do you actually download this software? I seem to have gone round the same loop again and again. It seems to want me to create an account and then to wait 30 minutes and then sign in and go to a page to get the download. That is as far as I get. Im never able to actually download anything.

Or am I going in totally the wrong direction

You certainly need an Autodesk account to be able to download the software. I can't remember needing to wait 30mins before I did, but that was a few years ago now.

How far are you actually getting in the registration process ? Got an account you can log into ?

Well that was a wasted morning!

I did get it installed but then I couldn't get it to take me back to the program after I had signed in.

Either my computer is too slow, or the internet too slow - or both. Now Im having problems uninstalling it!

Well, I've managed to download and install Fusion. I've had a quick look at it and tried to draw something without referring to the video or online guides, but not got very far (unlike Tinkercad which is fairly intuitive in the early stages).

I'm willing to give it a good try. Hopefully, it'll start to make sense before too long.

If you work out how to put things a set distance apart, or move it once you have made it, please let me know :thumbup:
