For the third time, I am attempting to get through an entire project in Fusion360 Electronics.
It is still crazy, but at the moment I can get though to the end at least. The first two efforts were total flameouts that could not be finished.
Check out the weird ass library system.

Because I have the $300 Fusion360 license, I figured I'd try to do something simple with the Electronics/EAGLE thing, which is part of the package.
Total flameout. Trying to navigate the libraries and put parts on a schematic was way more difficult than it should be. Why oh why.
Funny, though, exporting a STEP model of a board from Kicad and importing it into F360 works well.
I mean, I absolutely see the value in having changes made to the PCB layout immediately reflected in the 3D model so the enclosure etc design can continue and be updated. The export-from-Kicad/Import-in-F360 means basically deleting the old board model in F360, importing the update, aligning it, all of that.
But damn, the Autodesk Electronics thing is a disaster.
