Fusion 360 Electronics

The Future of Autodesk EAGLE

Autodesk blog: Our Path Forward with Fusion 360 Electronics [en] [jp]

  • Effective June 7, 2026, Autodesk will no longer sell or support EAGLE. Moving forward, we will continue to invest our energy in Fusion 360 Electronics.
  • EAGLE Free Subscribers: Fusion 360 for Personal Use is the suggested path forward. Fusion 360 for Personal Use is free and includes integrated CAD, CAM, and CAE functionality, up to two sheets per schematics, two Signal Layers, and a 80mm2 board area.
  • Fusion 360 Subscribers: If you already use Fusion 360, the learning curve from Autodesk EAGLE to Fusion 360 Electronics will be minimal.

Note

Endmill size

  • Trace: 1/64”(16mil)= 0.39688 mm
  • Outline and holes: 1/32” = 0.79375 mm

To create a tool path, the clearance must be greater than the end mill size. According to my test, to set the clearance to 1/17 mil (0.4318 mm) give a better result with the end mill size of 1/64”.
