[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world [S] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children) The free personal portion was nerfed recently with only a limited of active designs available and other functions blocked or paywalled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago 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 😭 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aux@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children) 10 project limit is in F360 for years now. Also who cares when you can save/open local files? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SeemsNormal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can? How? I’ve fumbled around looking for this but always get the “you’re not connected to the internet”. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Aux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] elrik@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yes. Also deleting a design puts it into a rubbish bin indefinitely and you can restore them at any time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
