In addition, after closing all files, the RAM is not cleared, but continues to be filled. On the other hand, what I talked about earlier, Fusion 360 for Mac consumes a lot more RAM than for windows. Of course, it cannot load the processor too much.


f3d format and attach it to your next post?įor the last example of Fusion 360 load, I used two files downloaded from the Grabcad Library. I suggest you read through it!įor your info, there are quite a few macOS users and fans amongst the Fusion 360 team members.Ĭan you export your design in. This thread in the Support section of the Fusion 360 forum was started by an Autodesk Employee to inform users and collect possible problems. Just because it wasn't specifically built for that purpose does not mean that you cannot do CAD perfectly well on an M1 MacBook! Computers are mostly general-purpose tools with slight modifications for certain specializations. That market is completely insignificant compared to gaming, image and video editing, and other general-purpose tasks. Very, very few desktop computers are designed specifically for CAD and even fewer Notebooks. Thank Why doesn't the software company tell customers what you told me about: M1-based Macs are not designed for CAD software. But the most interesting thing is that after all the files are closed and we see an empty document on the program screen, the RAM load remains at the level of 5.5Gb. After launching two identical files in Fusion 360, the difference in Ram usage increases: 3.5GB Ram on PC and 6.4GB Ram on M1Pro. The result is this: an empty program loads 1.5 GB Ram on the PC and 2.2 GB Ram on the M1. In order not to talk to nothing, I ran Fusion 360 on my old PC with a Ryzen 2600 processor, as well as on a Macbook Pro M1 Pro. Or have I not noticed a warning on the Autodesk website that the M1 version of Fusion 360 is far from perfect on Apple computers? Why doesn't the software company tell customers what you told me about: M1-based Macs are not designed for CAD software. If this or that program, in particular Fusion 360, does not work well or is not fully optimized for M1 processors, why sell fusion 360 for M1 at all? Everything should work 100% or not go on sale.

To be honest, I feel cheated by the computer and software manufacturers.
