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”.
Outline for milling¶
Create new layer and name outline
Select layer 100 and / and line command
Draw closed shape by line
Select layer 20 BoardOutline and move green lines to show the entire outline shape
Use Polygon Pour from Outline and click outlines to be filled on Layer100
Select layer 100 Outline
/ and export in command line
Export outline as Monochrome PNG
If all compornents are inside the outline shape, you will get this result
