Still a long way from shorting Autodesk.

As a side note Autodesk released an agentic assistant back in December for Fusion. Six months later it is still quite bad.

It is almost comically bad. I've had a few simple parts to design for 3d printing in the last weeks and tried it with them (each are about 4 operations on the timeline), and it never created close to what I was trying to do even if spelled out step by step according to Fusion naming.

At this point I'm not even sure if it can properly create a simple primitive solid.

At least it’s super cheerful.
Have you yet tried the Fusion MCP that was launched last month? https://aps.autodesk.com/blog/bringing-fusion-claude-creativ...
I haven’t but I will. There are a million stupid things to do when you build lots of little parts. Robots should do that work
Still a long way to go, but I'm sure it will get there eventually.
Agreed. The labor lockup in CAD is huge.
