I would say it is very much debatable if getting it from the Apple App store is “better” than from Autodesk directly. The updates to Fusion 360 are very much behind on the app store version because Autodesk has to go through the Apple vetting procedures for every release there. They are updating more frequently than Apple has been able to keep up with. Apple isn’t "managing software updates automatically” as much as delaying Autodesk from releasing updates quickly and informing you via the App Store application when they (Apple) have finally gotten around to censoring the offensive comments in the code and making it available (having been involved with an Apple app release perhaps I am not being facetious ;-). If you are of the mind that being behind several revisions is “better”, then by all means go for it… I have found that the new updates (mostly) add stability and performance as well as many enhancements and features (rather than more bugs) so I am a fan of the direct download myself. By the way, you can ALSO download the direct app from Autodesk EVEN IF you have the Apple app store version. There are several threads on this subject in the Fusion 360 forums, which by the way are an excellent source of information. I have to say, Autodesk support for Fusion 360 is absolutely great. Notice I didn’t say “for a free app”. They have been great, period. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
