I did not kow Fusion360 would work with a space mouse. So how do you use it?
About Fusion on Mac. We are in a transition period. I will likely move back to using the Mac, after Autodesk releases an Apple Silicon (ARM Based) version of Fusion360. I'd run it on a 13" macbook Pro and 27" 4K monitor. Maybe even two 27" monitors. My next big project will be to integrate some motor housing and gear reductons with robot structure to eliminate the wasted mass when you bolt a motor to a frame, the frame will be the motor housing. This is the kind of part where Fusion excels. Parts where animal-like sculpted shapes are combined with precision mechanics. (like car doors, with all their internal parts) It works, but you want a very heavy-duty computing platform, or it gets kind of slow. The new Apple CPUs are dramatically faster than the Intel processors, but only if the developer takes advantage of the hardware. Autodesk is dragging its feet on this. They have had 5 years and so far have nothing to show. So, Fusion runs well on older Intel powered Macs (which are no longer being sold by Apple) but the new ARM based Macs are so fast they can emulate the Intel CPU and still run faster enough or even faster than Intel. But we wait for Fusion to be native on Apple Silicon.
