This doesn’t sound like an issue for those who use Fusion frequently, however you may want to find ways to get local files, just to be safe.

Yeah I’ve been meaning to try FreeCAD in anger but every time I try it out I find it clumsy, awkward and limited. I’m hoping the new organisation will allow them to get more funding, I’d really love an actually good open source CAD.

I'd say that it's probably helping already. I am relearning CAD after near 20 years and it's much improved over the last time I tried it around 2018.

That’s great! I’ll give it a go again soon.
