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.

How’s Freecad these days? I avoided awhile ago it because it looked difficult to use but I think this might push me over to it

It does take a little work to get started especially if you haven't used any cad software before. But once you get the basics it's easy to search for different techniques to address any problems you encounter.

The weekly releases are looking rather promising on the UI polish, Maker's Muse did a video on it recently. There's also Ondsel which has an even more polished UI.

And they are getting closer to the 1.0 release as well:

Issue stats: overall, there are 1852 open issues in the tracker, down by 14 from last week. 26 of them are v1.0 release blockers, down by 14 from last week as well.
