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.

You can export to local storage in fusion?
Only in fusion format though. I can’t load that into another CAD program.
Mine lists .f3d (the fusion format) .iges .sat .smt .step and .usdz
Edit: .usd to .usdz
I’d have to take a closer look at iges. As far as I can tell the rest of the formats are only 3d models and don’t contain constraints or sketches.
Yeah, I wouldn’t really expect them to, you can export sketches as .dwg files I know, but I don’t think that carries constraint and parameter data forward. From a little reading there is some development on a .f3d file importer for freecad.
Is there a cad tool that actually does contain that data in an interoperable way that a separate cad tool can import? Foss or otherwise?
I’m stuck with fusion for work, and like using it overall, but I do appreciate the concern over being tied into a software as a service work environment.
