The fact that you can't open files directly from a disk in Fusion is absolutely nuts. But we are a business which is growing steadily and we have about a thousand unique parts that are all used in various assemblies and associated drawings, so for the foreseeable future we will try to keep everything within Inventor in order to avoid a revision hell. That being said, we have Fusion and we used it earlier, especially for 3 axis router work. Who knows - maybe one day I can see my tailstock in the simulation as well:-) I just checked out that new feature you mentioned, it's moving in the right direction.
