I guess I'm not seeing the advantage over existing software.

Unless there are some tie-ins with their other 123D software to, say, automatically create a hardware enclosure from a schematic.

We have that! Just push the "generate enclosure" button in the circuit details page.

Cool! I'll have to check this out then. I love 123D in general, it's like Inventor, only free!

That has long been my Achille's heel - I can EAGLE a pcb pretty easily, but woodworking / 3d interlocking Ponoko designs elude me.
