1. Developer-defined User Parameter Menu Layout with capability of conditionally showing/hiding a block.
2. Ability to read from a database or at very least a delimited flat file.
3. Ability to read from a color library instead of having to include the colors with each model.
Hello Sanjay,
The top thing that I would like to see in the configurator 360 is I would like to be able to change the look of the parameters section much more like the iLogic forms in Inventor.
I would also like to it become more comprehensive. For what I am doing it would be nice to have the option to get a quote for multiple versions of the an item and determine a quantity of each of the versions that are chosen.
Thanks,
Paul Wohlford
Not used C360 yet but is a possibility for an Intent project we are working on. This project has to use Inventor API for some aspects and we are advised this will not work in C360.
Would be nice if C360 could accommodate Inventor API
Would be nice to have an integration with Vault (via an API or whatever)
1. Parameters section to look and act like iLogic form
2. Ability to set downloads/actions at the design level for iLogic designs
3. Ability to have iLogic rules run in a drawing for an iLogic design
Hi,
It is currently possible to call Inventor APIs either from iLogic rules or ETO rules within C360. If you need further help, feel free to follow up with a post or send queries to configurator360.support@autodesk.com
thanks,

My top 3
1. c360 is to handle forms from inventor
2. make somthing that can run localy in the companys server not in the cloud
3. make it faster
My wishes
1) Support for appearanceassets which use my own textures. I tried adding the BMP's to the ZIP file, but so far no luck.
2) Better AEC related output options... "3D DWG", "adsk" and or Inventor assy's as "nested" RFA's
3) Some sort of database support.... even as low level as XLS or CSV would already be nice
I was reviewing C360 for a current project, but wasn't able to use it because it won't allow the user to upload their own images to be applied to decals. So I'd suggest adding this and any other personalization options not currently available.
Thanks,
Jesse
My 2 cents
I might be looking in all the wrong places to find it, but
1) how-to/youtube video regarding the newly added features (primarily documents with properties to be filled from a C360 configuration).
2) customer (maybe 123D catch) importable environment (al la showcase) for a "how will this product look in its intended use location".
background image replacement is a start (thanks Sandjay) but an environment that moves along with the model would be awesome.
3) links to, or if non existant, an extended webinar with a good demo set for partners to provide interested customer demo's.
1. UI Forms
2. Options per design. Today configuration of downloads and RFQ applies all designs.
Forgive me if any of my list items are already present in the product, but I am not a current subscriber. I was one of the testers for 360 before it came on the market, and once my trial expired I couldn't use it anymore. I create configurators, so I don't really have a use for C360 other than to show clients what it can do...... but unfortunately it lacks the capabilities most of my clients are looking for. Here are some of the things that I believe need to happen to give C360 a broader appeal:
The video below shows an online custom product configurator that is currently in development, but it looks and behaves as one would expect as far as displaying a price and having a purchase button present at all times (if desired):
I love the 2D push pull configuring that updates in the 3D model to the left, as well as the fly-out thumbnail menus!
If there is a way to do something similar with C360 I would love to hear about it. I will likely have to turn another potential client away this week if I cannot get C360 to work as a realtime sales tool. Please contact me at: mark@applieddesignintelligence.com or here in the forum if you have any solutions that work now. Thanks!
The video shows someone else's online configurator that is under development. What is shown could be just smoke-and-mirrors. It is the ability to actualy price and sell configured items that is important.
