Construction Lines in 2D Sketch Mode

[gr4eme]

Having come to Fusion from 15 years of Autocad Im really missing the 'construction line' feature.

These were the dotted lines that you were able to draw and move to aid in 2D sketches

My work around is to draw regular lines and then have to go back and clean up the mess but this is time consuming

Could construction lines be implemented into the Sketch side of fusion 360?

Hey gr4eme,

Construction lines are there although maybe a bit hidden. Draw the lines (circles, arcs, splines). Select the line then right-click and select Normal/Construction to toggle.

Hope it helps.

Hello, I am learning this new and on the first set of tutorials. It asks me to make construction lines, but when I select and right click, that is the only button missing from that drop down menu. 

Help?

By the way it the functionality the same for Mac as PC. This all seems very unintuitive...

Thanks

Trevor

@trevpearson1,

The option to convert geometry is in the sketch pallet, it is the top button in the image used in my last post.  The sketch pallet will be the same on both a PC and Mac.

Feature Request:

In Fusion, its difficult to select a line some times and convert it to construction.  I think the construction line option is easier to use in Inventor where you can select 'construction' and draw as a construction.  Way easier IMO.
