Fusion 360 Dimensioning sheet in feet

sstattelman4GLLM — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 18:35:24 GMT

I need Fusion to dimension in feet and inches for an architectural drawing, but from the research I've done this is not an option at this point. So now I am trying to figure out how to save my fusion sheet as a .dwg and carry it over into a revit sheet for dimensioning. However, whenever I import the .dwg file into revit it only shows up with the inch dimensions I have already placed and none of the placed object views show up. I have also tried to do this in AutoCAD, but have never used AutoCAD software so was unsuccessful. Also another follow up question. I have to make a bunch of different sheets in fusion and would like the objects to be equal space away from the edges on every page, but it doesn't seem to let me dimension the side of the drawing from the side of the page? I really hope there is a way to export, as I have about 20 pages that need dimensioning for a school project and don't want to do them all by hand!

Thanks,

-Sean

After rereading my post it seemed like it would be easier if I added a few pictures. Here is the fusion file that is saved as a .dwg and here it is after being imported into revit. It is worth noting that even the dimensions in revit don't seem to be editable.

Would love to see a reply for this. Anyone in construction using Fusion 360 would benefit from this (Thank you USA for not adopting the metric system )

You can configure Fusion 360 to work in Architectural Units both in the Model Environment and in the 2D Drawing environment. The Screencast will show you how and do a simple model and drawing to prove it works just fine.
