Datum Target Symbols

rcollins50v — Sat, 08 Feb 2020 01:13:45 GMT

Hi all,

I assume there are no datum target symbols (GD&T) available for use in Fusion? Are these on any roadmap for implementation?

Obviously, there is Datum target symbols. The whole GD&D functionality is included in Fusion drawing.

Here is a picture of it.

That is not a datum target symbol. That is a datum symbol. You can search for datum targets in 14.5 to see symbol and its use case.

That is also what I need.

This is Datum targets.

We really need this ASAP.

Dear Moshier Rashid

referring your answer in this topic to a question from rcollnis50v @rcollins50v from feb 2020 . He is right, I also searching to this symbols. I find no possibility to describe this fundamental issue in a technical drawing. For me point of view it is a technical standard and a must to have this symbol in the general symbol library of form and positional tolerances.

It might no be a "rocket point" to implement this in a professional program like FUSION 360 .

I would be very glad to get an answer form AUTODESK. Thanks a lot

What is the latest status of this feature? (Round datum targets)

It's still not available and a really basic function when it comes to GD&T.

Examples can be found in ISO 5459

We need it asap. Is there a known "fusion-workaround"?

Is there any news related to that? I also need to add Datum targets and as far as I have noticed there is still not implemented...

I need this too. Fusion should support ALL the ASME drawing standard symbols...

This would be greatly appreciated! Please add it to the drawing tools! Thanks!

Same for me. I hope datum targets as per ASME Y14.5 and ISO will be implemented soon...

Bump - I need to add datum targets to a drawing as well as hatched areas to show where they apply, and Fusion can do neither. This is basic functionality, please add it!

Have you guys considered using the "Sketch Symbol" feature at all? I've created a bunch of symbols that are part of my standard drawing template to fill in for stuff that Fusion doesn't currently have (like flag notes, "CF" symbol, etc.)

Good suggestion Scott - it shouldn't be needed for standard symbols, but I used it to create the datum target symbol and it works OK, once I figured out that %%C creates the diameter symbol that I needed
