Hey Fusion Team,

Lot's of great updates, thank you very much.

I have noticed under the API section, you have added the "Create Driven Dimensions".

I really miss the ability to use Driven Dimension in the sketch environment (Here). This feature has already been requested in the Idea Station, and I wonder, if there is a timeline to when it will be implemented?

Ben.

Hello Fusion 360 Team,

Nice update!

On a Mac the changes in the Sketch background are not really noticeable to me, is there a setting or is this in a specific environment like Photo Booth?

Best regards,

Ludo

@LMD001 Yes, photobooth is the most dramatic.

@keqingsong

Hello Keqing,

OK, thanks for clarifying.

Until now I only used Grey Room because, for me, is the most readable environment. But this is probably subjective of course.

Best regards,

Ludo

New Select tools? That might be useful, only Selection Priority don't make much sense to me. Stitch command get new window... but that slider is misleading, it looks like you can increase tolerance only up to slider limits, but it's not true, you can retype value beyond these limits...

I wished this will would be "Branching & Merging" update, but still a lot of work have been done.

Great job.

Quote from update page.

"Fixed – Autumn.S reported a really annoying workflow where if he changed the selection filter in the modeling workspace and switched to CAM, he wasn’t able to change the selection filter in CAM and had to go back to Modeling to make the change. Now you can do it right from the CAM workspace."

I don't see this, it seems like when you switch to the CAM workspace all filers are switch on! If this is correct that's worse than before as now there's no way to filter just edge selection, it was a pain before to have to change to the model workspace to set filters but just having them all on all the time isn't a good idea.

Here's a pic of the toolbar in the CAM workspace, notice no option to change filters or am I missing something. One more question, I'd not thought about this before but why is the selection icon there at all, if you click it while setting an op up it just cancels whatever you're doing an closes the dialog!

I bet the X, Y and Z offset for joints were in the development queue already. I put this in the idea station maybe 2 weeks ago and just for the rigid joint.

This will really help to reuce the number of joint origins that have to be created otherwise!

Very nice update!
