Recursive Component Update

vex — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 17:07:42 GMT

Fusion Dev Team, would it be possible to expedite an improvement to the component update functionality in Fusion 360 please? In particular the utilization of assemblies and sub-assemblies being able to update the components from a single level. IE if working in an assembly with multiple sub-assemblies; being able to update at the top level and have the command execute on all the lower levels would help users out a lot.

Having encountered this issue myself I do like the ability to adjust and modify sub-assemblies for a plethora of reasons (machine resources, organization, simultaneous editing of a project and different components, etc).

Thanks!

Kudos the Idea here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/recursive-component-update/idi-p/5914121

Hello @vex,

What you are asking for is what we call deep update. This is on our road map along with in place edit, derived components and other features to complete our distributed design workflows. During the development of these features we discovered that what we thought was a good solution created a workflow that is not desired for our upcoming branching and merging feature. We have since come up with a design that will work well, however the solution is large project for our team. We are targeting solutions for our distributed design workflow to incrementally roll out next year, starting with deep update.

Thank you,

Mike Prom
