Export Drawing as a JPG or PNG?

TurboTroninc — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 14:30:56 GMT

Hello all, really surprised there is no feature to export a Fusion 360 drawing as any other file format than a PDF?
Is there nothing that can be done about this considering other programs from 15+ years ago have this capability. Today many programs do not take PDFs so it creates extra steps to download it, upload, convert, download... Not to mention uploading part prints to outside sources isn't smart.

If you are using Windows operating system, the Snipping Tool can make quick work of this task. I am sure there is a screen capture tool on a MAC but I do not personally know.

do SAVEAS MESH, you get an STL, and you can easily share the STL with users, i believe it opens easily in windows (nto aure about apple), and people can pan aruond the object.

then, just do screen capture of the orientation you want, if you want to print it

Not the same quality.... another feature Fusion is lacking that seems pretty basic.

Autodesk reads most posts placed on the Fusion Support Forum. I would create a detail post on that Forum and give is a title beginning with "Feature Request..." and the feature you want. They have a large backlog of requests so I would not hold my breath for it to be implemented anytime soon. I really do not understand why you say the "Quality" will not be adequate with using a Screen Capture tool as I mentioned but that i up to you.
