Fusion issues that have been bugging me lately

tomae — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 02:47:49 GMT

I use Fusion 360 on a Mac. I recently upgraded to M3 (from Intel) but these issues were bugging me on the Intel Macbook Pro as well. I don't know if these are issues on the pc version or not (since I don't use it there)...

Fusion very annoying issues:

Drawing with Lines:

Lines not snapping to 90/180, or at least not aggressive ENOUGH, often I'll have minor angles if I don’t pay close attention.

Line continuation “clicky point” appears in odd places and is sometime hard to find or too far away. I find it easier to cancel and select line tool again and again over using the continuation point.

Making Holes:

What is best practice for placing holes? Draw lines, add “Point” at intersection and then place hole? Hole tool doesn’t seem to go to intersection of line without a point there, am I right?

Creating Points:

“Points” don’t always snap to intersection of 2 lines (either construction or normal). I often have to zoom way in and place very very carefully to get it on the (usually very obvious) intersection

All your issues can be avoided with the small blue cursor snapping hints, but they can only be cancelled if you are holding down the CMD key whilst sketching.

Holes will auto snap to end points and midpoints, but you do need to supply points for crossing lines at their intersection.

Might help....

Not sure what you are saying here. I don't see any small blue cursor snapping hints and holding CMD down has no effect on the issues I mention.

It would probably help if you could create a screencast.

I can conform that the hole tool does not snap to intersections between lines. A separate point has to be created.
