Drawing Environment Functionality

Dave_Ash — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:31:31 GMT

Having produced Manufaturing drawings for 23 yrs In Autocad LT im now Trying to replicate the same standard of drawing in the drawing space of fusion. I have come across the following stubbling blocks. i know its a different programe. but would expect some similar functionality.

Text

No Spell check.
Can't change default Text colour

Text Leader Note:

Only single lead lines can be made
Lead line can't be restrained to be Horizontal.
Text is always under lined no option to not have them underlined
There is no way to make a leader to the face of an object, it has to be to an edge but how do the person know which edge you are talking about. In my instance i want to label the face of a drawer front with the finish and not the edge.

Detailed Views:

Lines are solid not dotted, so they look like part of the drawing.
There is No rectangle detail view make for a lot of wasted drawing space Depending on what you are detailing

Justifying text:

You cannot truly make text centre justified by using the Text Tool the insertion point still stays top left however the detail view automatic text does actually create a centre justified text with the justification point staying middle bottom which is ok. The only way to get this is to copy the detailed view Text.

Lines in the views:

There is No way to hide a line in a view. Sometimes THE client don’t want to see a join that will be invisible on the end product.

Line

There is no way to make a line other than to move a centre line. I like to keep all my annotation in a nice neat line so my drawing don’t look messy.

Hi @Dave_Ash

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

There is a lot to unpack in your post. Some of what you are looking for is possible, some of it, is what I would classify as new feature requests. But all of which is really important to us.

I would love to jump on a call with you, to discuss how you are using our drawings package, and to try to get a deeper understanding of the frustrations you are seeing. I can also share workflows & settings that will achieve part of what you are looking for.

If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a Zoom session with me, I would love to connect and learn more.

Hi @Dave_Ash

I've just tested it, and it's working perfectly.

Please try an incognito window, or private mode (whatever your browser's equivalent is).

I should have posted the way i got there was to remove all the text after the last forward slash in the adrees window after you click the link. Crazy i know but it worked for me.

so thats all the jargon after ...... bookings/

Would be nice to see some major steps forward in this area.

90% of the points are unresolved/ still as they where at time of post.

are there any planed improvments?
