Drawing dimensions on isometric View

Drawing dimensions on isometric View

Hi,

Fusion 360 can't create dimensions on isometric view on drawing. And I would be really glad for seeing this feature in Fusion. I attached Image of what I think would be nice to have. The drawing image below is created in Inventor, not Fusion.

 

Thx,

Matt

I hope this post picks up a lot of support.  I'm glad you posted an image of what you are talking about.  Other posts on the topic aren't nearly as clear on what it is they're looking for.  I have been wanting this for a long time and in my opinion it is one of Fusion's more glaring weaknesses.  

 

Also check out this post that is under future consideration: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-ideastation-request-a/3d-dimensions-in-isometric-drawings/...  I think it is asking for the same thing, but the author is not as clear as you were.  Be sure to vote for it as well so it gets strongly considered in the future ;o)

Has anyone seen or heard anything about this as a possible addition in any of the road map posts or updates?

Yes please - are there any updates from Autodesk on this? It would be such an incredibly helpful feature!

NO! There are drafting standards, you are not supposed to dimension isometric views unless all other views have been exhausted.

@gdiazPSZ2C  I understand where you're coming from, but official manufacturing drawings are not the only use for this software.  Frequently, we will want to create an iso view with the overall dimensions of an assembly to give the higher-ups.  It often needs dimensions so they can have a general idea of size.  They're not engineers, so we don't want to throw a bunch of ISO projected views at them when we're just showing off a concept.

I'll add to what @leganzish said...I don't use this software for official manufacturing drawings. One of the ways I use it is as a volunteer designing stage props for a non-profit organization. Most of the people building the props (including me) are not engineers.

 

Having dimensions visible on ISO views would be extremely helpful as we're using the printed-out drawings to cut properly dimensioned pieces and then assembling them into finished props.

Yes that may be true, I would like it for teaching students to use fusion
by having an isometric component and students then model it.

As an instructor, this feature would be great. It would allow me to create an isometric view with dimensions and then have my students create the needed views in Autocad and then create the 3D model in Fusion 360 or Inventor. Please make this happen.

inventor does this really well, its been a long time since i have used it but i miss it every time i get to the drawing stage.

 

i would love to see it in fusion 360, surely they can borrow or adapt the code to make this happen.

 

keep up the great work guys.

I see it very necessary for the work i do please. Fusion you can do it, You are the best! Right now Im doing it without drawing, in the model workspace I´m changing the visual style wireframes with visible Edges only and showing the dimension of the sketch and taking a Screenshoot but its not too professional but can help you.Captura.JPG

Common Fusion. this is a piece of basic functionality. its like missing the period (.) key on a keyboad. Please add this.. why is this taking so long.

One of my industry partners was struggling with this issue just last week. They wanted to send a quick sales drawing of an electrical cabinet out to a client, but of course couldn't add dimensions to the isometric view to show extents easily.

 

They ended up marking up a PDF, which looked about as professional as if they used MS Paint. Ouch. Smiley Frustrated
