Drawing Line Weights

[Anonymous]

I am officially using Fusion 360 for mechanical engineering daily - I am really enjoying its power and flexibility.

I realize there are updates coming to the Drawing Module, but the inability to export a PDF with typical drawing line weights is very frustrating.

The exported PDF drawings from Fusion look like a 2nd graders coloring book. Having to export a DWG, then open it in DWG TrueView, changes layer line weights and re export as a PDF is very time consuming and frustrating.

Can you please change the default drawing layer line weight from .50mm to something like .15mm when exporting PDF?

Fusion drawings are not suitable for the production: visually equal lines weight on the printed or exported drawings creates non-readable output for anything little bit more complex than the basic shapes. mcgp2017 is right: grade 2 student can draw better. Unfortunately, almost all production plants operate with clearly readable 2D drawings, so, Fusion 360, with missing basic drawing functionality, completely useless for real world large scale production businesses and can be considered as the software for amateur makers, small CNC workshops or for the introductory engineering education.

Hi All, 

We are beginning to work on some line width / line weight support in Drawings, so I wanted to follow up with this thread with the good news 🙂 If you would like to see more details, and be a part of providing early feedback, please see this post on the Feedback Hub.

Best,

Timera

Hi @Anonymous  - circling back to this original Idea, we've implemented line weights control in Drawings with yesterday's release. Check it out in the What's New Blog post and reach out to Fusion.Drawings@autodesk.com if you have any questions or feedback.
