Hi, because importing common foreign files like bearings or some other standard components from other companies into Fusion 360 is quite a chore. I suggest the possibility of Autodesk to partner with TraceParts Online, CADenas and any others to integrate their catalog directly into Fusion360, so it'll save time from having to do round tripping since all the data are online anyways, doesn't make much sense to download into computer (offline) and import it back into Fusion (online).

Sabemos que hay Autodesk Training Center y Academic Partner en todo el mundo. Pero lo que es curioso, es que cada centro imparte capacitación a su conveniencia, a su estilo y bajos sus criterios. Mi idea consiste en estandarizar toda la capacitación mundial del software de Autodesk Fusion 360 en todas los ATC y los AAAP de manera que cualquier usuario pueda hacer un nivel básico en cualquier país y seguir con niveles avanzados en cualquier otro país. Mi idea se extiende a todos los software de Autodesk.   Pero por otro lado comento también, que si se expone una idea, es porque se ha detectado un problema o debilidad a lo que esta idea, generaría la respectiva solución.   Basado en este criterio, informo que nosotros @ATCAbstract hemos estandarizado la capacitación en Inventor, Fusion 360, AutoCAD y Revit. y a todos los ATC y AAAP que lean este post, le ofrecemos la voluntad de apoyarles para unificar criterios de esta filosofía de capacitación mundial.       Si les pareció útil esta información, por favor dar clic en Kudos (Los kudos son fuentes de motivación para seguir aportando en esta comunidad) Show More

i am sorry for directly comparing the features of different other packages. its just that i cant write down all the features here. My sincere request to the Developers is to have a look at other parametric molding tools and also the Creo Direct modeling express tool, their Sketching modeling is so very intuitive to use to makes sketches and use them for 3D and make it more user-friendly. Please improve the sketching module from parametric aspect as well as the from snaps point of view, there are soo many snaps which fusion Sketcher has missed out on. please look into it to develop fusion as a free form modeling tool as well as engineers geometry driven tool with snaps prompting the dimensions. this would improve the productivity of an engineer and help make fusion real fast and leave solid works behind in-terms of hybrid modeling functionality. \ i am not asking you to do directly what other competitors offer, My intention is to show fusion the features they lack and ask them to add features more intuitive and more functional to do things in a way exclusive for fusion and set a trend in the market.   Show More

I would like to give part constrains such as co planar or perpendicular concentric circular etc,. with reference dimensions and define the tolerance in the assembly module itself between parts creating relationship handles where chance in dimension of the reference parameter of a part can be linked to different child parts this can be real advantage in parametric design Show More

Coming from a Catia background, I use wireframe geometry combined with linked parameters extensively in developing kinematic motion models that eventually form the core of a linkage design. Part of the kinematic solution, involves rotating points relative to axis systems that represent intermediate motion of the linkage. The feature I need is the ability to set up multiple axis systems, and then transform a geomtric element from one axis to the other.   example - I have a axis system at the origin XYZ, and a secondary axis that has an origin at 1,1,0, and also rotated 30 degrees. Allow a point, or element to be selected, then moved from the original axis system to the new one, and maintain that link relationship (this is critical). Later allowing the position and angle of the coordinate system to be modified, and have the corresponding geometry move in relation to that axis system.   This feature could also be used to move solids. It's invaluable from a kinematic solution standpoint as the methods I use are based on geometry and it's a huge pain to not have axis translation capability. Show More

I am looking for an add in that can Batch Convert a Fusion assembly, complete with joints, into Blender. I know this is technically complex, but maybe someone with experience in both APIs could suggest an approach?   Essentially, I know I can import STLs into Blender, and rig them with joints. If Fusion add-in could automatically do this, at least to replace the tedium of the finer details with some intelligent conversion, then this would be a big step in improving the value proposition of using Fusion 360 for complex mechanical simulations with many joints, like mechanisms machines, gearboxes, etc. In my case, I am trying to simulate the motion of a cable chain assembly, which has many joints which (understandably) bogs fustion down. In blender, handling this kind of animation will be a breeze. So I envision using Fusion to model the parts with the precision of a solid modeller, and then use Blender, (which is free yet very sophisticated) for the animation.   Maybe there is a common denominator between joints in the two apps that can be leveraged to make such a batch exporter possible. Early versions would not have to do all the joint types, perhaps rigid, rotational, cylindrical, and slider for starters and a proof of concept. Blender is so sophisticated with joints, I imagine it shoud handle the basic Fusion joints with ease, so long as there is a clever way to map one to the other and move the data across. I wonder also if Joint Origins could be translated, maybe that could serve as a shortcut compromise for early atempts.   To import or export, that is the question! An exporter in Fusion 360, or A360 cloud translation, or   An importer inside Blender, or their cloud translation (if it exists).   Which is the better approach, I don't know.   Anyone have experience in both APi?s Thoughts?       My DIY Cable Chain, A360 Show More

360 needs some work done on the STL out for 3D printing as well as simulation (though that's never a good way to go). A replication of what's in standard Inventor would be super useful - finer control over tessellation, some sensible presets, and a preview would make it about perfect.    Control over the output from assemblies would be good too.   Not an issue if you're outputting a single STL from an assembly, but some additional options and control when creating separate files for each part would be - in particular when there's multiple references to the same part.   Perhaps with a flag in the file name for multiples when working with separate files to indicate you need multiples and how many (think Bolt_5mm_count2.stl).   Al Show More

Can we get translation/link to Revit including materials. The power in design would be amazing. Show More

Hello Everyone, Currently this software works great for the needs of my complany as file types that it can import. The one drawback that I have found to this great software is that I have to export from Fusion 360 as a STEP file so that I can bring it into another conversion software to convert it to a VRML(.wrl) file which is the only thing we use here. It would be so awesome if Fusion 360 could Export VRML files and save us that extra few steps (pardon the pun). Thanks for all that you do and have a great day. Show More

Fusion 360 & Inventor are both very powerful tools for producing fabrication information. They need to be more inter-operable with Revit. All of these systems can produce parametric parts, but there is no easy way of transferring the geometry between these packages, and once you transfer the geometry all of the parametric intelligence is lost.   Our ideal workflow would be:- Export an individual Revit Element or Revit Element Type to  Fusion 360, such as a Metal Rainscreen Panel. Whether this is just the generic overall geometry that represents the size and outline shape of the component or a more detailed representation. Develop the geometry in Fusion 360 so that the fabrication drawings can be produced to give to our fabricators. Build-in any parametric values to the component so that the sizes can be changed to suit the required types (this would be a nice to have but not essential) Replace the component type in Revit with the version modified in Fusion 360, All of the original component parameter information must remain in tact from the original component, and any reporting parameters created in Fusion 360, such as width and height should be reported and be scheduled. If these could remain parametric to drive the component that would be a welcome bonus. Show More

Hi,    What I would love to see is that you could use autodesk fusion to also make assembly manuals with pictures, assembly sequences and text, video and so on.  This of course with a good translation support for every language you can think of.  Why is this interesting? Well you could use it as a test 'channel' whereby users could try the assembly or simulate without having to resort to a real live situation, thus reducing the cost to prototype. This could also support a more natural design cycle between users, other disciplines and engineers. Making the design and improvement cycle more agile and also learn/explore the best way to design a good product.  This could aid in getting a good cradle to cradle design for example. Often something that needs a very multi disciplinary approach.    kind regards    Onno   Show More

Developing a light, but powerful module for 360 that enables full offline use, without forcing too much load on the GPU, should be essential. The development of a design suite that uses offline toolboxes, and saves models offline, would open a whole new world of possibilities for Fusion 360. By creating a light-weight module that could be used on any CPU and GPU combination could open the market towards adapting the module to iOS. By implementing Apple's recently launched METAL API, the application would be powerful, but lightweight, and could enable a true Hand-Off experience. Being able to translatate the lightweight API from the iOS F360 App to OS X's Full F360 graphics engine is definitely a must for Autodesk.    The iOS app could be a completely independent F360 Engine (name that could be used for the mobile engine: "FusionMetal"), and could employ iCloud as syncing mechanism for models designed on OS X and models designed on iOS. Being able to bring a model truely to life on my iPhone is something I look forward, and I know that Autodesk is capable of unleashing a Fusion Revolution.   This simple approach towards capturing an idea on-the-go, and being able to use the power of an iPAD or iPhone 6 Plus, will revolutionize the current envisionment of the iOS devices in the engineering, architecture, and design business.  Show More

Hi, I would consider this as a bug or enchancement cause it's real annoying and messes up the STEP files sent to the machine shops. Because of how threads will resize the hole in F360, it also changes the depths. Here's an example.   1. Dia 4.00 with Depth 8.00   2. M4 thread is added   3. Hole Depth after thread is added     Having the diameter change is not an issue as the drill hole diameter for an M4x0.7 tap is dia 3.30, however the hole depth shouldn't change. Depth of 8.00mm should stay as 8.00mm regardless what screw thread the user end up choosing. Right now I have to always re-edit the hole after adding threads to make sure the machine shop doesn't ask me why do I have such odd hole depths.  Hope this will be fixed ASAP.  Show More

Best example would be the Move brush inside Zbrush.  3DS Max shift tool is also a good example.  Where it allows movement of verts to happen in screen space without selecting every individual point.   So it's a combination of drag select > soft select > screen space movement.   It's a very organic type of modeling that allows for more character to be brought into a shape quickly.

I read in the road map for fusion that we are about to get some mesh work space some time in the future.  Can I respectfully ask that AD let users that work a lot with laser scanners and other meshing systems use the tools for a few weeks before they are let out into the wild.  If the right tool set is in the mesh work space then there will finally be a one stop shop program. The importance of plugging that particular hole in the difference in cad verses scan formats, plus it being available in this licence format is extremely exciting.  This sugestion is made in the same spirit as the user group update testing submission.  Show More

I understand that importing geometry is a popular request.  I also understand that the status is now "Implemented"  Still I have to ask where is the add or Import button?   Here are some thoughts and observations on the subject: Drag and Drop in the Dashboard   Note when I tried the drag and drop function it works for the initial establishment of a file but when I tried to add a surface into an existing file I get a crash document. Drag and drop should work while the file is open as the workflow needs to accommodate all potential outside geometries. Import button The default should be to all available file types with easy filter for type. It would be awesome to be able to parametrically connect imported bodies to a folder where as if the imported body is developed further by other when the FUSION files is opened it re-imports this updated / changed file.

Perhaps not within the scope of the application, but one thing that would be enormously helpful for me would be a simple way to build a mechatronic assembly and then export th kinemetics equations for the system (even just the state space model parameters would be helpful).   Even better would be a way to place sensors and actuators, specify materials and detailed structure of components (or at least their shape and moments), and then export Mathematica / Matlab / C-code fragments for modeling (algebreically or numerically) the system and sensors.   The ideal (though probably practically impossible given the number of possible observers, controllers, and architectures) would be to automatically generate code for things like an LQR controller or feedforward model based controllers.   For example, the user could model a quadrocopter, placing a 9dof sensor (accelerometer / gyro / magnetometer), and four brushless DC motors with speed controllers and then Fusion 360 would figure out the equations governing the system's dynamics, the math for fusing the sensor data to make an IMU and the necessary control code all of which could be exported as C code so someone without significant background in control theory could quickly build and control a complex mechatronic device.

  At present Fusion 360 SCULPT is constrained by its tools.  As a result the models that are being produced tend to look like balloon art rather than the sophisticated forms the market demands.  The solution resides in the quick intuitive and simple movement of points, lines and surface patches.  So what is meant by “simple movement”?  At present we can move scale and slide geometry but many transform moves are not possible.    I need to be able to move any selected geometry in any direction or to any spot desired.  I need a transform tool that allows me to SEPARATLY invoke the movement of point lines and surface patches in the following directions: Orthogonal World space.   Like the current tool move or scale along XYZ axis in model world space.  Where you move to is also selectable.  For instance you hit a hot key to SNAP to Grid Other geometry Construction planes Orthogonal Local space.   Like the current tool move or scale along XYZ axis construction plane Local space Orthogonal normal to Screen View.  Again like the current tools but XYZ are normal to the particular view at the screen at the moment. Transform along surface AKA Slide.  Need a hot key invoked transform that give the choice of movement in: U or V in up or down directions Scale from a set-able point.  This might be the basis for a Falloff function where transforms are selected from a choice of concentric rings around the aforementioned set-able point.  Depending on which ring you selected and at what ”clocked”  point would determine the falloff effect.   Free form movement along surface in the direction of the mouse drag Perpendicular to surface.  So again the same tool moves points, lines or surface patches perpendicular to the normal surface.  Note that this is kind of like the bevel tool but without adding geometry.  It would be nice if adding geometry (like bevel) could be a choice (hot key) when this tool is being used.   Got to get back to work so more later.   Show More
