it is really frustrating when you need to create a bunch of geometries just to snap to a point on a geometry. Autocad offers really good snapping features. This Improves productivity dramatically. Also, polar snapping is a very convenient tool.    I request Team Fusion to please consider adding following features if possible: 1. Snapping to different geometries like midpoint, quadrant of circles, the intersection of lines, etc.  2. "Ortho" feature which restricts cursor in horizontal and vertical directions only. 3. Polar snap which has a set of angles which the cursor snaps to.   I've attached pictures to explain the exact feature just in case the reader doesn't understand. Regards!     Show More

I think its time to implement text along an arc. I've searched and this has been an issue for over 2 years. Come on Fusion team, how hard is it really to make text along an arc. Create text select a radius or circle or arc for it to follow, give a spacing option between the letters than BAM! done.    Pretty sad that MasterCam  from the 90's can do this but Fusion cant..

Hey guys,   to stay short and easy, please add a title block to the drawing section that is at least like the one for Inventor. The ISO title block is not a title block at all and specially here in Germany this is a massive problem for the customer. I already redesigned a title block like the Inventor one (look down below the text) but now I am not able to add a company logo to it. And it should not be the task for the customer to create a real ISO title block when he owns Fusion. So please add this ASAP.   Best regards from Germany   Chris   Show More

Right now, when a fillet / rule fillet / shell fails, a window pops up saying that the fillet could not be done, but there is no feedback exactly where the operation failed.  99% of the fillet could be OK but that 1% is what makes the entire operation fail.   Please highlight where that failure is (I think you already have that red highlighting in the Sculpt environment when a sculpt object self-intersects, for instance).   Here is an egregious example where (of course) the fillet would fail...but many times the failure is on some very small part of and edge that is not easily seen.  I am also confident that there are other operations like this, but fillet / rule fillet / and shell come to mind (maybe Thicken? Chamfer?).   The priority for me, though is the fillets!     Show More

I feel since a very long time color contrasts and colors for UI elements in Fusion are a weak part.   If we could define color values for UI elements our self we could not only adjust it to our liking but also create color contrasts that works better for our eyes. Show More

Fusion needs advanced UV texturing tools so you can texture an object accurately.   Screen cast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byzv_NlyKp_2SHBPUDJhZi1waVU/view   Currently this is what Fusion provides: Faces are not stitched together into the correct flow, The bend structure is textured with a planar image and thus does not show the bend flow   It seems loft makes a trimmed planar face and does not loft (sweep 2 rails correctly and also forgets to produce the needed UV coordinates) When rebuilding the loft (sweep 2 rails) in MOI you get the correct UV mapping.       For furniture design this is what you want to be able to produce via rendering:   Show More

I think the Combine tool should be able to select more than one body as the Target Body when the operation is set to Cut. In the example below I'd like to select the 3 rectangles and cut the cylinder out. I could use Boundary fill set to intersect but that takes twice as many clicks and is not as obvious an option.   Mark Show More

dpar15 brought this to my attention, you can't switch the direction in the chamfer tool when using the distance and angle. I'm sure a lot of people need this. I know I am one of them. I know there are work arounds but it wastes time. Show More

Just had a project that requires an M29 x 3 thread. But nope no 29mm thread. Why aren't all thread options available?  With metric threads especially a custom thread should be easy. If I want to make a 30.2mm thread there really is no reason I shouldn't just be able to tell it to do that. But regardless every mm or even .5mm should be available in the drop down if there is no option for a custom thread pitch.  Also more thread pitches should be available. For example ISO trapezoidal should offer more possible thread pitches and all thread pitches for all diameters. Like 40mm offers 10, 7, and 3 but 50mm offers 12, 8 and 3. 55 offers 14, 9 and 3. Not only should trapezoidal threads be available in every mm diameter but the thread pitch should list all possible options.  I have given up on the ideastation so I really don't post here anymore but this one is such BS I just had to.  Show More

In Inventor when measuring a STL mesh body, Inventor would do a pretty good job detecting features of the object. Things like faces, circles, and the like - See the following picture for what I mean. In Fusion360 I just get to measure point to point. It would be very nice to have this sort of detection and measurements inside Fusion360. Show More

Hey guys,   another point on my list are some drawing features I am missing. In Inventor there is the possibility to cut through the object to make it fit on the paper. I also miss the feature to make a cut to see where my bearings are or where my parallel key sits. One more thing is the option to cut out a quarter of a shaft for example. These are simple features but we really need them to create a good drawing over here in Germany.   Check out the examples below:                               Show More

The best example that comes to mind is the modeling of a globoid gear! Modeling that in Fusion would require a level of skills in the realm of gods! I’m not sure if it’s even currently possible in Fusion.   This is a globoid gear (the gray one):     Now, let’s imagine that to start with, the globoid gear is a full cylinder and we want tu sculpt it using the orage gear. Creat à motion link between both object’s revolut joints where the gear would turn 120 degrees for each 360 degrees of the cylinder. Open super exiting new motion cutting tool that every body loves! Choose boring gray cylinder as target body Choose orage gear has tool buddy  Choose motion link has motion feference Hit Ok Boring gray cylinder is now beautiful globoid worm gear!!! Of cours, the globoid gear is only an example, it could be used for all sorts of things! It would literally open up a hole new world of possibilities!

Sometimes there is too much on the page of a drawing.

PLEASE. THIS IS BASIC FUNCTIONALITY.  I would definitely consider hole callouts to be one of the most important features of a drawing environment. I would place this far above feature control frames, with similar importance to linear dimensions.   I see you had it on the 2016 roadmap, but where is this functionality? I'm getting really tired of typing hole callouts.   Hole tables would be pretty nice (required) too. Thanks!  Show More

The current implementation of non-indexed 4th axis in CAM is pretty limited:   --it only supports 2d adaptive, pocket & Contour  --it only works on a cylindrical surface.   I'd like to see Autodesk expand its capabilities, to allow the generation of 4th axis toolpaths for shapes that are non-cylindrical and/or asymmetric.   For example, I need to make a part that has a helix that spirals outward. That's a perfect application for a full 4 axis CAM toolpath.   I just checked out the current roadmap & there is no mention of any 4th axis improvements... 😞 Show More

Some months ago, I stumbled on Antinomy and was really impressed : https://vimeo.com/125111378   When i saw it, i said to myself "****, i wish i could have this in F360 !". Several weeks later, gess what ? I find out that Autodesk has something similar : Dynamo ! And it's open-source ! But it's not in F360 (too bad !)   Guys, this would bring F360 to a all new level of parametric design and design exploration. I want a Dynamo mode in F360 !   Right now, you can use it outside.

Fusion 360 Turkish language support is strongly recommended. It is not very logical to ignore the fact that the Turkish language support is not supported by Fusion 360, especially when the late population of the country hosts many schools and educational institutions in the country. Certainly not the student population located in Turkey, the country's population with less, and when it is deemed to have the support of the languages of the nations, does not make sense at all! For this reason, I wish the support of Fusion 360 Turkish language support soon!   Ali Osman GÜLER Show More

When entering an equation that involves only numbers Fusion 360 should return a result in the dimension box. Currently the equation remains in the dimension box.   Often times when I'm working I know I want to adjust a value by a certain amount. It's quicker to type +1 in if I'm adding a n inch to something rather retyping in a new value. I also thinks it helps to prevent transposition type mistakes when changing values.   The other thing is that when you return to a design after a long absence or if you work on somebody elses design that has entered values as equations there can be a great deal of confusion about what's going on.   If the equation has another dimension or parameter in it then it should remain an equation because then the design intent has created a dependancy to another value.   Show More

Sometimes a design change will break projected curves in a sketch, they turn yellow. We need a way to reselect the lost edges, deleting then reprojecting loses all of the constraints\dimensions referencing the projected curves.   Thanks Mark Show More

Minha sugestão é inserir na opção "Plane Along Path" a opção de distância em milimetros, ao inves de ser uma distancia baseada em um percentual. Hoje a janela de configuração apresenta o item "Distance" ma na realidade se trata de um cálculo que vai de 0 até 1 (0 = 0% / 0.5 = 50% / 1 = 100%). Isto confunde e faz com que o projetista não utilize este método por não ter a certeza da dimensão total o caminho.   My suggestion is to insert the "Plane Along Path" option into the distance option in millimeters, rather than being a distance based on a percentage. Today the configuration window presents the item "Distance" but in reality it is a calculation that goes from 0 to 1 (0 = 0% / 0.5 = 50% / 1 = 100%). This confuses and causes the designer to not use this method because he is not sure of the total dimension the path.   Neste exemplo, o comprimento total do caminho é de 222,055mm. Nas imagens abaixo, demonstro uma simulação com as duas opções, percentual e outra com o dimensional em milímetros. Desta forma o projetista terá mais precisão e controle sobre a criação do plano.   In this example, the total path length is 222.055mm. In the images below, it shows a simulation with the two options, percentage and another with the dimensional in millimeters. In this way the designer will have more precision and control over the creation of the plan.   Imagem01: Exemplo da versão atual   Imagem 02: Exemplo da possível melhoria (Percentage: 0.40 = 40% e Distance: 0,88mm)   Imagem 03: Exemplo da possível melhoria (Percentage: 0.76 = 76% e Distance: 168,762mm) Show More

Hello, when you create drawing and place Base view, you can set pretty much anything, but it will not update the view. You have to "click" OK and then open the editing window again. Now after you change the appearance setting, it can be seen right away. Autodesk told me that its a not bug and this is intentional... So can we please change it? It doesnt make any sense and it adds more unnnesecary clicks.   You can see the unwanted behavior on this animation: Show More

In real life, many times you have to deal with cables/hoses of a fixed length, which you have no way to change. But, you want to model the best path,  for those cables/hoses. It would be nice to have a feature allowing to give a fixed length to a spline, still allowing to modify at will the path, but with no changes in length. Pretty sure it would have a lot of uses. Thanks for your consideration, Bernard Show More

Its very annoing to make a chamfer to a 3d modeled thread hole or shaft. Please include a tool that simplifys that.   Right now I only can draw a triangle and revolve this as cut away to the thread, but this takes a lot of time compared to the champfer tool. If I use the chamfer tool it has no valid edge to use it on the thread.   Show More

Currently, moving timeline objects in and out of timeline groups is not possible, and requires deleting the group first and then creating a new group and possibly renaming it. Too convoluted for a task that should be a simple case of drag-and-drop.   Should be fairly self-explanatory but I'm including a screencast anyway. Sorry if I speak too slowly---English is not my first language!       This had previously been suggested on IdeaStation about 3 years ago, but the idea was archived due to lack of votes, since I've only used Fusion 360 for about 3 months, I didn't get to upvote that one, so I'm resurrecting it here.   I'd also like to propose groups within groups in the timeline. I realise this may not be considered "essential" but I"ve encountered situations where sub-groups would have made a lot of sense. Show More

Often times when moving segments in a sketch, nothing happens because constraints prevent it. Other times, adding a constraint fails and an error shows that "other" constraints keep you from adding this one. It would be fantastic if we could get a visual queue showing what constraints are in effect, for example by highlighting them in red when performing the action. Thanks so much! Show More

At the moment you can by only one hundred of cloud credits. In Germany it costs 136Euros and expires one year after buying it. Think this is not correct and fair! If i buy something then it is mine. It is the same i go to the bank and get some money and the bank employees say's "hey after a year the notes have no value". For a small shop that have not daily rendering's  or simulations it would be welcome to have smaller amounts of cloud credit values. For example, the autodesk shop can offer beginning from 10 and end up in 1000 in an attractive price range, or the credits never expire. So for a small shop like mine if i buy 100 cloud credits i can not use them all, and throw my money out of the window. That could be the reason why small shop's don't buying CC's!  Show More

Hello,   I am returning to provide Drawing Workspace feedback after perhaps 12 months, which have not been addressed yet. The point of this post is to reiterate key drawing functions that need to be implemented and inversely drawing components in the current Fusion 360 drawing module that need to be eliminated.   Comparison Criteria: I have used a number of drawing softwares over the years. AutoDesk products and Dassault. Of those, Solidworks has been one of the smoothest most fluent tools for generate a print. It is fast, clean, powerful, and easy. That said, much of my basis for criteria will be similar to SW.    Assumptions and Reality: The market for F360 is primarily hobbyist / small business customers, I am assuming. With a minority of it's market being medium to large businesses. Nonetheless, this software is being sold and used commercially. We can agree on that... Because its being used commercially and sold for a price, I would assume Autodesk's intent for F360 is to be a serious drawing tool? As in -- used in the real world?    Reality is that 2D drawings remain the international engineering standard for conveying mechanical part requirements. The 2D drawing is the end-all, be-all in most manufacturing environments. And will be for a long time. You can sculpt and design all you want. You can be a pro! But if you can't put that on paper... forget it.   Fusion's Drawing environment is the most under-developed, most-lacking component in it's suite. My opinon: forget all the fancy-dancy other stuff thats being developed in other modules and put them on HOLD. Those workspaces are more than adequate today.    With that said, I hope you will not just consider my ideas below, but you will actually pursue them. Allocate resources to get these things done. Thank you.   DISCLAIMER:  If any of the below has been resolved or is resolve-able as the software stands today, please let me know. Thanks 1.) Fluency  Worst part of Drawing in F360 is how terribly choppy performance is-- object flickering, "grid-like" movement of objects in the space. This module should be so efficient that its like pushing a hockey puck on a smooth sheet of ice, or dragging a desktop icon to another spot. Real-time feedback when you drag an object, and fluent movement. P.S. I'm on a very powerful machine.   2.) Snapping Dimensions Snapping dimensions is a feature no one wants. Its cumbersome and annoying. A dim should be placed and able to be moved freely wherever, with very few constraints.    3.) Construction Geometry via Sketch You can't construct geometry with a sketch. This is blasphemy! You are selling this product commercially and cannot construct geometry with a sketch?    4.) View Labeling Lets allow custom view designators. "Section View A-A 1:1"... What if I want "Section View S-S 1:1" Why can't I change A to S?    5.) Section View I've never seen something so difficult. Make it easy like SW did... Select the type of section view you want:  Horizontal, Vertical, or Custom. One point to snap the section view line to and wah-lah. Custom would be how you have it now (a "free" type of section view where you can define a more irregular profile. ).   6.) Break View Lets implement break view. This is critical.    7.) Detail Views are ugly  Make details views like SW. They know detail views... The view perimeter options should be:  Round, Square, or From Construction. The style options should be:  Arrows (current), With Leader, or No leader.  Other options should be:  No border.   8.) Auto Linear Dimension Alignment Rather than click "Aligned Dimension" Fusion 360 should give me the option of aligned or vertical/horizontal. This is relatively easy code, I imagine. Check to see if the elements are vertically or horizontally aligned, if not, turn on aligned dimension.    9.) Default Drawing Settings There should be an entire list of defaults you can adjust. Examples might be: Section View Label text size, Styles for Views, etc.   Conclusion: Well, that is all for today. More to be added to this post as time goes on. Please implement these features. Afterall, its the drawing that is what matters!    Thanks for listening,     Regards Show More

I really need a custom thread function (I design all kinds of bottle closures) where you can create a custom thread by sweeping a sketched profile along a helix without rotating or twisting. Something like this is now available, but you have to use a third party add-in that creates a approximation of a helix. When you use this "helix" you get all kinds of problems because of the inaccuracy of the approximated helix. The custom thread feature of Inventor or the helix function found in Soildworks (create helix from circle) would be fine! Show More

Often are the occasions when I would like to paste multiple instances of the same component, snapping them to other components.  Currently I do this by repeating the copy/paste point to point command, which is time consuming.   I would propose that when copying from point to point, multiple target points may be selected.   Thanks for your consideration.

For all the (many) customers, who are depending on F360 for their business, the outage a few weeks ago, was a bad experience.   I think it would be really useful, if you in Fusion 360 could choose to set up replication folder locally, where all your data was always stored locally too and if you have more installations / users you could choose a local network drive for that purpose that would enable continued access to own and shared files from all workstations on the local network.   I can only imagine how frustrating it must be not to be able to produce for a day because you cannot get to your files.     Show More

It would be great to have the abilty to create a new name for Parameters when placing a new Sketch Dimension. At the moment Fusion 360 records them as d1, d2, d3 etc. which is fine, but a lot of the time it makes things easier to have names, i.e. Length, Width, Height.   In Inventor you can name the Parameter, whilst creating and placing the sketch dimension, which saves a lot of time downstream. To do this you would type 'Length = 100' etc. Do this in Fusion 360, and it doesn't work.   Show More

A feature that is in Geomagic Design that I really like is the ability to make simple measurements by just selecting edges and sufarces.  there is a small context window that gives information when an edge, surface, point, etc. is selected.   Edge: Lenght or diameter Face: Area Point: X,Y,Z location 2 Faces: distance or angle between 2 Edges: distance or angle between the ability to show dual units would be helpful too (mm and inches)   Show More

Just a reminder to an old suggestion that Fusion 360 sketch really needs a CV curve so designers have better control over the curves they create.   Splines are great as two point curves to create G1 or G2 blend curves but for sculpting smooth profiles it is a less effective and efficient tool.   What is a click click done in Alias or Rhino is a painful adjust here adjust there adjust here adjust there and it still does not low well.     Here is a screencast showing how different the two curve tools work:   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byzv_NlyKp_2alRoREhjVmJab0U/view     In Fusion 360 the splines are really great to be used as blend curves but for sculpting as shown in the video they are really hard to manage. Show More

Frequently, when updating objects that appear early in the editing history, projected sketch lines will lose their link to the updated geometry, causing cascading failures throughout the assembly. There is currently no mechanism for telling Fusion "The line you lost is here now", so trying to repair the assembly is nearly impossible. Fusion should have an interface for clarifying any lost projections, misplaced joints, and any other references to geometry that might have changed due to edits to the history or changes to externally linked models.

  Ability to generate additional Physical/Mass Properties of a model (e.g. to be used for Manufacturing, Quality Inspection, CAE, and model integrity validation purposes when importing to or exporting from Fusion 360). In addition to the physical properties already calculated by Fusion 360, Moments of Inertia and Center of Gravity (Center of Mass) should also be included. Also, the ability to export all physical properties to a textual format that can be imported into a database, or compared to physical properties from original model already stored in system database to validate design integrity of any derivative models.
