In light of today's events (see post here), I believe it would be beneficial to allow users to locally store all Fusion files and data.  The data can still be backed up to the server, but is locally stored first.  This would prevent server outages from becoming catastrophic events for businesses, schools, and individuals.  If users did not want to locally store files (due to disk space or other reasons), they could elect not to in Fusion's preferences.  Or perhaps this could be a setting for each folder or project.   Manually, individually backing up files (a current Fusion capability) is not a reasonable solution to this problem.  Not only is it time-consuming and difficult to manage well, it does not currently work for designs that have XREFs.   I personally have no problem using the cloud for storage and computing (such as simulations).  There are some great things that Fusion allows because of this capability.  The lack of local storage as a backup, however, is an issue for me.

I have multiple CNC machines and would love to see nesting. I currently use Alpha Cam, Router Cim, Xilog, and Holzher Hops to program all my different machines. I think Fusion is ripe for being able to tap into this sector of machining. The ability to share, and posts and all the other features have me chomping at the bit. I have made programs with it on one of my routers, but it would be great to create one nest, and be able to tool it and post depending on what machine I want to send it to. Huge time saver, since the actual nesting takes the most time finding the perfect nest, and its also frustrating not having the machine control in some cam packages (HOPS) to be able to do fancy machining Show More

The CAM Feature would be a totally one stop feature if it had a feeds and speeds calculator.  Currently I use GWizard from CNCCookbook.  You can enter in the depth of cut, tool engagement, material, tool information, and how aggressive you want to be in the material removal and it will calculate a feedrate and spindle speed for your cut.  I have found that the GWizard feeds and speeds calculator is very accurate and keeps me from burning up or breaking my tools.  The calculations are not complex and one could easily integrate a feeds and speeds calculator into the CAM within Fusion 360 that could automatically set (with manual override of course) what the feed rate and spindle speed should be.   Having this feature within the CAM would make Fusion 360 CAM a killer program.  I wouldn't need to use any other program to get to gcode from a part drawing.

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

It would be nice to dimension threaded holes in drawings. For example in a drawing of an M6 hole, there is no thread pictured in the drawing and the only way to dimension it, is to manually write "M6" in the Dimension-field. Also it would be nice to picture modelled threaded holes in the drawing with core hole diameter and outside diameter and not with a sketched thread profile. Show More

Currently it isn't possible to use the Centerline command to draw a centerline between two curves.  If I have a drawing for a formed wire like the one below, I need to dimension the centerline of the curve, not the outer or inner radius.      Show More

If you only want to use a single date format, then please use March 1st 2016 instead of the short hand version of the date.    To do this properly though, you should be tying the date & time format into the default unit preferences. Fusion is now starting to grow reasonably well outside of the USA, this type of thing really puts people off.    Hopefully you can get this into the next build or two? Show More

So I want options for text that allow me in a 2d space to follow circular curves, arcs, splines and other non straight lines.

Some industries(Like architecture) use 3D software in order to export drawings which are coloured into for presentation purposes.    Fusion has no control over the maximum thickness of line-weights which would be very helpful. In general exporting with line weights in Fusion generates a very bad quality drawing.   It could also be helpful if the user could set the rate over which a line gets thicker across space. For instance, +.25mm thickness per 80mm of distance from the camera; with a maximum thickness of 1.5mm line weight.      Hope my comment was clear and other people find the issue as important as I do!  Show More

Following the visible user interface in the sketch environment, it currently takes 3 clicks just to launch the rectangle command. That's insane.

Right now there's not a display environment that gives easily legible sketches.   Dimensions with the same color as geometry (see Photo Booth makes it very hard to see what’s what.   There’s an Ideastation request to change dimension leader color, which is a good solution, but surprisingly that didn’t get much traction.   https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-ideastation-request-a/i-d-like-to-change-the-display-color-of-dimension-leaders/idi-p/6771514   Grey Room is much better but it’s too hard to see reference dimensions and underconstrained construction geometry.   Dark Sky is fine in that respect, but the dimensions are the same color as geometry again.   So how about lightening up the reference dimensions and underconstrained construction geometry in Grey Room, and/or making dimensions green in Dark Sky.

This is an example of a completely useless tooltip - adding the words "specifies the" to the field name doesn't make it helpful.  In this case it would be useful to know what the helical ramp diameter is used for and how it affects the cut - how does it relate to the size of the bit?  Is there anything else you can tell me about this setting to help me figure out what its useful values might be?  I'm not really asking about this particular setting, I'm saying that these are the questions that should be asked about every tooltip to make sure it's helpful.   Show More

The project I'm working on includes a library of parts. The parts are known quantities and so once they are modeled, they should never change. I would like a way to lock my Fusion files so they can be opened and looked at, and inserted into other files, but are essentially read-only and can't be modified until unlocked. Show More

As a design engineer at a small CNC machine shop I find myself dealing with many individual clients, each of whom may have several different design/manufacturing projects in the works.   Fusion 360s top-tier "project" file structure allows the creation of folders within a design, but there is currently no way to allocate more than one Fusion360 "project" to a specific client. This means that to have access to common parts and updating links each client's entire panoply of designs and products must be created within a single Fusion360 "project" file with the project being named for the client somehow.   This makes it difficult to set up a standardized set of file associations that related not just to the objects created, but to the client to which they belong.   My first suggestion is that Autodesk create a "wrapper" within which multiple projects can be placed, along with their associated files, that doesn't control the design content but rather can be used to identify the client in some detail, including client name, addresses, email, phone, contacts and any other relevant information related to the owner of the design files contained therein. This way, collaborators can be sure that they are working on the correct client's project, and in addition, an "archive Client" function should allow ALL enclosed client files to be both archived in the cloud AND downloaded to our servers as a complete package that can be backed up and archived off-line in our offices on durable media.   Being able to wrap projects and their designs in a folder that identifies the owners is an important part of managing data in any business, including a small design/manufacturing organization like ours.   The second part of the file management/workflow issue I'd like to bring up is how the file folder structure within a single project file is organized and editable.   In order to standardize our design process I have implemented written standards as to how and where data files are to be placed within the top-tier project level wrapper. I have instituted the following folder structure for each distinct product we design or manufacture: Component Assemblies, Components, Machining Fixtures, Drawings, Renderings, Stock Parts and Obsolete Designs. Within each of these there are directions for further sub-folder arrangements depending on the complexity of the project.   The workflow and data management standards state that the Component Assemblies folder is just that, the folder where ALL assemblies of products, sub-assemblies and component assemblies are to be stored. Any component found in this folder will be linked to the appropriate component file found in the Components folder, which is where ALL in-use components and all of their (automatic) versions are stored and edited.   The purpose of this structure is to make sure that the Component Assemblies folder always contains the latest, greatest and automatically updated version of the product being designed/assembled for production. This allows our graphics and advertising staff to simply open the desired assembly and create renderings, illustrations, exploded renderings or other graphic output needed for both consultation with the client and for marketing. This obviates the need for graphics/advertising/supervisory staff to wade through dozens of revisions, changes and other extraneous files to get a grip on how the final design is proceeding or to create needed graphic materials.   Next is the Machining Fixtures folder into which all designed fixtures for the CNC machine shop are held in appropriately labeled sub-folders to facilitate access to the designs without having to wade through irrelevant design files.   Next are folders for Drawings and Renderings, again used to organize files for ease of access.   Finally is an Obsolete Designs folder where miscellaneous outdated designs, files, drawings or other data that has been superseded can be placed. Our policy prohibits engineers or others from deleting ANY file themselves. All permanent file deletion is reserved to the appropriate Data Manager and placing unwanted files in this folder eases that task.   What appears to be missing in Fusion 360 is a way to create a template of file folders within a project file so that it is not necessary to individually create a half-dozen folders in each new project. Having a file management template creation feature would substantially ease the problem, which now requires substantial time on the part of either an engineer (who often forgets to do it) or a manager to create the standard file management and workflow folder structure for each new client or new product design.   In addition, a hierarchal display of the folders and sub-folders within a project in both the Data Panel and in the online system would make it much easier for users to quickly access the specific files they need to look at. Thus, if one needs to examine the machining fixture for Component A of Product/Design B in Project C for Client X, rather than having to drill down the user can simply see the complete folder hierarchy at a glance, just as one can in both Mac and Windows file manager/finder environments and go directly to the correct folder and even the correct thumbnail/file without having to drill down through the structure as is required right now.   Ours is a small operation, but the present workflow/folder system is so primitive that, having recently been given responsibility for cleaning things up and organizing files, I have weeks of work ahead of me doing so. With a few minor improvements to the workflow/file management system within Fusion360, particularly the "Client" wrapper and the ability to create a file folder structural template will substantially ease future file management bottlenecks.

In my professional engineering life Drawing is the most important thing when I working. As now Fusion 360 offer really small amount of Drawing option to me and I suggest that it need to be improve. Here are my suggestions.   1. Atleast make it so after I convert file to dwg I can use another CAD to edit my drawing. Right now when I export it to another CAD the drawing just appear to have no model line in it. Make it completely unable to edit and in some case can not even open it. (If this was my fault I will be happy if you can point the solution for me. The CAD I use is Draftsight and LibreCAD) 2. Add function so we can manually add line or edit line in each view 3. Let us edit and/or create our own Drawing layout. It is really important for Engineering work. 4. Lacking of welding symblom is really a big no for me. 5. Adding more customize for text and line. (Line size, shape, color etc) 6. More option for center line and center mark. (Orientation basically)   Basically all engineering annotation and advance drawing. (In true if you dont have enough man power for this just allow us to manually edit or just as I write above make dwg file work on other CAD program and I will be happy) Have high hope for this program and appreciate the work you guy done so far. Just this drawing function that really dissatisfy me.   Show More

Hi,   I would like to be able to adapt my toolbars depending on the work that is currently being done.

Hi all   I have great deal of problems with the ability to not being able to zoom more in.   it might sound stupid, but it means a lot when you're projecting in a sketch, and cannot see (or even fix) any gaps in the profile   Why not just let us zoom forever? or at least so that 0.005mm fills the entire screen?   thanks! think it should be easy enough to implement, right?       Show More

Just a small suggestion that would make life a bit easier for some workflows.  I have been cutting a number of large parts out of flat 2mm stock lately and the arrow for indicating which side of a sketch you are cutting during a 2D outline operation is getting very annoying.  The geometry I'm cutting are all sketch outlines and the stock is about a 900mm square.  When selecting the operation geometry it is hard to tell which side of the line the arrow is indicating when zoomed out to see the whole stock (first picture).  So when selecting each outline you have to zoom in (second picture) on each part to make sure you are cutting the correct side of the line.  I suggest using a different arrow style to make this more readable at different zoom levels (third picture).  I apologize for my MS paint graphic skills but I think it describes the style of arrow that would solve this issue.       Zoomed Out - hard to read                                                        Zoomed In - easier to read                                                      Suggested Arrow - easy to read at all zoom levels           Show More

This has idea has been recently archived, but I feel that the Fusion team should seriously consider making User Parameters available across multiple work environments.  This would allow Fusion to become even more fully parametric if this function was available.    I have a few instances where the ability to use parameters inside cam would allow me to make a parametric change to my model and immediately get back into CAM and simply regenerate my tool path and get to cutting.    Here are two examples.   The first example . As you can see there are 3 instances of my pattern, however, sometimes we use 2 or 4 instances.  On another product line we range from 2-8 instances.  If I could use my User Parameter in the Patten --> Number of Instances box I wouldn't have to go in and change it after I update my model, I could simply regenerate my toolpath and start cutting.          The second example, (see PocketDepth picture).  I would like to have my tool take two roughing cuts, half of the cut on each cut.  I would like to have this formula in my Multiple Depths box.  (PocketDepth/2)  When we change the Pocket Depth on our model this would automatically update the Adaptive Clearing Max Depth per pass.                Show More

Hi,   currently when mirror a body you can only create a new body mirrored, even when you want a joined mirror body.

All the time I get warnings that a sketch is overconstrained when it's not. For example I can add a dimension and it will tell me that it creates an over constraint but if I delete that dimension I can move the sketch freely in many directions.   When there are overconstraints it should show what the conflicting constraints are.   It would also be really nice if the sketch changed color when it was fully constrained.     Show More

I save my work a lot due to the fact that I still can't trust Fusion 360 to remain stable for very long.   Sometimes I just want to save without naming or confirming anything. I could let Autosave do that for me, but I can only set Autosave to save every 15 minutes or more. I consider it a good day if Fusion 360 stays crash free for more than 10 minutes.   Even if I could set Autosave to save every 60 seconds, I'd still want to be able to simply press Cmd+S (or CTRL+S) and continue without being taken out of my flow to confirm the save.   What motived me to suggest the idea?

What I would REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like to see for Fusion is a "send feedback" button.  When you press this button it will:   - take a screen shot - allow you to enter a description of the issue you are having - allow you to include other pictures and files if needed - allow you to fill in an email address or other contact information - provide a check box for whether you want to be notified of updates regarding the issue (including a ticket number and status changes) - send all of the above information along with the current and all referenced design files directly to Fusion support   The forum is great, especially when you can share files publicly.  But it does take significantly more work than a simple feedback button would.     C| Show More

For move and rotate if possible also scale   Otherwise that feature is pretty pointless and dumb - dumb because it only functions as a marker but when editing the feature does not tell you how far you have rotated or moved so you as a user can guess what you did 3 weeks ago.   The fact is the features remember that because in the timeline when you move forward and back the values selected are applied by the feature. so why not expose that inside the UI instead of giving the user always empy value fields?!   Makes sense doesnt it?!   if I rotate an object I do not want to be forced to later measure the degree I rotated with.     so when I entere the rotation value   I think the feature should remember this and next time I edit it should still show it     Blender Rhino or Alias can do it!

When you project an object into a sketch you get Purple lines to work with.   If you delete - or radically alter - the geometry of that original object those lines remain but turn YELLOW.   Sometimes deleting all those yellow lines in a sketch can really be a pain:   1) usually they're mixed up with your sketch lines and with valid purple project lines that you want to keep;   2) F360 seems to be fussy about how you select a line for deletion, eg you can't select an accessible endpoint but must select the body of the line. Sometimes that's awkward!   I think it would be great to have a shortcut / menu option to simply "delete all expired / invalid / yellow projection lines from this sketch". Then one can get on with the proper job of creation.   Below an example image showing yellow lines that must be deleted from a sketch.   Show More

I write this with a spinning wheel of death in the background.   When Fusion hangs and lags for what seems to be an indefinite period of time, and you find yourself staring at the unfeeling spinning wheel of death and knowing there is no way to take back control other than a force quit.

Over the last two updates I noticed that there are always users that have problems, right now, with 2.0.1557, I see that some onboard chips are giving users problems, which are not minor, they are unable to start F360.   So, my suggestion would be to have a two tier approach, where you opt-in into the test tier, you get the latest-greatest before everybody else, but you also venture yourself as a guinea pig. A week (?) after, those on the stable channel get the update, by then big issues should have been resolved, if they haven't the update is delayed until they do. This second tier would be recommended for people that favour stability and that their livelyhood depends more on F360 working. Or, say, you are doing a very important project and so you flip the switch to the stable channel.  There will always be a high percentage that will want to have the bleeding edge, so there will always be a lot of 'testers'. Right now, we are all on the test channel. 🙂 Show More

It would be great to change the direction of the dimension landing line (image below for definitions).   Fusion allows one to change the direction of the leader line, but the landing line seems pre-determined.  It is often placed in a direction that I would consider unhelpful or wrong.   This idea was created from this post.  Show More

Toggle between normal lines and Construction lines during sketch (i.e. on the fly) by pressing an appropriate key such as Ctrl / Command or Tab rather than completing a line or shape and then right clicking it to select the option.

I understand how the scaling feature works but its not exact enough. I dont understand why the imported scale is so large. Maybe you could build a box to the exact outer dimensions of your AI file so when you import it, it fills to those dimensions?

In HSMWorks, you can drag and drop a tool from one operation to another, and have the toolpath updated to use the new tool.

It'd be awesome if we could drag and drop operations within that UI to reassign the tool being used. Show More

When working with sheetmetal and machined parts with many holes I really like using hole chart/table tools to declutter drawings and allow more information.

Hi Fusion. Gotta say F360 is brillant, best thing since sliced bread   I use it with a DIY 3 axis cnc table that works both as router and as a plasma table. Designed using Fusion   When I used Fusion for plasma cutting I have a problem with cutting sharp angles. The issue is that the plasma jet (and I assume water jet) has a lag of about 15 degrees. so when you take a sharp 90 degree turn it take a while for the jet to catch up. This leads to a under cut, negative rake. So when viewed side on the cut is not 90 degree to the Z plane but at an angle of about 75 degrees   The solution appears to be instead of going round the corner you over shoot, then come back at 45 degrees and then start the next edge. See the red line in the image below.      By overshooting the corner and then have a new lead in allows the jet time to catch up   The corners look sharp when looking at the Z plane. But when looking at the X or Y plane a distinct angle is visible   Happy to wait since I generally only cut 3mm steel and its not to noticeable   Keep up the great work   Andy   Show More

I like to be tidy, I therefore like to delete obsolete designs. Each time I try to delete a design I get "A version of this design has been referenced by drawings or other designs and cannot be deleted". I am the only person accessing these designs so if I want to delete them, regardless of the consequences I should be allowed to, leaving obsolete designs on the desktop can lead to a wrong issue being used. Alternatively allow easy access to the referenced versions so they can be deleted correctly. Show More

Hi all,   With the latest Fusion update, we're introduced with the Object to Cut feature and it's definitely a welcomed addition as we now don't have to go all ninja mode in isolating or turning on/off other components that shouldn't be affected by the cut feature.   One slight improvement I would like is for the dialog box to automatically be shown when more then 1 body/component is affected by the operation as sometimes we could miss out some obstructing component, and the current implementation requires us to press the triangle button each time.   Default is shown this way which is not so good as sometimes the user might missed out seeing that the operation actually affected other component/body It'll be nice if it's open by default or it'll open when more then 1 body/component is affected by the operation Hopefully this simple idea will get enough votes to be implemented. Thanks Show More

At the moment in Fusion 360, if you start with a Box primitive, you select a plane, then it goes straight into a 2-point rectangle.

Given the sensitivity of the designs we build on Fusion 360, I think it is critical that security be increased. There are 3 important areas of improvement for me. 1: Two-Factor Authentication 2: Identify verification for password reset 3: Manage connected or “authorized” devices I’ll go a bit more in depth with my concerns, and how they might be addressed. 1: Two-factor authentication is a well proven, reliable way to significantly increase security of any web based application. My preference would be an authenticator app based approach with SMS to a primary and secondary phone as a backup. (Losing a phone sucks, but it sucks worse if you can’t log into any of your critical web apps). (Printed backup codes should be a contingency plan). See how Shopify implements their authentication. 2: Currently, performing a password reset is a significant weakness of Fusion 360. There is no type of identity verification at all. Anyone with access to your email account would be able to reset your password, gain access to your Autodesk account and literally own everything (including being able to block you out of your own account). I think it is safe to say that many people have 3 devices with nearly constant access to email (PC, tablet, Phone). In a design team of 5 people, that means there are likely 15 or more devices at any given time that if in the wrong hands could at minimum gain access to any share design data, and at most deny that user access to their account through password/email setting changes. Password resets need to be taken seriously. CAPTCHA should be required to even start the password reset password (Currently not required, meaning its dead simple for a bot to be involved in the process). Some form of identity verification needs to be required prior to resetting a password. It could be predefined security questions, a code texted to the user’s phone, billing zip code, last 4 of billing card, company name (Preferably a combination of several items). Fusion 360 is using levels of security (as in none) I’d expect to see 10-15 years ago. A Facebook or YouTube account is more secure than a fusion 360 account that is expected to hold a company’s greatest asset, its intellectual property . 3: After I log into Fusion 360 from a mobile device or a PC, there is a certain amount of time that the specific login session is active. I can open Fusion 360 on my PC, then close it and open it again without entering the password. There may be a setting I’m not aware of to control this functionality, but if multiple devices can be signed in at any given time, the user should be able to manage those devices and have the option of ending any current session (Requiring the user to login again to fusion 360). If an account is ever compromised, we need the ability to restrict access to the data. This also comes into play if I was to log into my own account from a coworkers computer, but forgot to logout prior to leaving. There are other areas of security that I feel need more attention from the Fusion 360 team, but those are related to more advanced items like user rights/permissions for specific projects and team structure and I expect those to be something that is refined long term. However, The 3 items mentioned above (Especailly #2) are basic tools for increased web app security that most of us use on a daily basis. In my opinion, Fusion 360 needs to have better security than my bank. Money can be replaced, but you cannot undo the damage caused by stolen intellectual property. Once it is gone, it is gone. I believe Fusion 360 has a lot going for it and is well positioned to be the dominant player in affordable cloud based systems, but these security issues will prevent me from adopting it in any business function until they are resolved.

Please add "to next" as an option for defining extents of extrusions. This is a normal option in competitor products and is indispensible in some situations. For example, extruding up to a non-planar face or one that isn't parallel to the sketch plane, particularly with a thin walled surface.    Without this option, the extrusion may emerge on the other side of the body before it has fully merged with the incident face. Without "to next" there is no easy work around.

I want to use the Hole tool to create a second hole on an object that is referenced to the center of an existing hole.  Currently the Hole tool does not allow selecting the existing hole as a reference point.       See my screencast below and at this linked thread that shows my attempt to select the center (or any) geometry of an existing hole to be a reference for a second hole: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/design-validate-document/hole-tool-selecting-center-of-existing-hole-for-reference/td-p/6742493   -Tom       Show More

 It seems to me that Parasolid is a more prefered export format than STEP if possible. Show More

Hello    A great feature to add to the already great supported canned cycles for drilling,tapping, boring, etc would be to add the support for lathe cycles. Maybe start off small with G70, G71 for roughing and finishing profile turning and progress from there. The information for the cycles are already being input in the operation drop down boxes, all that would be required is modification to the post for the syntax of the Gcode.    I think given the sheer number of users with fanuc controlled machines, this would put a big smile on their collective faces  O0004 G00 X200 Z10 M3 S800 G71 U2 R1 F200 G71 P80 Q120 U0.5 W0.2 N80 G00 X40 S1200 G01 Z-30 F100 X60 W-30 W-20 N120 X100 W-10 G70 P80 Q120 M30 Show More

If you want to reuse a set of drawing sheets with defined views, details and section views for variants of a component (elementary parts, assemblies) it is currently not possible to copy the drawing, relink it to the new variant and to simply update the drawing sheets with the content of the new variant. It would be beneficial to have the feature to control the link between component (3D) and drawing (2D)   regards tobias   Show More

I would like to know which of my files are synced and which are still uploading/syncing.   A simple color change on the part icon would be enough.   Show More

I find that after an update is pushed to Fusion 360 users. I have multiple copies laying around my hard drive. Some of which take more than a GB of drive space...   Show More

I've been an advocate for the cloud environment but...   The other day one of my colleagues moved some folders using the web interface. Once it informed him they were moved, he walked over to my workstation to inform me of the changes. I started browsing the new location in Fusion and the files started disappearing before my eyes before the whole folder was gone. All said, I'm now missing what I believe is 40-50 files. We've got a call in with support but, now starting on day 3 these files are still missing.   Services like Dropbox have a way to go in and undelete files/undo changes. This would be really freakin handy. It would also be nice if there was a way to go in and quickly select entire projects or all projects and create an archive one could save locally. Lastly it should be a lot easier to, in events like this, get a backup from your end. Show More

My request its very simple, I would like to have the ability to create a diameter dimension on a circular pattern, where you pick the center of the main circle first and the diameter of any circle on the circular pattern, thanks. Show More
