Make tool selection 'sticky' by double clicking on a tool when selecting it. The tool will then be available for use repeatedly until another tool is selected. A single click of a tool will only make the tool 'intermittent' and single use with the tool reverting to a selection guide (current behaviour)   For example of how this behaviour is used in existing software see OmniGraffle and the other Omni suite of products.     Show More

When inserting a compoent from file  or using Paste new for components copied from another file it would be useful to have a option to re-use parameters of the same name if they are already defined in the target document.     Fusion 360  currently creates a new copy of the paramter such as vspar_width if paste new form a document that also has one it will create vspar_width_1,  vspar_width_2 etc for every time it is inserted.      I understand wanting to avoid the name conflict but in many instance if vspar_width is already defined I want to use the values already present.  This will make re-using parametric components across assemblies easier since they can self adjust to the target.     This should not be confused with a simple paste which pastes by reference.   In this instance I really do want a new and unique copy of the object that can be independantly edited without affecting the source  but I want it to re-use the common parameters I already defined in the assembly when doing so.      This should not be the default behavior but rather presented either as a "paste new reuse exisitng parms" option or pop up that occurs when fusion finds the first parameter with a name conflict so I can decide.  You could add a settings option to disable the popup with assumed "yes" or assumed "no" for those who don't want to see it every time.    I tend to use the same shared variable between many compoents so they can auto adjust cooperatively in the target.  For example the actual spar will render it self with the vspar_width to fit the target while another component that places decking between the spar and  edge of the deck can use this information to figure out how much decking is needed.     I already know your default answer is to do the same thing by defining the components all in the master assembly.  This answer  is fundementally not scalable when similar components are used by many assemblies and still need to auto adjust to the assembly.    If you use components defined in each assembly document you loose the changes that where made to improve the components as a result you still have to copy and paste between them.     Another good option would be the ability to add components by refernce so they can auto update based on a change to the master.  Even with the add by reference you still want the option to use parameters already present in the assembly rather than defining new ones.    I have found fusion 360 buggy with regular crashes and high isk of  lost work.  The risk  goes up the longer you work in a given work space.   I have had many multi-day losses when 360 decided to loose some linkages between the sketch and the bodies and then corrupted the drawings so bad they had to be redone from scratch after the redefine operation.    This kind of corruption occurs even without crashes but they are more common after crashes.     This is most common when you have defined the sketch relative to the face of another object.    Net, net the only way I have found to avoid the wasted work  is to keep smaller components in individual files where that tend not to get corrupted and then insert them from the file menu to produce the assembly.    By doing this in tiers of larger complexity assemblies I can mitigate the data corruption issues.  Of course fixing the bugs woudl be even better but you still need to handle the issue of components that really do need to be shared between many assemblies and which need to adjust to the settings already present in that assembly.  Show More

Hi, I'd like to sort the order of the various components in the Browser window to find easily the parts I need. Sort by: - name - status on-off - locked/unlocked (selectable) - components/grouped components - physical material - material (appearance)   If the Browser has a long list and we need to find from the 3d design the component we have to double click and then select the command "find in the browser". I'd like to have a function that scrolls automatically the list and focus the selected component after a double click.   regards Show More

Hello,  I realized I posted this feedback in a worong thread, and I would like to have feedback from the community on the following idea   FUsion 360 seems to a be promising product, and your team seems to be active and motivated to do its best. Yet it still seems to me, that at the current stage, fusion 360 is more a product for fast prototyping and collaboration between designers and engineers, rather than something designed for very complicated mechanical designs (it gets exponentially confusing with the complexity).   Some examples: -sketches get extremely confusing quite fast (constraints, dimensions and sketch lines all have same colors, widths, cannot be toggles separately, etc.) -sketches are not associated with their respective extrusion, as it is the case in traditional CAD software, when a part has more than 10 sketches, it blows you mind -no feedback when problem occurs -> parts overconstraint OK, but where ?? -too much time spend on clicking... no hotkeys ?   I am curious to have the opinion of a maximum of people   Best L Show More

Ok... It is a free software and it is a great software, actually, it would be a great software if just didn't crash all the times!!! The fact that is a free software does not mean that you can deliver unstable applications. I use Fusion for my personal hobby, building drones, but of the many projects I have started I could barely complete only one because then it started crashing and crashing and crashing... The fact that this problems must be known makes it even worse. I don't use this application professionally, but if I had to choose a professional application I would never choose Fusion 360 as I already know that I would never be able to complete my projects.   Thank you for reading.

I create a patch and automatically it's stitched.   regards Show More

Fusion has a zoom command and a fit command. A feature I have used often in SW is the "zoom to fit box". Where you draw a box around what you want to see and the command zooms right to it! Show More

I like that there is the option for the Acme threads in the "Threads Command", but I can't really use them as the parts I work with use Acme Threads that are above 5", so I can't use the "Acme Thread" command in the software.  I would like to see if you could add additional sizes that would go up to atleast 10" in diameter would be very helpful for my application.  Also if there was a drop down or something to give the thread a "Thread Per Inch (TPI)" command so we could actually see how many threads are going on that particular surface.    Gread job on the software and look forward to continuing to use it...   Thanks Again!

While trying to model 3D relief like surfaces, I realized it would probably be a quite useful tool to have option of offsetting a T spline loop, instead of only being able to translate, rotate and scale.  This is important for say a complexly curved T spline cylinder extruded along a sketch, and then trying to have the cylinder curve inwards along to z direction.  Scaling one of the T spline loops to be smaller does not really work for a fairly curvy geometry like the letter H attached (I can attach image of problem situation if needed).  I can sometimes get what I'm looking for by creating an offset of the sketch, and using that to Pull the T spline edge loop to it, but I think it would sure be nice to just have a direct offset option for T spline edges.     I am happy that I found for using the awesome CAM on complex 3D reliefs that importing relief meshes and converting to T spline and then solid body works pretty well.   Show More

Often I'm finding that I'm repeating offsets on both sides of a curve, the same distance. It would be useful if there was an option in the panel to allow you to specify that you want symmetrical offsets. Show More

It would be great if I could have another orbit mode which will let me "fly" the camera instead of manipultating the object. Maya / Google earth does it pretty well. I find myself moving an rotating the object quite a bit during sketches to get the impression of it from many directions, with 3DConnexion the orbit is practially free all the time and gets really confusing when the origin is not centered correctly.   In other words, imagine I'm flying a drone above my scene / object and I want to fly it around using my 3DConnexion mouse, get inside the object, look around, fly out of an openning, turn around and look back, slide to the side... much like a 1st person shooter game mode 🙂   BTW same feature for Inventor would be great as well!   Love Fusion 360! thanks for a great application.

We use screen captures a lot when discussing projects.  It would be really helpful to have a command that would save a screen capture directly to the design's project so that it can then be viewed and discussed in A360. Show More

It would be really nice to be able to section and measure between part model and machined stock in CAM simulate. Show More

Select a bunch of objects, click Fit-selected, and it zooms and centers the selected items and creates a temporary center point around which you can pan. Show More

This adds 3 checkboxes under the "point-to-point" as []X []y []z.  They're all selected by default (which is the familiar use), but you can deselect any so that when you click "OK" the deselected axis remains unchanged.     This would be especially powerful if additionally a button labeled "coordinate" would allow you to select a plane, or 2 orthogonal axes to redefine the coordinate system used when locking one or more of the axes.  Understandably that will probably require another feature request so I'll be happy if just the first paragraph above was implemented.

Like to keep my parts in sketches, one sketch for every part.   Sometimes you want to extrude things in the part, lets say I add a hole in the part. Today when I add the hole in the sketch I have to hide all other parts so I dont make holes in them and then extrude it and then press pull it from the other side.   I want in the extrude command the ability to extrude to a specific body or face in the 3D environment.   very simple, extrude..., checkmark a box "extrude to specific face" boom! the extrude starts at the face I´ve selected.   Yes I know i can create a new sketchplane at the face i want to extrude to, but I like to keep all my parts in one sketch since I export them as drawings.

I would like to see the ability to select a Subassembly to make a drawing. currently the workflow is to select all this components in the subassembly to make the drawing. I made the effort to make them in an assembly for a reason. I would like to control that subassembly.   Show More

Would be great to have drop down menu for different value formats in the "properties analysis" window of an object - when you go over an object, right click "get Properties". I design in MM usually and yet when I mold/cast I use cubic inches for fluid scale measurements. So having to exit the properties pane to switch the scene dimensions from mm to inch to check properties and then back to continue designing is teasious. Offer a little box to show values in mm3 or inch3. Thanks Alldaron Show More

This option would allow Fusion to still write all the 5 mins saves and timeline data, but stored in a Temp-Referenced file and not uploading everything to the cloud on the fly, which can be horribly slow under certain situations. Then when the massive complex edits are all complete, select "re-upload and merge" and it will update the "cloud version" and save a new version in the project "saves" collection, etc.   I'm sure this has been requested, but I imagine this would save a lot of time.   Thanks, Alldaron Show More

Please highlights manually overwriten dimension (for example by red) to highlight that the dimension might be incorrect or outdated. What helps to understand that parametric dimension to the model are better.   Show More

When you hide a compenent, body, group etc. it keeps it selected. I'm not sure why that behavior would be desired? It could make sense for some, but I would much rather have it deselect the object if I just hid it. Currently hiding something and Actually hiding it from my current view takes two steps, where I would like it to be one.   If the current behavior is important to some people, perhaps it could be an option?

Trimming and knitting two surfaces together takes way too many steps. SW manages to do this with one mutual trim feature. You select all the surfaces you want to knit, and then interactively pick the areas to keep (or discard; there is a toggle for that), and when your satisfied and hit "OK" the surfaces are trimmed and knit together.

It would be awesome when searching for a file in Fusion 360 if you could open the containing folder. We often repeat parts and put them in a project folder, but a search for the part only brings up the file and doesn't tell me where it is. Show More

for any engineer he would deside what bolts to come at what pitch and the tools job on the whole is to represent his neeed on screen so i would like to have a tool for bolt, counter hole and threaded hole or nut generation for productve design   similarly, there are many design accelerating features w.r.t CAD Intuitive concept development features to be automated like Bearing-shaft to suit the dia Gear-key-shaft Pulley-coupling-shaft Frames and standard sections Assembly Interference-part optimization features Automatic fillet, chamfer with one click relief grooves Automatic bolts, free holes and tapped holes at defined pitch between selected parts in assemblies with one click Surface matching features for shaft, Bearing Housing, flanges etc,. assembly interference recognition and chopping of the interfering part is a very intuative feature which i found on a pipe clamp webinar from fusion 360 i am looking for many such features to come up on fusion in the near future   these are features which accelerate the design process   if they are not being added to the platform then fusion would just be any other CAD toy but not an engineers platform for engineering his designs. looking for a potential revamp in engineering assisting features.   Show More

Hello people,   my problem is that the icon for the Pattern in the Sketch mode is impossible to click, as it seems to be hidden behind other lines or shapes.    Another problem is that, however much I zoom in, the Pattern icon doesn't become bigger, but at some point disappears (see gif).   Thanks!   Nicole Show More

  It would really be handy, when you can import an image as canvas from a360. when attaching a canvas, you cannot access a360 or your a360 drive. when working in a project group you can work much more efficient when all the project files are in an a360 hub.   Show More

Fusion 360 needs to support some basic modifier keys when sketching shapes like lines, circles and rectangles. Use Adobe illustrator, InDesign and Corel as examples of design standards of using modifier keys when drawing or resizing.   Holding the SHIFT key while using a drawing tool like rectangle, circle, etc. should keep the same proportions as the original. Ex: Drawing or resizing a box would keep the same constrained proportions. This makes it much easier to resize the same sketch.   Holding the ALT key while using a drawing tool like rectangle, circle, etc. should change to using the objects middle point as the center instead of an edge or corner. This would act like your center rectangle tool but with any drawing object.   Using both modifiers would give you the behavior as shown in the image below:   Show More

I recently wrote a blog on using Fusion 360 to help with complex part placement in an ECAD tool.     http://circuitmaker.com/blog/Blogs/guiding-funky-part-placement    About 3/4 of the way through the blog,  see this:   "The idea here is to project the top of the bodies to a reference plane to get sketches of all the placement guides. Here is the only down side - Fusion 360 requires you to click on each body separately to group the projection operation. There is no way to select them all. It only takes a minute or two though! And think of all the time you’ve saved otherwise!"   If I have a large group of bodies that I want to use in projection operation, I have to click on them one at a time.  for large patterns this is time consuming.   It would be great if I would select everything in the tree menu on the left to save lots of clicks Show More

Where I work right now we have been using blocks in Autocad as a template for each project we work on. We want to make the switch over to fusion 360, but we don't want to waste time essentially redrawing our blocks that we have in Autocad into 3D models with User Parameters in Fusion 360.
