The current July update busted Fusion with a host of bugs.   So I tried to uninstall and freshly re-install it   To my surprise all settings and plug-ins were still present after a new install.   Gents - when I want to uninstall make an uninstaller that removes EVERYTHING!   This is a really old complaint and should not be that rocket science 😉 Show More

I would like to have  mouse/key combination where I could sketch a line, choose a center point and have the line draw out equally in opposite directions when dragging the mouse.  Example:   control/left button hold/drag. This would save some clicks by not relying on constraints.   Show More

Fusion 360 auto hides sketches and joint origins upon consumption. For example:   A sketch is automatically hidden after it's used in an extrude operation. A joint origin is automatically hidden after it's used to create a joint. At the time of this post, Fusion 360 provides an option to prevent this, but this option only applies to sketches:     I would like a similar option named 'Auto hide joint origin on joint creation'. The following screencast shows two situations where it would be better to not auto hide. Better yet, a checkbox could be added at the bottom of the Joint dialogue (see below mock-up) to temporarily bypass the global setting in the Preferences. By default, the checkbox in the Joint dialog should always match the global setting in the Preferences. To temporarily achieve override the global setting, users simply toggle the checkbox to the opposite state:       Her's the screencast:       Show More

Right now F360 stores many preferences in the cloud with the user's account, even some obscure ones the grid color scheme (Display Settings > Environment). A few major ones, unfortunately, are not: zoom direction and button layout, to name a few.   At home, I have zoom reversed, and frequently used functions in the main workspace menu rather than dropdowns. But I spend a lot of my time using Fusion in a computer lab with frozen hard drive images, so not only are these options not pulled down when I sign in, but every time I reboot (which is after every session), these settings are lost completely.   This could be alleviated entirely if these settings were cloud-based.

The current implementation of the Construct menu, where you create construction planes, axes, and points, consists of a long list of alternatives where you have to find your exact combination of planes, faces, edges, axes, or points to accomplish what you want. I think the approach used by Geomagic/Cubify is more user-friendly. Instead of forcing the user to specify how they intend to generate their object in advance, this is inferred from the selected objects. For example, if after selecting "create a plane", you:   Click on a plane. The dialog assumes you want to make an offset plane and asks for the offset. If you now select an additional point, it realizes that the only alternative that makes sense is to make an offset plane going through that point. If you instead select a plane and an axis/edge parallel to that plane, it generates an offset plane going through the axis/edge, with an optional rotation angle around the axis as well.   This has two big advantages from a usability standpoint: The user can just mark what they intended to without having to find that alternative in a long list first. The plane/axis/point can be edited to a different type of definition. (My impression is that in 360 right now if you have made a plane as an offset plane but realize you actually want it to be rotated, there is no way to do that except deleting the plane and creating a new one, which would break dependencies. I might be wrong about this though.)   The types of planes that can be generated in geomagic/cubify seem to be: Selecting an edge: Insert plane perpendicular to the edge at the endpoint of the edge. Selecting a plane or face: Insert plane parallel to the plane/face with a specified offset. Plane/face and point: Insert plane parallel to plane/face going through point. Edge/axis and point: Insert plane either containing or normal to edge/axis going through point. Two parallel edges/axes: Insert plane containing the two adges/axes. Three points: Insert plane going through the three points. For axes: Selecting an edge: Insert axis collinear with edge. Two planes: Insert axis at the intersection of the two planes. A plane and an edge parallel to but offset from the plane: Insert axis in the plane, parallel to edge. A cylindrical face: Insert axis passing through centerline of cylinder. A plane and a point/vertex: Insert axis normal to plane going through point. Two points/vertexes: Insert axis going through the two points.   For points: Selecting nothing: Insert point at a specified coordinate. Selecting an edge: Insert point on edge at a specified fraction between the endpoints. Two intersecting edges/axes: Insert point at intersection. A curved edge: Insert point at curve center point. Three nonparallel planes: Insert point at the intersection point. A plane and an axis: Insert point where axis intersects plane. Two points: Insert point on line between points at a specified fraction of the distance. A point and a plane: The point projected onto the plane, with optional offsets in the plane.  (Note that several of these alternatives are currently not available in 360 at all.) Show More

The way we design a model and how we need them to arranged to successfully print on a 3D Printer are not usually the same. I would love to see an option where you could select a face to be the bottom layer and it would orient the model so that the best surface to start a print can be set without moving the model or STL in your host software. I see this as a Select as Bottom Face option on the Export to STL dialogue box. I think this would be a great little time saver.   Another idea I had involves providing a Buildplate Environment for arranging your parts for printing. It would contain all the same bodies and components of the Model Environment, but would allow you to reorient the components without affecting the layout used in the design process. Show More

When you are doing 5-axis toolpaths it would be helpful to see the rotation angles at different points of the toolpath.

That could be helpful to know you aren't going to overtravel your rotary.  Show More

And again we raise this question created almost 2 years ago by user louis.lbnc   louis.lbnc: "Hi, this is a request to enable constrained orbit as an option when using 3D Connexion space mouse peripherals.    While it is currently possible to set Fusion 360 to lock the horizon with constrained orbit, this setting doesn't carry over to the space mouse. Many users prefer the constrained orbit for design work as locking the horizon shows you your object as you would in the real world.

Hi all,   I've read on the Product Roadmap that a new Hole tool is coming our way soon, I'm very excited about that! I just wanted to do a last request before the tool is released!    When creating a Countersink hole the tool requests a Countersink Diameter. This does not seem to be consistent with the datasheets that fastener manufacturers deliver us; could this please be changed to the depth of the countersink hole? Below I have attached a typical countersunk-screw drawing. As you will notice the diameter of the screw head cannot be equal to the diameter of the hole as the screw would stick out (by c). It also makes it more complicated if I would like to add extra spacing to compensate for any tolerances.      Please let me know what you think and feel free to add any suggestions!   Cheers Show More

There should be a way to make Fusion's post processor output a G2/G3 on arcs rather than many small line segments. I have a 1993 Fadal VMC 4020 and the control has a hard time processing the small line segments. The smoothing function works most of the time but not always. I would like to see a check box under the passes tab (perhaps right underneath the smoothing check box) that reads "Force G2/G3." Show More

hi guys,   I can see that this has been asked before but still not included in the latest batch of updates.   Generally speaking I would guess that most of your new Fusion 360 users will have come from some sort of Autodesk software and seeing how both AutoCAD and Inventor both have this command wouldn't it be a logical choice to include this into Fusion 360?   It is a huge time saver to be able to hit the space bar without having to move position with the mouse as I'm sure you know.   Hopefully we see it soon??   Thanks.  Show More

First I want to say I LOVE Fusion 360. Over the last two years we have adopted 100% usage of Fusion and are designing and manufacturing commercial products using Fusion as well as manufacturing parts for clients. Over the last 6-8 months it seems the updates have had a few issues many of which have caused a slow down or a down right stoppage in production and most recently with the Joints going haywire.  I would like to suggest a way for users to turn off automatic updates and implement them on their own schedule say 60-90 days. I don't need to have an update every month but I need to know that when I want to use Fusion it'll work as well as the last time I used it. If this has already been suggested I apologize but I didn't find it before posting. Thanks, Larry   Show More

This is a big problem when dealing with supplier. I usually send them a step file with a PDF drawing of the part and it confuses them to have the two files with different numbers.   Let say you send the Step-v8 with the Drawing-v5 for a quote and then you send them revised files for the making that are Step-V12 and Drawing-V8, one could think that the New Drawing actually goes to the old Step.   The model version is important to keep going right but the version of a blueprint does not matter as much by itself so it would a lot easier to manage files if the print number matches the model or part number.   For now I loose my time to make them match manually before I send them to suppliers.     Show More

I it would be great if the 2D contour CAM operation had the ability to specify dogbone cuts on all inside corners.    This could be done as a simple checkbox and then a bit diameter number, then the toolpath would be generated to automatically cut a dogbone around all inside corners.   Or... maybe you could select the vertical parts of all inside corners where you want it to be done.   (YES, I'm aware of the dogbone add-in which puts it in the model).

Category labels next to search results: This way, typing "fillet", which currently displays both the sketch fillet and the 3D fillet, would be much easier to locate (users could search for "sketch fillet" or "fillet sketch"):     Display search results in alphanumerical order. At the moment search results are displayed in some sort of semi-random order:     Ensure search results are consistent: Search often finds irrelevant results, or results that don't contain all of the search terms. In below example, searching for "free orbit" and "orbit free" produces different results. Furthermore, Some of the results don't contain all of the search terms e.g. where is the string "free" in "Constrained Orbit"?     Custom separators (both vertical and horizontal): Currently the toolbox is just an unstructured one-dimensional array of icons:     Show More

With the release of the RPi 4, it contains a spec that is capable of running a native version of Windows 10 yet to be tested.   But in thinking of this it would be good to see if an SD Card image with a build of Fusion 360 specifically built for the RPi 4 is released, the benefits of this its gives as the RPi 4 supports dual 4k output, USB3 and Gigabit Ethernet, it makes for the perfect Pocket Design computer.   So this would be good, and of course if this is built on a custom build of Raspbian designed to be resource efficient, it would make the perfect design workstation.

Often it's difficult determine what needs to be done to fully constrain a sketch when you're almost there.   Other s/w I've used had a "Show Free DOF" (degrees of freedom) function that would animate the unconstrained DOF, which was very helpful.   For example, if a line lacked an angular constraint, it would rotate, and if it also lacked a linear dimension it would then translate or change length in an oscillating fashion.   This would be extremely helpful.

I think there is no way to actually import a Fusion file into a base feature which I found very surprising.   Once could export convert to DXF and the use the insert command. But this is not really a workflow you want to ask users to use.   However this again is an old issue of Fusion not providing adequate import abilities - STEP import or such should work via the insert command which is common when like in this case it is even impossible for Fusion to insert a design from the dashboard into a base feature.   Show More

What Fusion 360 is really missing is the ability to define a local coordinate system (by moving the origin) when creating a component without the need to join/assemble it first. Then you get to enjoy a re-usable component and can use the as-built joints.   Explanation: From the tutorials I learned that it is good habit to orient sketches to the origin. So I have all base axes and planes as reference. I can orient a Revolve element to the X-axis. For example. In a top down design, where I use reference points in the design for creating the new component, the origin of this  new component is somewhere in nowhere. But not where I want it to be. For example: I draw a cube on the Origin. Then a new component on top of the cube, at a certain point. If the new part is a revolve element, I don't have origin as a reference here. Of course I can join/assembly the new empty component to move  the origin. It would be nicer if I could set the origin to the point I like without the need to join/assemble it first.. Show More

As an active participant of the CAM forum, I would say that hand's down, the most common problem we see is that of "My post failed, it said something about tool orientation" This always comes down to one thing: People dive right into programming their part, but they never bothered to do a Setup. So when their tool is trying to mill along the Z axis, they think the solution is to turn on Tool Orientation. This is clearly wrong and the tooltip tells you what it's for, but apparently that is ignored or misunderstood.   I propose something along the lines of these options: 1) Grey out all the toolpath icons until a Setup is performed. 2) If that's not desired by the community, perhaps clicking an operation could prompt a pop-up window informing you that you haven't established your WCS yet and would you like to? This box MUST have a button to click for more information, perhaps linking to a very short video or text explaining what the WCS is for and why you need to set it up before programming   I mean, we all love the easy padding of kudos and "Your answer was accepted as solution" but I'd rather just see the community not even hit that problem in the first place What are your thoughts @Steinwerks @HughesTooling @al.whatmough ?

When placing features on a part, such as a hole, the snap points are really nice to use to locate your feature. As the model is edited and reszied, the features don't stay tied to those snap points.   I would like a relationship created between the snap point and the feature. So that if the model is edited, the design intent is preserved.   In the attached screen cast I placed a hole that should be centered on the face the hole is being placed on. A snap point appears and makes locating that hole on the center of the face very easy. When the size of the face is updated, the hole position does not update with the dimensional change.   http://autode.sk/1J5GRUK     Show More

It would be really usefull for large assemblies to invert the current selection.   When I am working on a large assembly I sometimes want to only view a few components or sub-assemblies. This makes it much easier to see the components and make changes to them.

Hi,   I know that this subject has been discussed before but I think it's very important to put it on the table again.   I'm very impressed by how Fusion takes CAD to the next level and I've been putting it in the hands of different heavy CAD users working for bigger enterprises than me, and they all loved it and only stayed with one question, "How data is managed?"   For an enterprise it's unacceptable to have data into a crackable server, propriety of amazon ( a million iCloud accounts cracked a few days ago, take that amazon... ), that can be down for any reason like bugs. But it's also the main reason why they loved it, no "need" to manage the data, all computers share the same files.   So what if enterprises could have a "server" version of Fusion 360 to store all data and services locally? Well, I think it will be the "killer" feature, at such a point that I don't know if Inventor could still be taken as an "upgrade" from fusion.   I know it's difficult to do, but it NEEDS to be considered further, however Fusion is only going to target small enterprises with no intellectual proprieties, but hey, if it's the goal for Fusion to not cover all the market, stay that way Autodesk.   Thanks for your attention, Hugues.

An addition is needed in the preferences panel: the ability to turn off the automatic changes to the 'operation' in the dialogue box. It is assumed by the program, for example, when you extrude a profile and the object happens to intersect another that a cut is required so it automatically changes the operation from 'new body' to 'cut'. However more often than not, a 'cut' is not what is required but rather a 'new body'. It should be my choice and not the programs choice. When the model is heavy this becomes more of an issue because the program switches to 'cut' then is calculating the 'cut' as you are sizing your extrusion for example and it severely slows down the operation. Whereas left as 'new body' the calculation is much much faster.  I realize that this kind of automation is supposed to help but it really doesn't in this case. Many times you think a new body is going to be created because it says 'new body' by default, but later find out you performed a cut or join, then have to go back and correct it. Please add the option in the preference panel to turn off automatic changes to the 'operation' in dialogue boxes. Show More

I suggest to add new option in MOVE operation. It shoul be like move on path. It will help to save time.

So the algoritm i described looks like rectangular pattern, but without deleting main (first) body.   Show More

Hi    I come from the custom body part fitting industry.   It would be great to have a function that quickly creates cross sectional curves on the body part in question which can then be lofted into a smooth surface of the object to be fitted. T spline sculpting can then be used to manipulate the surface by the practitioner or lab to get a comfortable professional fit and finish. I find the more cross sectional curves involved in the loft leads to a closer and more accurate fit. Perhaps there can be an option to choose how many cross sectional curves to be lofted and the distance between each curve?    I used Rhino and they have a Contour function that creates these curves immediately. I find Fusion has a ways to go as it gets quite slow when the number of curves I make increases. I am on a Macbook Pro 2.6 Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM and 1gig video card.    Love this program. Thanks a lot Autodesk and associates! Show More

Fusion 360 is unable to apply the same mirror command it can use for features and bodies to a sketch object ?!   The inside sketch mirror works good when you want to mirror it along the cplane of the sketch.   But if a sketch is at a rotated custom plane and you need to mirror that along a specific axis with a different rotation you cannot do that.   In my screenshot the sketch has to be mirrored along the Y axis to the left.     Show More

Having been tuning designs a lot recently to minimize support implications for 3d printing I am aware of how massive a difference this tweaking can make to reduction in the support material / time / reliability of print / surface finish impact.   A little effort makes a night and day difference to all these factors.   What would make this so much easier, and something I don't think I have seen elsewhere is the combination of these two workflows.   1. Make it possible to export STL at the body level using any construction plane as the reference plane for down. Presently to force the orientation of parts for STL export so that my flat model face I wish to have down is aligned to a origin axis, I have to export the part out of the main design, where it may be in a complex orientation to a separate design. Host it in a new component within that design, draw a circle on the origin plane via a sketch, then using a joint defined on the "down" face of the body, joint the body to the sketch. Then I have to export from the root of the design, or it doesn't observe the intent of the orientation. If you could simply define an arbitrary plane as the "down" during the STL export of the body at the node in the browser, it would make export in place with easy orientation so easy. This is important to ensure you get absolute alignment of the down face in the slicer package you may use, Makerware for example, if you have to manually tweak you can be sure your face will not be perfectly aligned, and this means poor finish. It also empowers point 2 below.   2. Add an analysis feature that, colorizes the body faces according to angle from the selected "down" plane. Using this and a parameter that represents your printers capability to build overhangs without support, lets say 45 degrees for the purposes of this description, you can color faces that are up in relation to the down plane as "passive", faces that are down but shallow enough to not require support as "healthy", and those approaching the angle where support is required to those where it is definitely required to varying shades of "needs attention" with a good contrast where that boundary angle is crossed.   You can then work directly in fusion to prep your model, where angles can be adjusted or down face chosen differently without compromising your design.   This would be so much faster / convenient than the current workflow of exporting STL and examining in various external packages that visualize support output.   If this already exists in fusion then please point me at it.   I assume it should be similar to draft angle analysis for molded parts.   Yours in hope.     Show More

Hello,   I am curently working in the model of a robot, working with joints and motion studies to simulate the robot's movements.   The motion study is a very crutial feature and i feel like it is very shallow with fusion to do anything involving many joints. It would be great to use the motion study tool to create longer animations that can be exported as a video.   The fact that we have to manipulate joints with curves for the angles makes it complicated to animate 360° turning axis (to simulate a motor). I would like to be able to loop play some curves while other curves are not loop-playing, for exemple.   Cheers, Clémence Show More

Being able to create multi-sheet Fusion drawings is an excellent feature for keeping sets of assembly and subassembly drawings together.   However, this convenience breaks down when trying to export to a PDF. When exporting "all sheets" to a PDF, it generates individual PDFs for every sheet.

This would make it easier to share the PDF of every drawing, and preserve it as a single collection and preserve the page order as well.   Thank you for your consideration.     Show More

Proper representation of a bearing or a gearing on a 2D drawing requires following of specific rules. Like the surface of teeth should not be sectioned, bearing balls should not be sectioned. What we have now creates a messy 2D drawing which is hard to read for trained engineers. Since I can remember using Inventor or Fusion for drawings ended up in importing it into Autocad and correcting all of that crap. Instead of shiny features and new buttons developers should think about solving that so I could create accurate drawings faster. If not an automated feature it should be enabled for the users to quicly cleanup the drawing after creation so that we will end up with something commonly reknowned in the industry.    Show More

Loft with rails in fusion using as a blend surface tool is pretty tricky. You need way too often rails to define the result.   In all other surfacing programs this is not needed as the code is smart enough to understand how the edge condition should be.   you can see the issue loft is positional along the edges   to get what I want I have to add a lot of extra steps making sketches trimming and such - this works just blows up the timeline   The additional issue is that besides more work - having to make 3D sketches - in those 3D sketches it is nearly impossible to create good and consistent aka equal blend curves for the rails     On MOI for example you just select the edges to blend between and the surface fits perfectly notice how well the edges blend   Show More

it seems to me that either the constraint engine is incomplete or crippled when comparing snapping and curve creation to Rhino.   So I cannot create a perpendicular constraint with a line onto a circle ...

  I recently purchased a uniquely-shaped boring bar for my slant-bed lathe to do some concave facing work, and Fusion doesn't have a pre-packaged toolholder in the turning tool library to accommodate this. (The end of the bar has a 27.5' clearance angle from vertical, just to give an idea.) A fellow Fusion user suggested to me that I just add 10' degrees to the tool orientation angle either in the tool setup itself in the library or in the Profile operation itself. The problem I ran into with this is that Fusion seems to be doing some radius comp and the parts are coming out oversized on the OD, and undersized on their IDs. Simulation and the posted code both reflect this. If I leave the tool "as-is" with the incorrect 17.5' end angle, then the simulation and posted code are fine. (Aside from it not correctly simulating whether the insert will clear or not.     Fusion Team - do you guys have any plans in the future to introduce custom lathe toolholders, or maybe expanding the pre-packaged options to include a wider range of oddball geometries?     See attached for the drawing of the bar [and VBMT 21.51 insert] I'm using, as well as how the toolpaths look on a simpler dummy part with and without the tool orientation adjustment.

I think it would be a good addition to be able to select multiple chains with the Drag Selection tool within the CAM module. especially when you are doing engraving on a surface.   this would aid in being able to speedup work flow and also reduce the chance of missing a chain if you have to select each one individually like at the moment.   thanks   Leigh   Show More

when importing a mesh I get something like this.  the mesh is not orthogonal to the origin.  using the available tools I can get close by eye but not really close enough. I would like a tool that would....   1. best fit a group of faces (or many points) to a plane 2. best fit a group faces (or points) to cylinder axis (align mesh cylinder to y axis) 3. mesh point to origin translation  4. also maybe creating reference plane and axis from mesh data   as imported   after tweaking close but not close enough   really like the tool so far Show More

Currently one cannot view surface bodies in a drawing.  Please make these visible, dimensional, etc... Show More

Fusion Team has project level permissions that allows users to view and files/folders that lie inside of that project. I would like to see folder level permissions added to the platform. This would increase its use and collaboration ability.  Show More

So far V-carve features are very limited. No support for roughing out before carving or multiple deapth or optimal chip load Can't carve wider slots than tool (Yes I know you can walk around with multiple operations) Close to none documentation Can't select sketch face, only lines Sketch text has no "new line" feature, ENTER closes the box (Relevant to V carving) Sure I missed something Arnold Show More

Something I would love to see introduced is a simple method for aligning your text in a drawing. At the moment only the leaders can be aligned which is fine for vertical stacking of text, but is useless for horizontal alignment.  Thanks 🙂 Show More

Many times in most designs I work on, the situation arises in which a pattern needs to be made to span between two specific locations.   Typical examples: joists in the floor of a platform between the outer walls holes for fasteners evenly spaced on a board between two of its edges None of the pattern tools are quite suited to these scenarios because they cannot automatically span the distance from a specified point to another. Yes, you can measure a distance, but that distance is not parametric. If the objects, edges, or whatever were measured change positions or sizes, that distance in the pattern does not sync along with the change. The distance can also be set to a parameter, however creating an equation for a distance parameter is impractical when the size of objects are determined by how they fit together with multiple other objects of various shapes and sizes.   So, I propose a Pattern To Object tool, or added functionality of the existing pattern tools. What I have in mind is the ability to select the "From Object" and "To Object" similar to the way the Extrude Tool operates. A specified number of copies of the body, component, et cetera that you wish to pattern would be placed evenly between the two selected points. A quick mockup of the dialogue is attached to give you an idea of the basic options. Another helpful function would be to choose if you want a copy at the start and the end points along with the copies in between.    This type of functionality has been inquired about before here and I know this tool would get a lot of use in my workflow. How about yours?   Show More

It would be great if I could just draw a pattern of 99 circles and 20 squares and tell Fusion to extrude all of them. Not by selection of every individual shape but just by selecting the whole SKETCH in the timeline.  I know I can use selection tools but that's not the point.  If I decide to add 10 slots to the sketch, it would be much more convenient if they could be added to that extrusion automatically.  Show More

With the current straight line facing operation, the last pass usually pushes a burr over the edge of the part with materials like aluminum.  An outside-in spiral path eliminates this because the cutting edge is always moving towards the work piece instead of away from it.  Ideally this would also be combined with the chip thinning option to produce a constant engagement angle path that reduces stress on insert type cutters commonly used for facing.   The spiral path type is also likely to be more time efficient because it maintains consistent contact with the part instead of going off the edge on every pass.   C| Show More
