It would be nice if it was much easier to post models to the forum for others to see and edit, similar to how you can post an image.   For example, here are a few recent posts (1 2 3 4) where instead of the models being posted just a screenshot was used.  This sometimes makes it more difficult to fix the problem, because to have to reproduce it first.  While I think it's possible to attach f3d files now, it could be a lot easier, maybe a file picker that looks through the designs you have available.   Plus the kind of help you can get is more concrete, both from other users and support folks. Here are a few recent examples (1 2 3 4 5).  Some of those would have been very difficult to troubleshoot from just pictures, nevermind providing actionable advice.  But if you can edit the model and post it back, it's easier for us to help each other out.   What would be super cool would be adding images of the model that are taken from the f3d file automatically, or even embedding a live 3d view of the model..    Show More

  This feature would help in many cases where one has the basic design... and wants to "branch" off into variants. If one has several variant designs with the same elements... at the present time one must download and then upload just to copy the file and make a design variation. Perhaps this is part of the billing plan, to pay for each time you upload or download something (In such a case, I hope we are paying by the pound). Still, a simple, native "Save as..." in the cloud, would save a lot of headaches during the design phase. I can see how this could clog the servers if guys made multipule copies of turbine engine designs... or medical scans... perhaps these aspects make such a system more viable from a business standpoint. But in the small part world I live in... it seems strange to work without this familiar tool. Show More

Sorry, Your file mover is a mess. It needs an overhaul and rethink... I tried to move one file into a different group and found the entire process deeply flawed. There should be only on panel to deal with this, select a file: "from-to" "copy/move" Clean and simple. Different columns and situation-reveal tools make for fear based file movement.... for five minutes, I thought my file was erased! It went into a folder I didn't want, couldn't move to the group I wanted, and filled me with a deep cold dread of moving files in 360. FIX!! Show More

When developing a Sketch it's common for me to trace over reference geometry using Splines. It's also common to place a Spline point in the incorrect location or place a series of points that wind up appearing a little off.   This is where an Undo buffer during Spline placement would be a welcome feature. CTRL+Z is the typical key combination in other CAD/Design/3D packages; many of which will let you Undo the entire string of points and then continue with the Spline without exiting the tool and redrawing much of the geometry.   Also, a key combination to close the Spline to the first point placed would be nice. At present the ENTER key will stop the Spline placement with the last point placed, but this also leaves the Spline open (which is still very useful) I would suggest that SHIFT+ ENTER or CTRL+ENTER be used to close the Spline "Loop" Show More

  Hi I am Shigeru from Japan.   I have been using AutoCAD LT almost 10years. So I hope that Fusion 360 can provide faster massive 2D data editing also   simple command line function would be great and faster to edit models. Show More

I have had experience using programs like inventor in the past and now that Fusion 360 is out I would love to 3D model using that, however the end product is to create video models via Maya.  It is much easier for me to create models in Fusion 360 but I have not found an easy way to export from Fusion 360 to Maya.  It would be great to have an Obj export option to transfer files files from one program to another.. If I am missing something and there is any way to do this please let me know. I have some great ideas that I want to experiment with!   Peter Show More

It's quite a time saver to be able to drag a selection fence over an entire plane of geometry and delete without having to orbit and delete for each plane.   The ability to control when this occurs via a simple toggle (either via a checkbox in the preferences, a keyboard shortcut or even a momentary hotkey) would mesh nicely with my typical workflow.         Show More

I'd love to see an EMBOSS function in Fusion 360. Something fully featured, and not limited to planar or cylindrical forms ( I'm looking at you Inventor! 😉 )   As a workaround I extrude a cut into a surface but on non-planar it's impossible to get something that reads correctly in a visual sense.     Secondly, a SOFT SELECT function with the ability to use a WACOM stylus (c/w pressure sensitivity) to paint surface and form displacements would be the perfect addition to my workflow.   True enough, I could use Maya; but Fusion 360 has the potential to be my one-stop-shop.   Show More

Are there any keyboard shortcuts in Fusion 360?   The mouse interface is very cool, but personally I find a combination of the keyboard and mouse faster, whether I am doing CAD, photoshop, whatever. Show More

The homepage layout doesn't flow quite like I would expect it to. I'm use to file tree layouts where the file folders (projects) are on the left and individual files on the right. Additionally, I imagine wanting to do one of three things once opening Fusion 360 - 1. New project/ design 2. Open/ import a file 3. Reopen an existing project/design.  1. The new project/ design buttons seem disproportionally small for the amount of time I'll be using them.  2. This is no where to be found on the home page and required me to find a tutorial on the forums to figure out how to do so. I like the drag and drop feature but another button should be added for this direct purpose.  3. Reopening existing files is great, but could there be a way for me to change the size each button takes up? I'm a very visually focused person and like to see all my content at the same time. The act of scrolling to find things is annoying.  It would also be nice to have a global preferences button on the home page. I currently have to open a design to change a setting that effects all my files- like autosave. Show More

I would like to be able to group components/features in the left-hand browser. If the design gets very detailed, it is easy to get lost between the component names. Also, I am not a big fan of scrolling either. Grouping or putting components to appropriate folders should help to rectify the problem.  Show More

Just thinking about the Motion Study functionality, I come from an animation background where the inertia of objects is often simulated by easing in and out the first and last few frames of a motion - I just wondered if the motion graph can have bezier handles on the key frames so as to control the curves. Thanks, wt  Show More

I just got done with the Skateboard decals exercise--if you're not going to do something with true alpha mapping maybe you should enable transparency in decals using image files that support it, like GIFs and PNGs, so that you can get a sticker which is just the symbol and not the rectangular picture with the symbol in the center.

Fusion360 seems aimed at a user with some experience--SketchUp has a much easier learning curve--but the assembly and joint tools seem to be much more optimized and simpler than Inventor's. I don't know if your team has looked at SketchyPhysics (which is a plug-in for SketchUp) but that's really the best and most absurdly easy physics simulation system I've ever run into and it drives me crazy that I can't do anything similar with a more sophisticated program.    Really--just hit Play, grab things, and toss them around; let balls roll down hills; drive cars through walls--I can spend a couple of weeks with SketchyPhysics and have my ninth graders doing stuff that Inventor can't approach. The thing's been stuck in beta without upgrades for like three years now; it's being made by some guy in his basement and I don't think he's even trying to complete it anymore.    I can't imagine anything that would more improve a piece of CAD software--any CAD software--than for it to have that sort of functionality.  Show More

OK, I have been playing with this software a little bit. I am used to Inventor so I am having to unlearn some stuff.  I'd like the option of history-based editing, maybe something that could be turned on and off? needs a 3d sketch Content Center? I teach technical and engineering drawing and this would fit into those classes. My students need to be able to turn stuff in... I assume the program will eventually have rendering as well as the ability to create drawings. Adding dimensions, views, etc, is an important part of communicating a design. Besides, they need something on paper to take home. I have to go back and put on sketch dimensions manually even if I've typed in a distance, unless there's some way to add them automatically I don't know about. The browser gets unweildy on large models. One suggestion would be to have the create sketch, features, etc commands all begin with a box with 'Feature01' highlighted, or whatever, so that the user is nudged towards giving them descriptive names. A simple on/off for section views--maybe I have missed this but right now I have to redefine the location of the section (moving it away from the model) to turn it off. When using commands like Fillet I have to go and hold CTRL  for each edge, there are not as many options here as I'd like. That's all right now Show More

Perhaps I have not figured out how to do this method if it is an already available feature.   However, why is it that once an object has been created, am I not given an option to edit its attributes other than extruding or manipulating one aspect of it via snap.   For example, if I create a coil, cube, cylinder, etc through the tool bar, I'm presented with the menu to enter in each factor of its creation.  Once I click "okay", I am never given the ability to adjust those entries again.  While mentioned above, I can manipulate certain parts via extrude or snap, there really should be an ability to edit all aspects of that object again through the menu system.   Consider a frequent situation, where I make a complete object and find out after prototyping that a particular piece needs to be adjusted in size.  I cannot select that one object and adjust it with a menu system.  Extrude only shows relative measurements, so if I need to increase the circumference of a side, extrude will only show the measurements in relation to where it is, not total.  I then have to go back and forth with the measure tool to ensure that it is correct, but even the measure tool only measures certain aspects.  So unless I take notes on every object to know what the original settings entered where and add that to extrude methods, I am never certain of the total aspects of an object being correct.  Thus I'm left with having to delete that object and start over just to have the menu driven system to create it again (using notes written on values I have put in before) and adjust those measurements in the new object.   Ideally, how it should work, I should be able to right click on an object in the browser, or select an object with the mouse, and have an option "edit attributes" which presents me with the populated values of that object in the menu.  I can then enter in exact measurements to adjust that object.     Show More

I understand this is not primary task, but I'd want to see it in future.     Show More

I've been using Inventor Fusion for awhile and I wanted to load my file into the Fustion 360.  I new it had to be possible but the complete lack of an add button meant I had to go look at a video to find out that you add an existing file by drag and drop to the open project.  Note, an overlay comes up saying you can drag and drop into a closed project but this didn't seem to work on OSX.   Conversely, when I needed to export my STL, it took a video to help me find the almost hidden export menu in the designer.  I would have expected to be able to export from the project list.   I'm OK with how it works now but the complete lack of UI cues and the need to watch a video to find something so simple had me scratching my head for an hour.

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

Instancing from other Fusion360 files would be handy with some form of hierarchy, It would probably help with the collaborative work flow as well. A project could have areas assigned to other team members whilst one person has ownership of the lead file.   And "File Management" should be added to the list of Idea Labels... Imho Show More

selection filter and transform mode should probably be more easily accessible, right now this are buried in the Edit Form tool. selection filter should probably have hotkeys also. Suggestion face= F, edge = E, vertex = V, All = A, Body = B. in modo we do have the "selection filter" expose much like the pic, but I always use hotkeys to switch between the filters. Same with the transform mode I think they shouldn't be buried. Selection options, needs hotkeys(its just quicker to work that way).             Show More
