Reference driven dimensions

[danmen101]

My two major gripes with Fusion are:

- inability to reference driven dimensions

  also is there way to display the model parameter names ie: d1, d2, d3... with their formulae like Inventor does we only see the numeric values ie: fx: 3.45  fx: 6.25

- general slowdown when models start getting a bit too .... umm... zealous 🙂

Other than that Fusion is pretty great

Well, Inventor is a dedicated professional mechanical design software where fusion 360 is not that much. So, expecting that much function like equations in dimensions is a little bit much.

so what can we expect? more eye candy but no new functionality? what would be the point of that? The only thing that should separate Fusion and Inventor are the exhaustive libraries in Inventor and the 3rd party support for special apps ... nothing else!

@MoshiurRashid equations are possible. As to using reference dimension in equations, it took several years for Inventor to be able to reference them in equations so you argument is false. You are simply comparing 6 year old software to 20 year old software, it has nothing to do with professional or not.

This has been an open idea since 2015:
