I am also a person who is a sheetmetal centric designer. The preview release is very promising and even though later than most of us hoped, the initial release should satisfy a vast majority of needs.
It' has been a priority for over a year now. I think they are just perfecting it before they release to the masses?

Would it be possible to give us some inkling as to the timeframe of this functionality? Hours, days, weeks, months?
Most of my projects include sheet-metal. I would love to use fusion on my latest project. This one has some very basic sheet-metal needs. I need to decide if I'm going to do the next one in Solid Works or wait a little while or Fusion.
In the short run you can try this. This will work if your project doesn't need flat-metal at your level. If your sheet metal shop can work with solid finished forms.
1) Create 2D box in Sketch to 17" x 4.75".
2) Positive Push Pull for 3D back to 13.250". Now 3D is 17" x 4.75" x 13.25".
3) Offset neg from outside of Back view by -0.0625" (1/16").
4) Neg Push Pull up to 0.0625 (1/16") of Front Side (13.1875" from Back). Now you have a hollow box.
5) Create new box from Top view that leaves 0.75" in the front and on the left and right sides, but exceeds the back edge of first box cutting the back away.
I made a post with a graphic, but the graphic didn't make it. I tried to add a new post with a link, but that didn't make it either. So I will try this. My post is for tylerY2M5Q on on 03-11-2017 02:30 PM. My sheet metal shop can work with finished forms. Since I am trying to make 3U 19" rack mount enclosure parts I found this to work with current tools.

What we are trying to figure out is when is it going to be available for real. I am not interested in starting projects with the software until it is functioning well enough to be released. This is how we make money and were not willing to risk starting something and then having to start over.
I love the software just wondering if you can give us a ballpark?
From the date on this topic it is clear the need for sheet metal capability is known and is relevant to most engineers. I don't understand why Inventor sheet metal functionality can't be incorporated into Fusion right now. One of the strongest capabilities in Inventor is its excellent sheet metal capability. If you intend Fusion to be a tool professionals want to use, fusion, which has an excellent foundation, must add sheet metal functionality ASAP. Better automation of CAM functions and usability improvements are also needed.
Don't get me wrong, Fusion is the future and I love it but currently it is a hobbyist tool, providing easy CNC but only masquerading as a serious engineering tool . The potential is there. Get BUSY Autodesk! Make this a tool companies can use for production.
