 You might want to be more specific. I have made some reasonably complex sheetmetal parts. When also considering price and maturity Fusion meets most of my expectations. 

Like a lot of Mechanical CAD tools, they sometimes sacrifice flexibility for our strengths. This can cause some workflows to seem complicated for what you are tying to accomplish. 

If you can be more specific I think you will hopefully get help, and if not, bring up the issue more clearly to the development team. From you wording it almost sounds like you are asking for a "sketch bend" when is when you make a line on the part with a sketch, where you want it to bend. I think this is a feature in development.

@Anonymous you can and you can do it with sketchies sometimes it pays to call a friend before posting misguided comments

You have obviously never worked on proper 3D design software.

@Anonymous what is it you are trying to do and yes I have other cad programs

How do I vote or push to have an un-roll or flatten developable surfaces on Fusion 360? Seems like an extremely critical part of working with sheetmetal that isn't able to be done on this program yet!

How is it?

Logan I agree!

I teach Mechanical Engineering, and one of the most asked questions by the students when learning sheet metal is, "Why can't we do development for a cone"?

I'm doing the waiting game. Conic development is a critical part of sheet metal work.

oil drum , beam vac and all sort of thing use round sheet metal "WHY,WHY,WHY" can't we use them in sheet metal????

How is it?

It is possible to get Fusion 360, Sheetmetal to do a development of round sheet objects, like a cylinder or a tube shape. Known as Cylindrical development. This requires but a simple work around, tricks Sheetmetal, and so then it does a development.

Why was this marked as “implemented”? Does Fusion support unrolling of conic and developable surfaces now?
