Weld symbols in Fusion 360 drawings

Weld symbols in Fusion 360 drawings

I need to use weld symbols in my drawings. We can't. use Fusion 360 for drawings without this feature. 

The ability to draw custom blocks or cells would also work as a fix.

This is very needed.  It has been 2 years for this to take place.  We need weld symbols for sure.

I put my request in about 9 months ago and nothing has happened. I have seen what they have done on the other updates and welding has been ignored.

I ´m sure it will never happend. It is not interesting for Autodesk to make Fusion360 as chip real competitor for Inventor. 

Fusion360 will always stay small brother of Inventor. Cheaper with fewer feathers.

This was so long ago. I’m impressed people are still using Fusion.
I’m calling bucket list.

It's embarrasing this feature is still not available.

How can this not just be a small modification project of the current Feature Control Frame tool in drawings?

It is pretty much the basis for what would be needed as a weld symbol tool, just slight modifications to the leader and what symbols are available.

If you are trying to do something interesting with welds long-term that is understandable, but in the interim you should enable simple weld symbols so that people can produce at least basic drawings.

Absolutely agree, don't let the best drive out the good. Give us a solid
fill option for hatching the weld as well.

It's kind of hard to call Fusion a CAD "solution" without providing support for one of the most common manufacturing methods in industry...welding. SMH Smiley Frustrated

I'll throw in my vote for weld symbols - essential for any fabrication drawing requiring weldments

Weld symbols are a must for 2D fabrication drawings. Please add as a priority for future updates.

Long time and no updates.

Onshape has added this feature as a professional tool that meets its user's needs:

@TimeraAutodesk Hello again. The wait time is closing quickly to 4 (four) years. Is there any timeline for weld symbols?

HI @Anonymous, thank you for following up with us on this. We do realize that it is a much-needed feature for many of our users.  The team has been working very hard at consistently delivering functionality over the last several years - we simply haven't been able to get to weld symbols yet, although we have every intention of addressing this feature this year.  We appreciate your patience as the team is doing their best to deliver on a long list of enhancements and new features that the community desperately needs in order to complete their drawings - welding symbols is just one of those items.
