I can see how Fusion makes for a good Industrial Design package, but it's not ready to be called a Mechanical Engineering package yet. We need a way to create drawings that meet ANSI/ISO standards as well as being able to note GD&T.
Other features that should NOT be missing from a $1200/year CAD package:
As it stands now, I cannot send something I've drawn to a manufacturer using only Fusion 360. What's the point of prototyping with Fusion 360 if you can't send out drawings?
@lukepighetti Thanks for the detailed feedback. All of your requests are on our roadmap so stay tuned to see much more functionality added to the Drawings workspace.
Also, the Drawings workspace is also available in the base Fusion 360 offering ($300/yr), not just in Fusion 360 Ultimate ($1200/yr).
While I am glad you have decided to include Drawings in the base version, Ultimate is still a $1200 / year CAD/CAM package that cannot produce drawings that are expected from a program of that cost. It sounds like you all are taking Drawings seriously though, and I look forward to the updates.
I know they are actively working on this but it cannot come too soon. Aside from crashing and bugs lack of drawing capability is is the most frequent issue I have with F360.
It's really a stretch to say that Fusion360 currently supports drawings. Being able to place a few views and add basic dimensions is ok for rough ideas but not for manufacturing parts. Not everything can be 3D printed without drawings.
I'm finding the learning process of Fusion360 to be enjoyable, and I'm progressing at a fair pace. Congratulations to your staff for their ongoing efforts to improve this product.
I would like to see standard libraries of things such as common fasteners, such as bolts and screws in both SAE and Metric, welding symbols and possibly being able to show the actual welds on the drawing (ie., fillet, butt, lap, horizontal, vertical up and down, and multi-pass welds) etc., that I can pick and place in my drawings.
Many years ago, as a student, I had access to AutoCad(ver. 10, I think), and it had several libraries of such things that could be imported into the drawing. Many of my drawings are fabrications that involve fasteners and/or weldments.
