yup I agree - specifically for techincal illustration not manufacturing

Update to - Perspective views in Drawings!

 

In the Properties panel, it is only possible to choose isometric views.
An opportunity to choose perspective views, will be perfect for full page technical illustrations and assembly drawings.
This will also be necessary to create PATENT DRAWINGS.


Note: If you save a Drawing as a PDF – import it into Illustrator and clean it up, you will have a very nice drawing you can use to make great illustrations, when combining with other graphics. And if you add a week and small offset shadow to the line, it will stand out a bit and look very nice.

This would be a great feature and open up lots of possibilities. It would allow perspective PDF's to be imported into Adobe Illustrator for use in product packaging, promotional materials, etc. Isometric drawings don't really work for these types of applications.

We absolutely need this especially when deriving line art to be used in assembly manuals and instruction sheets.

and Patent applications.

This feature would be beneficial to me! This would be awesome for patent drawings/instruction manuals/illustrations of created designs.

Yes, Please.

i was actually (unpleasantly) surprised that you can't set the view anyway you want. I.e. take the current view or a saved camera from the Model file.

This would be really helpful. to show in perspective, and not isometric. Also the ability to orbit to any angle. My workaround is saving a home view and projecting that in the drawing, but that is a little cumbersome.

I would use this quite a bit for assembly instructions. The drawings that fusion makes are great, I just wish I could get some perspective views.

Yes absolutly need this function to create user manuals. Any way around this? Need to produce perspective line drawing that will translate to vector linework in illustrator.

Any update to the status of this feature? Simply need to translate perspective named view in the modeling environment to the drawing environment. In modelling environment I can save a perspective camera angle as a "named view". That named view is then livable in the drawing environment, but the perspective is somehow lost. 

That means I have to manually trace over a screen grab in illustrator. Hours of work 😞

A cartooniser which maintained any perspective in the output will make the production of printable assembly guides much quicker. Tracing bitmaps in Inkscape is tedious.

 

Thanks.

h.chilton, when you create a new view and name it, you need to save the model first before updating the derived drawing. I did the same mistake and could not see my saved views.

 Any updates on this? I often use perspective views to help my clients visualize their parts. Currently I don't see any way to add a perspective view besides taking a screenshot and adding the image manually.

 

Also, it would be amazing  if I could get a "cartoonizer" line feature for doing assembly drawings and such. I currently have to use other applications to make such images.

 

Thanks!

Also need this. Choosing the view and perspective on drawings is important

Yeah I really need this feature. I often have to produce illustrations and line drawings for consumer instructions from the parts we manufacture. Orthographic projection often looks too weird for parts bigger than a softball, especially if you place them in a user POV context. 

 

If Autodesk proper isn't going to add this one, can we collectively pay someone to write an add-on?
