Can't input dimensions inside "Edit Title Block" workspace

[timon475]

Is there a reason I can't input dimensions myself for the lines inside Edit Title Block workspace? Have you really forgot to input such a basic function? Do I really have to download AutoCAD to be able to create simple title block as a normal human being? Or am I stupid?

You seem to be frustrated by a big oversight in Fusion 360 drawing template creation.  I have a solution for you and you do not have to download AutoCAD.  Take a look at my blog article and included video, it is just what you need.

That's a really nice work-around, thank you!

But this is still a workaround for a very basic function that shoud just be there from the start. I hope community/product manager would notice this post and add this issue to their's to-do list

I can see on my end that this topic has been elevated so it may be considered in the future.  If you feel you have your solution, please mark your post as solved so others can find the solution if they have a similar problem.

Hey @timon475 : I already did it with the free 30 days trial version but didn't worked as expected.

One of the main issues I found was the XREF's from AutoCAD are not compatible with Fusion 360. That being said, it's a totally waste of time try to create the title block in AutoCAD and then importing to Fusion 360.
