Custom Sheet Size

Hello,

I am trying to change the size of a drawing. The most recent information I could find was from 2015. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/custom-size-sheet-drawing/m-p/5944272#M401... I'm wondering if anyone has any new information on this topic. 

 

I am working on converting my high school CAD lab from Solidworks to the Autodesk family. I am currently working on some finger joint boxes. Students can use Fusion360 to build the model and prepare the parts for laser cutting. We then export a PDF and do the final document changes in Illustrator. I'm looking to remove a step and export directly to my laser cutter. Are there any changes to the drawing sheets so that I can create a custom sheet size? 

 

Thanks for the help

Hi,

If it is to be edited, either use the tools in the Manufacture module or save sketches as DXF.

Thanks!

I am new to Fusion360 and will explore the Manufacturing Module.

I'm currently putting induvial parts into a new file and nesting them before making a drawing with that file.

Hi,

take a look at the arrange tool.

After arranging, you can project the entire arrangement into a sketch and save it as DXF.
