Drawing section problem

[m_tirello]

Hi everyone,

I would like to get your feedback on the "Drawing" workspace in Fusion 360.

Personally, I find it incredibly tedious to work with. Every time I need to create a 2D drawing, it takes far longer than it should. I believe it is crucial to report these ongoing issues to Autodesk.

To begin with, the dimensioning tool is extremely rigid. It is impossible to flip the dimension arrows or customize how diameters and radius are displayed.

On top of that, I keep experiencing frustrating UI bugs, such as the mouse cursor suddenly disappearing.

Lastly, the software frequently crashes with "access violation" errors, even when doing something as simple as editing a basic sketch.

I am curious to hear if anyone else is experiencing the same issues.

Hi @m_tirello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that these issues are making your work in Fusion so frustrating.

Have you already contacted Autodesk Support or tried any troubleshooting steps? Since some of the problems you described may require further investigation, I recommend working with our Support team so they can review your system information, diagnostic files, and crash reports.

To help separate the concerns:

1. Drawing dimensions
   Fusion includes separate Radius, Diameter, and Flip Arrows tools in the Drawing workspace.  Could you share a screenshot or short screen recording showing the exact result you are trying to achieve? This will help us determine whether the option is already available or whether it should be considered as a product enhancement.
2. Disappearing cursor
   This may be related to your graphics configuration. Please go to:
   Help > Support and Diagnostics > Graphics Diagnostic
   Select Copy to Clipboard and include the information in your support case. It would also be helpful to mention whether you are using external monitors, a docking station, display scaling, or more than one graphics card.
3. Access-violation crashes
   Please submit the Autodesk crash report each time the crash occurs. Include your email address and a short description of the steps you performed immediately before the crash. You can also collect the Fusion diagnostic logs by going to:
   Help > Support and Diagnostics > Diagnostic Log Files

Please send the diagnostic files, crash-report details, and any screenshots or recordings to Autodesk Support. A dedicated specialist will review the information and guide you through the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

Thanks
Lukasz

Thanks for sharing the feedback for Fusion drawing.

There are a few known issues, and we have been working on inproving performance and supporting dimension types, as well as user friendly cases. It will be helpful if you can share the details; workflows and dataset to reproduce these kind of feedback. Then we can track them in backlog if they are new issues for us. Thanks for your support.
