A few changes to setting up your drawing have come to Fusion in the June update -
The opportunity to set your drawing format (referenced standard), units and sheet size is presented at drawing creation in the "New Drawing from Design" command dialog.
Once the units and standard are set for the drawing they cannot be changed, however, sheet size can be adjusted in the drawing from the "Sheet Settings" menu at the bottom of the window.
Preferences has gotten a bit of an overhaul too. We've reordered the lists and added an "Inherit from Design" option in the Annotation Units and Drawing Format drop-downs.
This option checks the design units and defaults the "New Drawing from Design" command dialog to show ISO for format and millimeters for units when the design is metric and ASME for format and inches for units when the design is in imperial.
Certain Standard specific options (including sheet size) have been hidden while "Inherit from Design" is active and will be displayed if you instead specify ASME or ISO as your preferred format.
Take a look and let us know what you think. We really do appreciate any ideas, critiques or comments.
Best,
Scott
