Engineering Drawing Standards

[cbales]

Are there any plans to incorporate Model-Based Definition (ASME Y14.41 - 2019) in the drawing feature set?

Hi,

On engineering drawing Standards - which Standards are available and which ones are actually used in

Fusion? I would hope that at least there would be some kind of US Imperial Standard and some kind of

ISO International Standard.

Are there any ways to customise or import our own Standards implemented or planned? In Australia we

use a drawing Standard AS 1100, but there are several sub variants.

AS 1100 is an Australian Standard for technical drawing including both mechanical and architectural

designs. AS 1100 standard drawings contain attributes that are universal around Australia. The standard

is published by Standards Australia.

The standard consists of five parts,

• Part 101: General principles (1992)
• Part 201: Mechanical engineering drawing (1992)
• Part 301: Architectural drawing (2008)
• Part 401: Engineering survey and engineering survey design drawing (1984)
• Part 501: Structural engineering drawing (2002)

Model Based Definition (MBD) deals with annotation of the model directly rather than 2D drawings.

Autodesk Inventor Professional has tools to deal with this.

The separate question - 2D drawing Standards can also be set up in the Style and Standard Editor in Inventor Professional...

I understand. My questions was is Fusion going to enable in some future update its users to utilize MBD for their modeling?  I feel like the Fusion developers neglect the drawing aspect of the software. There are several other instances (section views, dimensioning, etc) in which Fusion does not follow the ASME drawing and dimensioning standards.  I am a college engineering and design professor and would love to integrate Fusion into my drawing and design classes but the lack of adherence to the ASME standards prevents me from doing this.  And I know that I could simply use Inventor in my classes instead of Fusion, but the hardware requirements and built in features such as simulation makes Fusion particularly attractive for engineering students.
