Feature Request(s): Properties dialog in design workspace

Can I make a request that the UI gets adjusted to accommodate descriptions and names that do not fit within the visible text box? Not sure the best way to handle it, but I don't think this is it...

Second request: Please add a manufacturer/vendor field to the general properties section so that when you are importing supplier models into your assembly you have a field that can transfer to a BOM on a drawing.

 

Third request: Once a design document contains a component and changes to an assembly document, perhaps have the material field for the top-level assembly default to blank/"SEE BOM"/"As-Assembled".

 

Regards,

I see that "Inventor" is in your Signature and would be interested in hearing what you are using Fusion 360 for.

Your suggestions indicate that you need more BOM functionality, but compared to more mature CAD systems, those requests are very tame.

 

I have started using OpenBOM and find it a very good companion for Fusion 360.  Although not cheap, it's worth the asking price due to all its functionality.

I use Inventor and AutoCAD at work.

 

My Fusion license is my own and more cost-effective for most of my moonlight activities. As far as the requests being tame... tis best to sip from a garden hose, rather than face the hydrant head-on. I'd rather personally request quality of life improvements and let the developers tackle the milestones especially since the drawings environment is still kind of coming into its own.
