Fusion 360 / Blender: Location toolbar for worldcoordinates

Anonymous

Is there a toolbar or menu for the world locations of (an) object(s)? like this example in blender? position of cube is X0 Y0 Z0, if i would add +10X it would move 10. if i would like to insert a new object i could place it at X60, just by typing +60 in the toolbar. is there a way in fusion 360 to see and adjust the location data (world coordinates). thx in advance...

No, that toolbar does not exist, because in CAD this is not. common workflow. However, you can use the move tool and use that UI to move the body to a given location.

However, then there is no toolbar that will tell you the location of that object in reference to world coordinates.

learning autodesk software as a blender user is learning to work in a different way...

Actually that is not right. From Rhino to Alias to SolidThinking they all offer object origin, location, scale, rotation and global local transformation.

 

Thats why I paired in the past Alias and Blender because both work the same workflow/approach wise!

yeah I dont model with T-Splines in Fusion a lot but use Blender for that.

 

Fusion can load OBJ files and then I continue working adding details in Fusion.

 

It is a great workflow utilizing both apps to the best.

True. I should have probably have said traditional MCAD. I also need to clarify that I don't meant to say that this would not be useful. In Blender I find it very useful.
