Fusion browser observations.

First, the default for new files as Y up, don't know anyone that uses that standard. Comes up often on the Fusion forum and seems strange that Z up is not the default.

 

I noticed you've added Tinkercad navigation, any chance you can add the mouse navigation options available in the desktop version, Alias, Inventor and Solidworks.

 

The browser version only has constrained orbit, free is far more useful for 3d design. I only see constrained as useful for viewing a finished model, trying to work with it is like trying to juggle with one hand tied behind your back.

 

When you sketch several circles new circles highlight if it's the same size as an existing one, any chance a constraint can be created if you click with the highlight active?

 

Spotted a problem with 2 sided extrude, there's only an option for the angle on one side!

You can add the other angle in the properties manager but the results don't look correct.

Hi Mark

 

Thanks for sharing

 

For z-up models, a fix is on it’s way for design that have been saved with z-up configuration with desktop version and are then opened with web Fusion 360. (There is issues with this at the moment) That’s a first step.

 

I did had the following in our backlog of required improvements

Switching to z-up design by default

Having free orbit for navigation

Automatic dimensioning of circles

 

The issue for not having taper angle parameter available for the second side of a both side extrusion is duly noted and will be fixed as soon as possible.

 

Thanks again for sharing these important observations.

Hi again Mark,

 

I just realized that when in a sketch with a constrained circle and creating a second circle, when you reach the point where second circle turns red because it's the same diameter as first circle, pressing enter 2 times will create the circle and automatically add the diameter constraint (See linked Gif) What do you think about this, good enough?

 

Regards

Pierre

@pierre-yves.monarque No that doesn't do what I want as it just creates a new dimension, an equal constraint is more useful as the circles are then linked so changing the first updates all with the equal constraint. Maybe use Alt click when the circle's highlighted to add the equal constraint.  

 

Also when adding picture use the Photos option to embed rather than attach so the image's visible in the post please.

Ok Thanks Mark.

I will log the improvement request as an equal constraint. (With alt click or replacing the automatic dimension)
