Hi:
I just switched from Solidwork to Fusion 360 and something just happened to me that I never encountered in solidworks. I did a model of a flat piece and followed up with the creation of a drawing. Everything good so far the drawing showed the top view of the part. Now I created two countersink holes on my model and even after updating the drawing to the latest version of my model I still can't see the hole represented in my drawings. Why is my question , Solidworks always updated drawings when change were made on the model. What did I do wrong, or what can I do to make sure that the holes in my part get represented in my Drawings.
Please help me with this problem, and on another note, Solidworks allowed me to create holes that would be modeled from the screw size and type that I wanted to use, with different clearances that I would pick depending on my design, Can I do that with FUSION 360? ( Pick a screw size and type with a certain type of clearance and the hole information for that screw would be supplied by Fusion 360)
Looking forward to hear from you
using the hole command under create you can set the size of the hole ever a counterbore or countersink or a straight out hole.
it depends on how you have done the part to how it acts if you can attach the file you can be guided from that, there are a few gotch ya's in fusion what are completly different to any other cad program, it's more than likely one of them that is the problem

Right now you're expected to key in for yourself the hole info. In a way I know this sucks but I'm pretty sure Fusion team is aware of it and is somewhere in the roadmap. We can only wait I guess

Are their plans to allow the drawing module to create accurate drawings improving the overall quality as well?
I just tested it and the module still produces and exports the following problems:
Curves are often drawn as line segments not making smooth profiles
edges are not coincident to each other producing open gaps in part drawings.
the first is a question of visual quality
the second is a question of accuracy - nothing can be open

The line and curve quality problem is present since the introduction of the drawing module in MacOS or WinOS and to me got never solved.
This includes naked edges, overlapping edges and smoothness issues arcs drawn as lines.
This basically happens with every design I do which is why I do not use the drawing module. It is not usable for further work like giving
it to somebody for CNC work and such.

If you want we could meet online F2F and take a look at things but to me this seems not a usable solution when you do want to do more with the data.

if there is a way to improve this via settings let me know!

So here are screenshots of the paths created in WinOS and MacOS.
Both are a disaster.
And here is a screenshot from Rhino. The curves are cleanly represented.
No noise in the curves - no segments in the curves - no overly complicated and dense curves. Just pure nice and clean curves.
That is one if not the main reason we still do drawings with Rhino either for documentation or when sending it to manufacturing for
CNC wood cut and such.

Perspective views in Drawings would be great.
In the Properties panel, it is only possible to choose isometric views.
An opportunity to choose perspective views, will be perfect for full page technical illustrations and assembly drawings.
This will also be necessary to create PATENT DRAWINGS.

Note: If you save a Drawing as a PDF – import it into Illustrator and clean it up, you will have a very nice drawing you can use to make great illustrations, when combining with other graphics. And if you add a week and small offset shadow to the line, it will stand out a bit and look very nice. With An opportunity to choose Perspective views, this will be even more useful.
