January 2025 Update and Community Bug Fixes (Design)

Hello to the Fusion Design Community! 

In anticipation of the January update going out next week, we've again decided to do an early drop on the details of what community reported bugs have been addressed this time around! If you want to get an early jump on these fixes, you're more than welcome to apply for the Insider Program and get early access!

As always, we greatly appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to notify us of the issues that you find in Fusion, and we would like to show that appreciation! 

In an ongoing effort to increase our transparency as well as our communication with you, we're continuing with our initiative of calling out all the Forum Reported bug fixes that are included in each update. The list below comprises all the issues that have been raised by our engaged community. So, without further ado, here is what we're going to see in the January 2025 update (creator of forum thread and the thread itself, in no particular order):

Design

Named Views and Automated Drawing should result in usable Drawings	@bas1l
Sketches shouldn’t be showing as “Fully Constrained” when they are not	@MortenGuldager
Fusion should no longer be freezing on Sketch Offsets	@StuffAndyMakes
Renaming Configurations no longer requires the Context Menu; simply “click twice” Similar Request Similar Request	@Julie_7
You should now be able to create Box primitives on the face of your choosing	@crueby1
Time settings mismatch shouldn’t prevent logging in to Fusion	@Alero63
If “Loft” preview is successful, the resulting form should be as well	@zornzack
Design History is now captured for imported models (follows User Preference) Similar Request Similar Request	@smallfavor @ddpedersen @tdcambridge
Combine should no longer be placing Components where it feels like it	@RogerInHawaii
Primitives should no longer have the memory of a goldfish regarding parameters	@mooshwa

Just as in prior updates, this isn’t to suggest that those are the only fixes that we've included in the update. The list above are the issues specific to what’s been reported by the Design community; within this update our team has additionally found and fixed well over 100 different bugs and issues.

Still haven’t seen your issue on the list and wondering if/when it's going to get fixed? Don't hesitate to "bump" the original thread that you created, and I'll be happy to chase down the status of your issue!

Thanks for contributing to what makes the software truly great!

I'm not sure what fixes you guys thought you fixed. But whatever you did. PLEASE undo!!

Cuz, it jacked everything else up. I'm sure others will chime in on Monday.

being specific about what's jacked up would be useful here.  since most of the fixes are legit it's doubtful they would just whole sale roll everything back.  

pic, vids, example models are all helpful when they can be produced.

This update really is a beauty.

I didn't think there was any way you can produce this amount of bugs, but lord be hold.

On one of my computers, the browser is completely useless, I can't hide, show, activate, drop down the tree, nothing. So that makes work completely impossible.

On second computer, the browser somehow works, but for the first minute of using it, I can't create sketch on top of any surface, only to origin 3 planes so again, say good bye to working with it. Probably the list would go on and on, but I can't even go beyond using the basics anymore.

Please use tests before releases, before forcing these updates down our throats.

To top it all off, there is no way to get customer support to contact me. I've created tickets for a week now and no reply from your end.
