January 2025 Update and Community bug fixes (ECAD)

Hello to the Fusion ECAD Community! 

In anticipation of the January update going out next week, we've decided to do an early drop on the details of what community 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!

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 2024 update (creator of forum thread and the thread itself, in no particular order):

ECAD

Just as in prior updates, this isn’t to suggest that those are the only fixes that we've included. The list above are the issues specific to the ECAD 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!
