Drawing Environment Functionality

[Dave_Ash]

Having produced Manufaturing drawings for 23 yrs In Autocad LT im now Trying to replicate the same standard of drawing in the drawing space of fusion. I have come across the following stubbling blocks. i know its a different programe. but would expect some similar functionality.

Text

• No Spell check.
• Can't change default Text colour

Text Leader Note:

• Only single lead lines can be made
• Lead line can't be restrained to be Horizontal.
• Text is always under lined no option to not have them underlined
• There is no way to make a leader to the face of an object, it has to be to an edge but how do the person know which edge you are talking about. In my instance i want to label the face of a drawer front with the finish and not the edge.

Detailed Views:

• Lines are solid not dotted, so they look like part of the drawing.
• There is  No rectangle detail view make for a lot of wasted drawing space Depending on what you are detailing

Justifying text:

• You cannot truly make text centre justified by using the Text Tool the insertion  point still stays top left however the detail view automatic text does actually create a centre justified text with the justification point staying middle bottom which is ok. The only way to get this is to copy the detailed view Text.

Lines in the views:

• There is No way to hide a line in a view. Sometimes  THE  client don’t want to see a join that will be invisible on the end product.

Line

• There is no way to make a line other than to move a centre line. I like to keep all my annotation in a nice neat line so my drawing don’t look messy.

Hi @Dave_Ash 

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

There is a lot to unpack in your post. Some of what you are looking for is possible, some of it, is what I would classify as new feature requests. But all of which is really important to us.

I would love to jump on a call with you, to discuss how you are using our drawings package, and to try to get a deeper understanding of the frustrations you are seeing. I can also share workflows & settings that will achieve part of what you are looking for.

If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a Zoom session with me, I would love to connect and learn more.

Hi @Dave_Ash 

I've just tested it, and it's working perfectly.

Please try an incognito window, or private mode (whatever your browser's equivalent is).

Hey @ClintBrown3D ,
I'm seeing the same thing I assume @Dave_Ash is.

I searched the forums and found a link that works correctly for me.

Hope that helps @Dave_Ash and you get in touch for a chat.

I should have posted the way i got there was to remove all the text after the last forward slash in the adrees window after you click the link.  Crazy i know but it worked for me.

so thats all the jargon after ...... bookings/

[Dave_Ash]

Would be nice to see some major steps forward in this area.

90% of the points are unresolved/ still as they where at time of post.

are there any planed improvments?
