Surface Texture 2D Drawing

[Anonymous]

Hi,

 I am trying to add surface texture parameter in 2D drawing. I am not able to position 0.4 surface roughness in it's proper place. Instead the only position Fusion 360 enables me is in one column below the line. Is there any way I can specify the roughness at it's proper position (above the tick mark)?

 Is Fusion360 planning to improve 2D feature? It's perfect for my 3D applications but without proper 2D drawings it's not worth much.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thank you for your robust feedback. What standard are you working to?

Out of the box, Fusion 360 drawings is standards-compliant. If your template is ASME, you get standard ASME surface symbols (annotations above the tick), and if it's ISO, you get ISO symbols (annotations below the tick).

Does this help?

Hello Clint,

 thanks for your prompt reply. Great! That makes sense.

It's weird however that wherever I checked the Internet ISO symbology looks same as ASME (ISO 1302).

 Another question here. In 2D drawing if I want to create sketch then the dimensions of that sketch are totally off.

For example I create a cylinder in 3D with a diameter of 40mm. Then when overlapping a circle over that cylinder in 2D sketch dimensions are totally different. Why is it happening ?

Hi @Anonymous 

If you place a dimension on a drawing view, it calculates the scale and gives your the correct dimensions, based on the size of the model.

If you create a sketch, the sketch is 1:1, so the dimensions are 1:1 too. See the images below, the Radius 10 circle in my sketch, is shown as a Radius 10 circle when dimensioned on the drawing.

The sketch tool is there for a sketch at 1:1, it is not linked to any of the underlying drawing geometry, it's just a sketch.

I see! Thanks a lot! Great help.
