Architectural Dimensions in Drawing

[Farzati.Scott]

OK, so I looked this up because it is the first time I am using the architectural dimensions in Fusion.  Problem is that once you try to do a drawing you are limited to inch or mm format.  This was addressed all the way back to 2016 and was to be on the roadmap for additions.  Guessing that Fusion isn't to be used in this application?

Fractional Dimensions are available in the Fusion 360 drawing environment so I am not sure what you are talking about in your post.  You can also enter fractional dimensions in the model sketch environment if you desire.  Once enter they are displayed as decimal but you can still enter them in fractional.  If i misunderstood your statement, please clarify.

Yes, you are correct that fractional dimensions are available in the sketch
environment by changing the preferences. However if you want to go and
create a drawing that can be printed it converts dimensions to inches or mm
respectively.

What I'm experiencing is similar to the original post: Using Architectural (feet + Inches) in the Design workspace does not carry over to the Drawing workspace. Only inches or mm are available in the drawings... not feet + inches.

Feet and Inch dimensions are NOT available in Fusion 360 2D Drawing Environment, Fractional dimensions are.  @Farzati.Scott in his last post stated incorrectly that fractional dimensions are not available in the 2D drawing environment.

Perhaps I wasn't clear on the point I was trying to make, but was by the previous post.  In what world would you create a drawing which represented architectural representation of say 12' 6-1/2" as 150-1/2".  There would be a lot of confusion put forth to builders & architects alike.  I only was in need of this option for a floor design on a in house project.  I was tasks with drawing the floor plan of a new building.  Everything being presented in inches only was unacceptable.  The point was that you could draw in Feet & Fractions, but unable to create a drawing...  Hope this clarifies matters.  To my knowledge it is still not addressed from the original post prior to me.

Considering architectural dimensioning is available in the Design workspace, it seems to be an oversight for it to be missing from the Drawing workspace.

I've submitted my feedback regarding this issue to Autodesk via the Fusion 360 desktop Profile>Share feedback tools. The addition of architectural dimensioning to drawings is not currently on the Fusion Drawings Roadmap. It might be addressed if more users ask for it via the feedback tools. 

If the link below gets munged by the reply tools, google "2D Drawings Roadmap for Fusion 360".

Welcome to 2022 and this basic problem has still not been fixed.  VERY annoying.
