Drawings - Hole callouts, Chamfer edges, Surface texture etc

[Anonymous]

I've moved across to Fusion 360 from creo parametric and solidworks. I've been suprised how difficult some things are to achieve when creating a drawing of a part. 

Hole Callouts - The detail is there from the model, why can this be shown displayed on the drawing?

Chamfer edges - Again the detail doesn't seem to be transferable between model and drawing?

Dimension layout - It seems very surprisingly difficult to manipulate dimension locations, aligning them with other dims, I can't find a way to flip arrows etc.

Surface Texture - There appears to be a difference between ISO ans ASME when inserting a surface finishes. Why can you not specify a surface roughness min/max in ISO but you can in ASME

You can't select multiple dims/notes at the same time to change font size, set the same tolerance etc.

Many of these issues look to have been brought up years ago. Is there any likelihood of these features being included anytime soon?

Hello-

The Drawings Team has been working hard to add a bunch of new functionality into the Drawings Environment.

You can take a look at what's coming out with this Roadmap Blog: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/fusion-360-roadmap-update-2020/#Drawings

Hello Brad,

Thanks for the link, it's good to see what's being worked on.
However having looked through the roadmap there doesn't seem to be any
reference to the surface texture issue I was having.

In the ASME standard there is the ability to specify a surface roughness
max/min. But in ISO standards this option isn't available. If this feature
could be added to the ISO standards that would be very helpful. As When
sending out drawings I've been having to draw attention to what the surface
finish should be as it could be misinterpreted.

ISO surface texture options.

None of the options available using ISO standards allow the surface
roughness to be specified where it should be.

ASME surface texture options work as I'd expect ISO to.

Kind Regards,
