May 12th 2016 Update – What’s New
We made some critical fixes to ensure better stability during startup, prevent graphics-related crashes, and to fix the missing tools in your CAM tool library.
Fusion 360 Model of the Month – April
It’s officially a tie! Congratulations to Mark and Alex – the winners of the Model of the Month for April!
QUICK TIP: Rendering Motion Studies
Never send a manager or customer a standard grey CAD animation again. Make motion studies to demonstrate how your design functions and then take it a step further with a rendering of your motion study using cloud resources.

Your Ideas from the Fusion 360 IdeaStation
We take your suggestions very seriously as they help to shape Fusion 360, so please share your ideas and vote for new features / enhancements you would like to see. Here are a few from this week.
I would like to be able to move documents in the Fusion 360 data panel with drag and drop. Ideally the data panel would allow hierarchical view so it’s easy to move items around.
It would be great to be able to sort by name or modified date. Ideally it would work exactly like the online data panel, except files/folders/projects that aren’t cached would be absent or greyed out.
Would it be possible to make the toolbar more customizable?
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
Have a story to share? We would love to hear more about you and how you’re using Fusion 360! Shoot me an email at Shannon.McGarry@autodesk.com
