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 popular submissions from the week:
- Have the option to enter a dimension name when entering dimensions – It would be nice while entering a dimension to have an option in the dimension box to enter the dimension name instead of just assigning a dx value to the parameters.
- Better highlighting in browser tree – When you mark “Find in Browser” the result should be shown with a contrasting color instead of the wave line – which is very hard to find when you have a lot of things in your browser.
- Render image maximum size – Please remove the image size limitation to 4000pxl, even if it costs more credits.
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
