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 submissions from the week:
- File Preview – I think it would be helpful to have a file preview in the browser for when we are looking for a file and can’t remember the name.
- Bill of Materials/ Parts List – Easy Export without Drawing – Put the CSV export to make tab or assemble, or an export .csv option. Anything that is faster and easier approach without drawing.
- Joints in Animation Workspace – We really need the ability to suppress and un-suppress joints within the animation workspace.
