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:
- Bend Body Like in Inventor – I think this is a very useful feature for most that is missing in the Fusion 360.
- Share Public Link View Only by Default – My idea is that download permission should be switched off by default. It’s something that should be explicitly turned on by user.
- Gentle Warning That You Might Be Editing a Component That is Not Actually Active – It would be really nice is Fusion 360 gave a kind little hint that you might not have the right active component (selected component) in the Browser.
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
