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:
- Deburring Intersection Holes – CAM Toolpath Needed – What would be great in F360 is a break edge feature/toolpath.
- Pin Connector in Fusion 360 Simulation – Fusion 360 should allow to evaluate axial, shear forces, bending and torsional moments on the beam element in order to use this data to evaluate pin failure.
- Plain English Error Messages – Fusion 360 is meant to be a more user friendly CAD software for the casual maker. Yet at the same time, the error messages are written in barely comprehensible technological gobbledegook.
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
