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:
- Nesting for CAM – Can auto nesting parts on flat sheets for CNC routers and similar flat sheet materials / equipment be added as a feature?
- Troubleshooter – You guys should come up with a Troubleshooter: a tool that shows exactly what causes a fillet/shell/chamfer suddenly to fail, WHY it can’t be calculated as desired.
- Shell Enhancement – Is there a way to implement a blender shelling ability to Fusion 360?
