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:

• Match Versioning on Drawings and Parts/Assemblies – It would be great if I could have a way to keep the drawing version and the part version the same.
• Version Parameter Reference for Drawings – I would like to be able to have a version number parameter that I can enter into the drawing information that would automatically update when the drawing is updated to match that part.
• Folders for Sketches – I’d love to have the ability to group and organize my sketches in a similar way to how folders can be used in Photoshop or Adobe Premiere.

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
