Your Ideas from the Fusion IdeaStation
We take our user’s ideas very seriously so please share your requests and vote for new features / enhancements on the IdeaStation.
This week we received 20 new ideas. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
New idea to expand the 2D drawing tool commands.
Product team – “Thanks so much for the feedback, Gabriele. Our team is working hard to fill out the Drawings feature set and bring it out of Technology Preview – rest assured that all the items on your wish list are on our roadmap so stay tuned in future releases to see these features delivered!
Curvature graph along surfaces not just edges
Accepted idea to have a curvature graph along surfaces.
Product team – “This would be a useful analysis capability and likely would work with a cross-section command where multiple sections could be defined.”
Idea under future consideration to save custom materials independent of a scene.
Product team – “Thanks for the suggestion. We will be addressing this in a future release. If any other forum members have similar wishes please add your comments here and be sure to vote for the suggestion.”
