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 from this week.
Cutting & Pasting from Non-Fusion CAD Programs
Cutting and pasting entities from non-Fusion 360 CAD packages like AutoCAD. This would by sweet!
Component update notification in the timeline
It would be useful if the need to upgrade a component was visible in the timeline (yellow triangle).
DNC Communications and toolpath editor
I would love to see Fusion incorporate communications into their program, much like Mastercam did with Cimco Edit.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
