Events
Pacific Design Show – FoMT Presentation
Attend America’s Most Comprehensive Design & Manufacturing Event and come and see us at the Autodesk and Delcam booth #3277
Attend this session to learn the basics in Fusion 360. This is intended for those out there who are completely new users of Fusion 360 and 3D design. After an introduction to the user interface, time will be spent learning how to navigate, changing workspaces, sketching, and primitive modeling and drawings will be covered.
Meetup – Desktop CNC Machining, Los Angeles, CA
We will go through a quick overview of Fusion 360, which covers conceptual design, solid modeling and fabrication. You will also see one of our partners, Othermill Machines in action, and see where ‘the rubber meets the road’!

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.
Option to add material during draft angle inspection
It would be quite convenient if there was an option to add material in these areas of negative draft by basically filling in the area created by the nearest zero-draft edges.
Gravity as option in contact sets
When applying contact sets, it would be great if gravity was able to be applied to see how components interact with eachother. This could just be a check box that you can turn off and on when applying contact sets.
Export models with color texture maps, such as .obj and .wrl
I have some very time consuming method to help work-around this, but that cost me lots of time (money).
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
