February 11, 2016 Update – A360 What’s New
In this update, we’ve added several new enhancements to A360. These enhancements will help design teams interact with their Fusion 360 data in a web browser.
QUICK TIP: CAM Component Pattern
Reduce time when programming multiple parts in Fusion 360. The CAM Component Pattern can pattern tool paths to different components in the machine.
EVENTS

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.
Well, this one is a no brainer! If I have to make 50 STL files for prototyping, I should not have to type the name of each part when creating the STL file.
2D Chamfer – Preserve order option
2D Chamfer – Needs Preserve Order option. When I have multiple parts on a machine it now appears to order by depth and causes the tool to jump back and forth between parts.
Add PCB as a Material & Appearance
After seeing what you guys managed to do with wood I’d love it if you could make a simple (or complex if you wish) Printed Circuit Board material/appearance.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
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 Justin.Hoey@autodesk.com
