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 this week:

• Measure total length of multiple lines – I wish there was a way to select multiple lines and get the total length of all the lines.
• Dimension on the isometric drawings – I need to be able to add basic dimension on the isometric drawings for overall sizes for people to see an overview of the project.
• Tool library organization proposal – The problem now is when looking at the tool library with multiple setups, all the tools are just mixed together, making it a mess to sort through. My proposal is to add another drop down under the document file you’re working on in the libraries panel on the left.

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
