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 the week:
- Carrying Stock Between Setups – I want to be able to use the result of operation 2 to use it as stock for the operation 3. Changes on the design or the CAM operations of operation 2 would have to automatically be reflected in the stock for operation 3.
- Break Link on Move Copy and Pattern – It would be a very good addition if it was possible to always break link in all copy, moves, and patterns.
- Add Plywood and Beech to the Materials List – It would be extremely useful if these were added to the materials list, as it has a wide range of uses, from aircraft parts to chairs.
