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:
- Move Folders Between Projects – Please jump into 2018 and add the functionality to move folders between projects!
- Intelligent Dynamic Tolerances – I opt for a way of assigning tolerances to holes, and where this tolerance will actually be in the 3D model, and you can change easily. And if you would export the 3D model to a STL file for printing, the tolerances get included.
- Getting More Screen Space – We can get more space to see bigger drawings and details, if we shrink these areas and icons.
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
