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 some important updates on recent submissions:
- madengineer13 ‘s idea of dimensioning to the edge of a circle sketch has been accepted! The ability to do this via pick points will be available in the next update.
- Admaiora’s idea of having the ability to join mirrored bodies right within the mirror tool has been accepted! This is part of a series of Mirror tool completeness effort we have planned. Timing is still TBD.
- benoitD336P’s idea of improving the Circular Pattern tool with the ability to set angle between instance has been changed to future consideration. The team reviewed and think that this is something we can get to close to first half of next year.
- Jellyam posted an idea to turn off or hide the comments panel. You can in fact do this view File > View > Hide Comments. We have thus marked this as implemented!
