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:
- Transition Between Windows with the Box “Change Parameters” – I believe you could add an icon to leave the box on the desktop for adding information without automatically feathering.
- Being Able to Get a Different Measuring Unit When in Measure – It would be nice if one is using mm as their unit and they go to measure, they can either see the inch number as well, or provide the user with a button to click to get a one-time different unit of measurement.
- CAM Template Toolbar – Can we get a template toolbar right next to the other toolbars?
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
