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:
- Offline Data Storage & Replication to Disk or Network – I think it would be really useful, if you in Fusion 360 could choose to set up replication folder locally, where all your data was always stored locally too.
- Escape Button = Cancel? – This is the idea: to make the escape button equal to clicking the button “cancel” with the mouse.
- Parameters Management and Parametric Configuration Management – I can think of a few things to improve parameters management (which can also be used in configuration management.
