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 from this week.

 

On chamfer/fillet size error, snap to greatest error free size value  IdeaStation

When the fillet/chamfer becomes too large, make the value in the dialog box set to the largest possible value that would not result in an error condition.

 

New free form measurement tool

A great new tool that designers would use often is a free form measurement or ruler tool.

 

Option for thickness remaining the same when bending T-Splines surface

If I add thickness to T-Splines surface and bend the surface, there is no feature/system to keep the thickness constant.

 

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
