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 
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!
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
