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 popular submissions from the week:
Add basic features of AutoCAD electrical – I think it would be great if in conjunction with the current capabilities of Fusion360 that it could add electrical schematic and layout capability.
Custom revision numbers – I’d like to be able to name revisions to show they’re release versions.
Enable panning during offset command in sketch without losing selection – Currently when you’e in a sketch and you start the 2D offset command, the selection is lost with any middle click.
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
