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.
Fusion 360 in Authenticated Proxy Environments
Allow a user to run Fusion 360 in an authenticated proxy environment, but also in a non-proxy environment at home, without having to create an environment variable that has to be changed each time a user changes locations.
Detatch Tabs into their own window
If I could drag a tab to another monitor, it would be a huge time saver.
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!
