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 this week:
- Text Along Path – I would like to add a command that allows text to follow a sketch path.
- Mirrored Instance – It would be really handy to have the ability to create a new instance of a component, like the copy/paste method, but adding the mirror capability.
- Weldments and Structures – I would like the ability to make welded parts and see weld beads and create welding drawings.
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
