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:

• Extrude: Objects to cut selection interface enhancements – It would be great if one could click on one of the objects and then scroll down the list using the mouse wheel and it would be great to introduce standard shift / ctrl clicking to be able to quickly work through this list, particularly if the list is a bit longer.
• Ability to choose entire sketch as a profile – I want to be able to select sketch feature as a profile and use all entities from it to create extrude feature. No edges from the model should be taken in to account.
• In-place editing of reference parts & assemblies – It would be really incredible to be able to edit linked parts within an assembly without breaking the link.

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
