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.
Add the machining time to the bottom right corner next to the operation when you select a CAM operation.
A non-planar face selection filter
When it comes to direct modeling and the de-featuring of imported models, it would be nice to have a filter selection of “non-planar faces”.
CAM: Ability to set a Post Processor default
Please add a preference setting in CAM for letting users specify a default post processor and an option to access any cloud post processors.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
