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.
It would be nice to be able to assign color to bodies (as well as automatic color toggle similar to one that works for components).
I think adding a variable chamfer option, like what you can do with fillets, would be a very useful option.
Section view of bearings, gears etc.
If not an automated feature it should be enabled for the users to quickly cleanup the drawing after creation.
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.
