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.
Upload Zip File from SolidWorks Pack and Go
It would be useful to be able to upload a zip file that contains a SolidWorks pack and go assembly. This would make it easy to move files into Fusion 360.
Select Edges by Selecting Face for Fillet for Example
Having the ability to select all edges by selecting just a face would be nice when chain select is not possible.
Add 3D Mouse Support in Drawing Mode
Add support for basic 3D mouse functions in drawing mode:
- Pan: Left, Right, Up, Down
- Zoom: In, Out
