Buckling is important to test for, even if a static stress study determines your models won’t yield. Watch this tip to learn how and when you should do this.
Technical Evangelist, Curt Chan showcases a simple workflow on applying joints and limits to a 5th-axis machining vise; as well as updating the stock material parametrically with parameters.
If you’re new to animations in Fusion 360, this is the place to get started!

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 popular submissions from the week:
- Scale Improvement – The one feature I think should definitely be added is the Scale by a reference, it’s kind of similar to calibrating a canvas in Fusion when you give a specific length for something and everything is scaled accordingly.
- Preference to Disable Auto Constraint Creation – I desperately wish there were a way to turn off auto constraints in a preference setting.
- Sketch Pattern Along a Path – The pattern along a path should be added to the sketch as well.
