What's New in Autodesk Fusion for September 2024?

Welcome to the September 2024 edition of What’s New in Autodesk Fusion! Look forward to a more personalized onboarding experience, an improved loading screen, and title bar upgrades. The electronics workspace will see a new DRC engine and import capabilities from KiCad design and libraries.

Drawing automation now allows for default dimensioning strategies and regional decimal delimiters. Simulation and generative design features now support global loads, manufacturing features, better toolpath dialogue workflows, and vendor tool libraries integration.

Join the future of design with Autodesk Fusion 2024, pushing the boundaries in design and manufacturing software.

The most important update for Mac users is not discussed here. They have fixed the issue with child windows (like the browser list) showing up in other non-fusion applications when working in a multi-desktop (Spaces) environment. I have been testing this with the insider release for several weeks and it works great now. Thank you !!!! The new offset capability is a terrific addition.

[C.AMohammedMeeran]

Please bring Dark Mode.
I am impressed with the Offset command update.

thanks for the development! I'd love to see a way to create sub folders in the parameters dialog box. For more complex models with 100+ parameters it would be great to be able to organize and find parameters more easily. Also it would be great to be able to move parameters location in the dialog box so that the parameters are not locked into the order they were created in.

Dark splash screen???? Does this mean dark mode is maybe being worked on? It’d be epic! Please save my eyes!

Day 269 of asking for proper Dark Mode in Fusion

[RisingStairways]

Some really great stuff here. Especially the parameter export and joint manipulation.

[Pjwwoodcraft]

Please add timestamps and labels for each new feature, would make jumping around to things that are relevant to each user much easier

[carbonarne]

great video! thanks for showing and presenting!

[mtnbikeman]

Just fix the offset so the handle knows to stay on the side you pulled it to and you dont have it jump to the other side if you forget to type negative numbers

[MagnusOlssonMalvik]

Show in location!! OMG such a small thing but how much I have missed it!

If i can wish for something more please add a reverse direction when you add countersunk holes.

[octojim]

we really need auto-display of draft angle on mouse-over in the draft view analysis view as it has in SolidWorks, the offset changes are gratefully received, but auto dimensioning needs some work as tidying it up and makng sure all the dimensions that are important are there takes longer than dimensioning from the start manually

When you showed the guy being blinded, I thought our dreams were finally coming true- Dark mode! Instead, you've... make the splash screen black? Which then, according to your own footage, opens to a bright white interface? "We've heard your feedback" feels REALLY tone deaf here. Is that intentional satire? It has to be.

[willibaldkothgassner]

Why do you underlay this terrible noise to your important complex lesson ???

[philiphaahr]

Love the avoid and machine faces!

But you should really fix Steep and shallow, contact point boundary feature, i have wrote 5 reports now in the insider, and it hasen't worked correct in a year now!
And i cant get as good surface finish in injection moulds with 3D Contour and scallop/Parrellel!

[davesvo]

Just fix the stupid heights selection, the highest selected/ lowest selected is stupid and hard to understand model top, stock top, model bottom, stock bottom was 1 billion percent better and intuitive the new system is garbage and unnecessary.

[Patrick-]

Fix keyboard shortcuts. So many functions don't have them at all, and there's no customisation.

[Reactorjam]

Why did you change the 3d print setting, it was much easier to use before to just open a model in a slicer

[christiancoats]

The machine/avoid feature is very confusing now. For example, when using the scallop tool, it defaults to scalloping the entire area under selection. I can't seem to change it to allow me to only scallop the few areas within that boundary that need scalloping. Someone please help.

[SebastianLarsen]

For the love of Cake: Let us set all the navigational keyboard shortcuts instead or alongside the presets for Alias, Inventor, etc.
