What's New in Fusion 360 Design & Engineering - June 2020

Check out this update to see all the enhancements coming to Fusion 360 in design and engineering. Ruled Surface, Parting Line Draft, and new languages are just a few of the updates coming to Fusion 360 this month.

Dude. No one uses drill bits by radius. Make the lower right hand dimension indicator “diameter” please.

Best update yet with DFM injection molding draft angle tools. Been waiting for this forever. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[nicolascloos]

Nice!! It would be awesome as well if fusion could let you set custom line weights in your drawings, not only the ISO or ASME presets!

[addtankionline]

YESS drafting normal to a curve!! brilliant. Also i'm going to be using the drawings space more often now since it is way more intuitive and less frustrating lol.

[oJacksonXavier]

Nice changes! Please, include "project a line on a surface" tool.

[Ozieneercs]

hello, awesome.. greeaat .. but, where is the DARK UI theme ????§§???

[welbot]

omg yes!! drafting options will make a smashingly great improvement!!! thanks!

[gabedarrett]

Please add equation defined curves (2d and 3d) and other 3d geometry like planes. Also, being able to add a center of gravity in the drawing workspace would be awesome

[barkster]

I'm looking to make a part like you show called Box V2 do you have any video that uses that model for tutorial?

[MATIACHITV]

Man all of this is cool, but what about hardware accelerated rendering? Unless there's a setting I don't know about, can I utilize this fat GPU that's sitting in my PC doing nothing? Thanks in advance lol!

For Fusion Team :
I have seen Fusions Drawing Module lacks behind from Inventor, A suggestion The Dev Team of Fusion must really talk to the Inventor Dev Team about Drawings, if one cannot publish their work in the form of awesome engineering drawings it's a bummer to name a few shortcomings Hole Table / Dimension Leader behaviour / Revision Table / Auto Fills of File Attributes like Version No. Etc are all a miss, maybe the fusion team can stop at the Inventor Office they not on cloud but they good

For next month’s update it would be great to hear about your plans to support Apple Silicon.

[americorosales]

very good we have a lot to learn from fusion 360, but we need to practice all of this new things, can you tell me how can I find it .

[JonathanOsorioF]

Ok, thats really nice. Now it´s time to translate Fusion to Spanish so the guys here won´t have any excuses to use it.

[ikbo]

We need deformation tools please! Waiting years for this which is available in both SW and Rhino. 🙏

[tarui]

Great. Nothing on native support for stls.

[PREDATOR]

"Since I can barely speak english myself" yeah right.Seems native level to me..

[hoanggiagia]

Can you give me a 2d drawing of that device?

Will we ever see update delivery and installation optimization? Not everyone has a SSD, and Fusion's extremely unoptimized method literally causes application freezes, and at times will lock the system up due to abnormal amounts of disk usage. Literally every other modern program has optimizations that don't cause these issues. Another thing to go with this, update upon close, rather than update upon start, which only exacerbates this optimization issue.
Another issue is the amount of junk data Fusion has after months of use. It gets to the point where the software is unusable, requires an uninstall, use of the cleaner tool, which should honestly be built into the uninstall tool by modern standards, and a fresh install. Another optimization issue.
This is annoying, and slightly infuriating, as a hobbyist, but I can't imagine using this software if I had a paycheck that relied on it. If my job was hindered by these optimization issues, I would seriously consider looking elsewhere for software, especially as Fusion would be a paid product in that situation, and that issue only gets worse as a company scales, it's time and money lost. It's 2020, give us proper optimizations, shit like this was understandable decades ago, but it's unreasonable in modern terms.

Speaking of it being 2020, Fusion is a bit late on giving us a dark UI. Most modern software gives it as an option, if not having it pre-applied out of the box. Having a dark-ish workspace isn't enough, as the UI itself is still blindingly white, and the contrast between the two exacerbates the issue of why we need a dark UI. It's not even that difficult to implement, so why don't we have it yet? Just like the previous issues I stated, it's something we should already have, but for some reason don't; does the Fusion team just have bad priorities, or are next implementations just from throwing darts at a board?

By the way... what is the deal with Spanish?? Second most spoken language in the world and you do Italian first? I can get myself around and translate the commands for you and make you some tutorials to start with.
