Who modeled that truck? And when can we buy it ;)

Why don’t you have a free license for Youtubers? We are doing free advertisement for Fusion 360 and suddenly we are forced to pay 450$ a year.

Does the all level option for the BoM extend to the smart templates? So can the smart template go into the sub-assembly and extract those parts as well?

Hello, how can i do one especial thread, for exemplo: Externa diameter 350 mm, internal 290 mm, pitch 28 mm. But I need that's pitch with a 2 mm channel and 26 mm elevate part.

Will it be possible soon to export a total BOM including all mechanical parts, PCBAs, and electronic components on PCBAs?

Tangency weight for fillets is kind of cool, and I can definitely see where it can be useful. The feature I'd personally REALLY like to see for fillets though is two-distance fillets, functioning essentially the same as the two-distance chamfers.

Hey Fusion, have you ever thought about making a tool that would trace a path? If I was making a complex joint, I would want to see the path a specific point would take. I think it would function similar to the point tool, but be treated a large an object on a fixed joint. It would make a line that could be projected, plane on path, etc

Text has never worked properly for me. If I extrude any curved letter (like a C), the curves are not a continuous surface but is divided into smooth segments with a hard line between them, which is very visible. This happens on all fonts including downloaded ones, so I don't think it's a local issue. It only happens in Fusion. This makes the text tool almost useless. The only way to get proper text is to use the font I want in a different program, then export it as an .svg, and import it into Fusion, where it now extrudes correctly.

This problem is annoying as these lines will show up on 3d printed models. There seems to be a problem with the way Fusion handles points on the curves that's in the letters. Does anyone else have this problem?

Still holding out for improvements to drawings, only thing keeping me still using AutoCAD.

Give my congratulations to the guy that come up with the text on path he untied my hands.Thank you!!!

Does Fusion 360 slow down noticeably for anyone else when there is a large number of components? Secondly, could I humbly request a generative design 7 day free trial for the education license? Lastly, thanks for the monthly update, as always!

Pleake all fusion 360 faster. This is the slowest program I have in my computer
