What makes this integration so special is that the result you get is real editable CAD geometry you can use for manufacturability.

This is a space where all of your projects are organized and keeps everything you create separated from the next Fusion 360 user. Everyone has their own hub, but when you\u2019re working in a team, personal hubs can be quickly become cumbersome, confusing and complicated to manage. This is due to its lack of data management tools; that\u2019s where Fusion Team comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-table MuiTableContainer-root\"><table class=\" MuiTable-root DhigTable--verticalAlignment--top\"><tbody><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Fusion Team: easy access, greater control<\/b><\/span><\/td><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\"><strong><span style=\"background-color: #87bc40; color: #ffffff;\">&#128640;Coming Soon<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"background-color: #87bc40; color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/fusion-team.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/fusion-team.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/fusion-team-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/fusion-team-768x455.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fusion Team is the cloud collaboration platform powering the Fusion 360 data management capabilities.

Derive workflows will allow you to derive parts of an assembly for specific purposes, with better control and greater flexibility. What&rsquo;s powerful about this whole thing is that you can edit the derived parts and maintain associativity to its original source (across projects) at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, if you wanted to reuse a part from one project and put it in a design that exists in a different project, you&rsquo;d have to save that component out as a separate file, where associativity is no longer maintained with the source component. If you share a part to your machinist and your machinist needs to design soft jaws and fixtures for it, changes you make to the part will make your machinist&rsquo;s job even more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Derive enables you to &ldquo;derive&rdquo; that part and share it with your machinist, where they can build soft jaws and fixtures around it in their own project, while still maintaining associativity with your original part in your project. Once you make a change to the part, your machinist can update their derived part and take those changes, without needing to manually update all of their work. You will still control the source, while your machinist can control the derived part and additional edits made to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is so much more to this we want to talk about, and we&rsquo;ll do it in a separate deeper dive post coming soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maturing-our-existing-features\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>Maturing Our Existing Features<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re excited about getting our hottest technologies ready for you to use, but since the very beginning of Fusion 360, we\u2019ve built our culture around listening to you, understanding your challenges, and making sure that we are addressing your needs.
