This includes all the advanced tools currently in the Manufacturing Extension package: Additive Manufacturing, Hole Recognition, Probe Geometry, Surface Inspection, and Steep & Shallow strategies. When you go into the Manufacture workspace, those tools will be enabled in the toolbar and you\u2019ll be able to use them at no cost. [icon name=”arrow-circle-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Learn more<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [icon name=”heart” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Connect with Design and Manufacturing Communities<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Many of us on the Fusion 360 team are helping our local communities make personal protective equipment (PPE). If you\u2019d like to help your community, have ideas you\u2019d like to share, or are looking for information on how to get involved, we\u2019ve created a live page a list of organizations\u00a0 you can get involved with, and directions for how to submit your own ideas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [icon name=”arrow-circle-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]\u00a0Support your communities <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n V. 2.0.8176 | April 27, 2020<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Manufacture<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [icon name=”thumbs-up” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]\u00a0 Improved!<\/span> New Tool Library (Preview)<\/b> <\/p>\n We\u2019re working hard to build a new tool library that gives a great user experience and allows you to manage and use your tools efficiently. We\u2019d love to hear your feedback on the <\/span>New Tool Library <\/span><\/i>forum thread<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Invalid Tools<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We now handle invalid tools within imported libraries in a way that allows the user to initially identify which tools in the library are invalid. This is achieved through changes to both text type and color. The user then has the ability to edit the tool with missing or incorrect values through the highlighted tab and the invalid field will be identified with a message. Once the field is edited with the correct value the changes can then be accepted and the tool will be valid for use.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Linked Parameters and Locked Parameters<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within the Cutting data tab we have linked feed rates with expressions and added a visual FX symbol to identify which values are linked. Users can click in the field and edit, the driven changes will then be updated in the linked field. The user can choose to break the link by adding a value in the field and the FX symbol will no longer be present.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Length and offset numbers are defaulted to the tool number and this link is indicated by the FX symbol. The user can alter the tool number with the confidence that the offsets will change also. In the event that a different offset number is required then the field can be edited and the FX symbol will no longer be present.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [icon name=”wrench” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] [expand title=”Issues Fixed – Click to expand”]<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/expand]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A number of you have reported graphics issues ranging from component edges turning white to sketch lines disappearing when creating primitives bodies. We discovered that if you have your Transparency Effect in your preferences set to \u201cBetter Display\u201d, something was not working properly. We were able to nip this in the bud and all these issues are not gone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n API\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meeloo<\/span><\/a> told us about an <\/span>issue in our API<\/span><\/a> where apparently\u00a0 bunch of libs were missing from the code. They are now back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n V.2.0.8156 | April 15, 2020<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of you reported that when you expanded the Create drop-down menu in the Design workspace, the menu doesn’t actually drop down, it flew up! This has now been resolved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n V.2.0.8111 | April 13, 2020<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [toc]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
