This exchange is desirable due to the position of the component in the PCB. The same action can happen with a gate. A gate will consist of multiple pins, components will have multiple gates which have the same function. For these gates, Gateswapping empowers you to swap with gates that have the same function. As stated earlier, this helps you to optimize the component on the PCB.\u00a0 This Pin Swap and Gate Swap were options only available in the context menu or the command line. These actions are now available in the Modify pull down menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Drawings<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>[icon name=&#8221;star&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;]\u00a0New!<\/b><\/span><b> Title block management<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawings &gt; Sheet Settings &gt; Title Block &gt; Hover &gt; Change Title Block<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2516\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM.png 2516w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM-1024x255.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM-768x191.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM-1536x382.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Screen-Shot-2020-09-11-at-2.28.18-PM-2048x510.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2516px) 100vw, 2516px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Per popular request, we\u2019re bringing you greater control over your custom title blocks with this release, adding the ability to both rename and delete them after creation.

Attributes can be queried based on the names and values, which allow it to work as a naming mechanism but attributes allow you to do much more than just naming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entity Tokens are different in that they act as a permanent reference to a specific entity. Any entity that supports this capability will have the entityToken property. Calling this will return the entity token, for the entity. It\u2019s up to you to save the returned token somewhere so you can use it later.\u00a0 The token is a string and can easily be saved in an external file or even in the Fusion 360 file in an attribute.\u00a0 To use a saved entity token, you use the Design.findEntityByToken method and if that entity still exists Fusion will return it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to be careful of when working with entity Tokens is that you should never compare entity token strings to determine if they represent the same entity. This is because it\u2019s possible to get an entity token from an entity at one point in time and get an entity token for the same entity at a later time and the entity tokens might be different. However, when you use the findEntityByToken method the same entity will be returned for both tokens. So, if you need to know if two entity tokens are for the same entity, you need to use both of them to get the entities they represent and then check to see if the returned entities are the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">[icon name=&#8221;star&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;] New!<\/span> <\/b><b>Explicit B-Rep Creation<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You now have the ability to explicitly define a surface or solid model.\u00a0 Previous to this, all models have to be constructed by combining a series of features, using temporary B-Rep functionality and the basic primitives and booleans it supports, and translating geometry from another source.

It also allows someone to create a translator that can import geometry from any other source into Fusion 360.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">[icon name=&#8221;star&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;] New!<\/span><\/b><b> Ruled Surface API Support<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also added support for the creation and edit of ruled surfaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>[icon name=&#8221;thumbs-up&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;] Improved! <\/b><\/span><b>Python and VS Code Authoring Experience<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The integration with VS Code for writing and debugging Python applications has been getting significant enhancements over the past few releases, but with the last release we broke a few things\u2026\u00a0 With this release we have got things back on track and made some major improvements.\u00a0 One is that we have migrated the python debugger from PTVSD to DebugPy which should allow a more stable environment in the latest MS Python extension and when running directly from VS Code.\u00a0 There were a few other issues related to running directly from VS Code that have also been addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>[icon name=&#8221;thumbs-up&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;] Improved!<\/b><\/span><b> CAM API<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CAM API has recently been extended to allow for more automation within the CAM workspace.
