Navigation Improvements<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- Kb9ydn<\/b><\/a> reported <\/span>this issue<\/span><\/a> where the orbit center (the green dot) doesn\u2019t show up when you\u2019re zoomed in too closely to a specific body that is part of a larger design. It was a bit shy, and now it\u2019s visible regardless of how much you\u2019re zoomed in.<\/span><\/li>\n
- We updated the order of how the Pan, Zoom, and Orbit options are laid out in your preferences. This makes it a bit more logical to go through. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Better Data Options<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- Many of you have reported <\/span>an issue<\/span><\/a> where you weren\u2019t able to open or save designs created in old versions of Fusion 360\u00a0after the last update. Our bad – this is now fixed. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Previously when you wanted to export a design from Fusion, IGES was the default file format that was selected in the file type drop-down menu. Why? No idea, so we changed it to the Fusion archive format (F3D) as the default.<\/span><\/li>\n
- There was an issue where if you wanted to export a component, the export would fail if the component name was not a valid file name. This is now fixed, and even better, when you do an Export or Save as STL on a component, it\u2019ll auto-populate the component\u2019s name so you don\u2019t have to type it anymore. Thanks\u00a0eric.strebel<\/a> for suggesting this in the IdeaStation<\/a> woohoo for doing less (busy) work!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0Better Measure Behavior<\/h2>\n\n- Previously when you used the measure command, it was difficult to select the center of a circle or various\u00a0snap points of interest. Now when you want to measure something, hovering over geometry will show you various points of interest where you can snap to, hold the Command\/CTRL key to alternate between your snap points, and voila (just like how our Joint tools work). This should make it much easier to determine critical dimensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Graphics and Rendering Improvements<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- We found a weird graphics issue where the filleted corner of a SAT file was not displayed properly, showing white jagged corners. This is now fixed.<\/span><\/li>\n
- There was a weird bug where the quality setting of the ray tracing option is stuck in quick mode even if you have it set to advanced mode. Restarting Fusion was the only way to fix this, but now we nipped it in the bud\u00a0and it’s fixed.<\/span><\/li>\n
- You can now set your own rendering environment default settings in the preferences such as scene, background, floor and lighting settings for new designs. This way you don\u2019t have to set the same environment settings every time you do a rendering. What\u2019s even better is that if you log into a different machine, your preferences will carry over and if that machine doesn\u2019t have the material you had set as default, it will automatically download that material for you. Boom. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/h2>\nCAM Improvements<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- Thanks to <\/span>adamvs<\/span><\/a> for submitting <\/span>this Ideastation post<\/span><\/a>: you can now copy and paste toolpaths between open Fusion 360\u00a0documents! SO pumped about getting this out :thumbsup:<\/span><\/li>\n
- Templates can now include notes, where they can be stored and reused.<\/li>\n
- There was a strange graphics issue where if you started a turning operation and switched to the radii tab, the canvas grid showed its values all scrunched together and the Z axis arrow manipulator would appear massive and extremely pixelated. It totally reminds us of playing Turtles in Time and throwing Foot Soldiers towards the TV screen. Good times. Now it\u2019s fixed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

A360 Enhancements – Sketchup Export<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- Good news! Many of you have asked for it – you now have the option to export designs in the SketchUp format from their respective A360 pages. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nOther fixes<\/b><\/h2>\n\n- We found some wonky behavior around the getting started panel and how it would show up on every untitled document. That\u2019s just silly, so now it only shows up when it\u2019s supposed to.<\/span><\/li>\n
- There was also a case where the settings set in the getting started panel didn\u2019t always carry over to the actual preferences, which they should. This is also fixed.<\/span><\/li>\n
- There was a crash issue where if you changed your active units in the browser and switched to the Animation workspace, back to Model, then back to Animation, Fusion\u00a0 360 would get frustrated at you and crash. It\u2019s now more mature and will no longer throw a fit.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Brian.Elemental<\/span><\/a> reported <\/span>this simulation issue<\/span><\/a> where the simulation report did not follow the deformation scale. We couldn\u2019t have said it any better: \u201c<\/span>No matter what deformation scale I choose the report seems to pick it’s own scale\u201d. This is now fixed by our Sim gurus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
