Setting your UI at 125%, 150%, or 175% scale may make it appear disproportionate. The application window may also move offscreen while it resizes into these specific percentage scales.&nbsp;If you try this preview,&nbsp;we\u2019d&nbsp;love to hear your feedback. We have a plan set in place for improving our scaling performance, and your&nbsp;feedback will help guide us in the right direction.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fknowledge.autodesk.com%2Farticle%2FWindows-offscreen-when-using-Scaling-Preview-in-Fusion-360&amp;data=04%7C01%7Ckeqing.song%40autodesk.com%7C799cc21091aa436d2d8d08d8b982fbb2%7C67bff79e7f914433a8e5c9252d2ddc1d%7C0%7C0%7C637463319500743790%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=ax6dNBy5dap%2BTSxlDywBZxQ67zAVhG%2BZDVj7Ebbi7V8%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about High DPI Scaling<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>[expand title=&#8221;See notable fixes&#8221;]<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Now if you have \u201cUse high resolution graphics\u201d&nbsp;option&nbsp;turned on under Graphics section of your Preferences, you can now also&nbsp;go to Display Settings &gt; Effects in the Nav Bar and turn&nbsp;on\/off&nbsp;Anti-Aliasing and\/or Ambient Occlusion.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/user\/viewprofilepage\/user-id\/3375465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Igorva<\/a>, among&nbsp;a few others, have told us that when they tried to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/fusion-360-support\/photobooth-render-environment-does-not-load-hangs\/m-p\/8306710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download the Photobooth rendering environment<\/a>, their Fusion 360 decided to&nbsp;overthink the task and freeze up.&nbsp;We dug into this and found out that it was related&nbsp;the&nbsp;default environment setting in the Preferences.

With small&nbsp;pin count&nbsp;devices,&nbsp;this task can be accomplished relatively fast. But&nbsp;when&nbsp;working with FPGA&nbsp;or&nbsp;BGA\u2019s&nbsp;with&nbsp;a large&nbsp;number&nbsp;of&nbsp;pads, mapping the pin&nbsp;to&nbsp;the pads is a time-consuming&nbsp;task.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;With this new feature you can build&nbsp;a&nbsp;device with a single symbol or multiple symbols and re-use the existing pin-pad mapping. This is a huge time saver when working with&nbsp;components&nbsp;with large pin counts.&nbsp;The main advantage of this&nbsp;is that it makes it easy to split a large BGA symbol into multiple gates. Often pre-made parts&nbsp;just give a single monolithic symbol, with this feature you can make your own symbol configuration and re-use the mapping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New!&nbsp;Preference for Electronic Grid Settings<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><em>Preferences &gt; Electronics&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Reset Grid&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-38.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-38.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-38-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-38-768x539.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new option, you can have the grid reset to the default values when you load your designs or continue to work with the grid setting you have been using.

Last year, in our January 2020 update, we released workflows that would allow you to take generative design outcomes and the associated linear static stress setup to Ansys Mechanical and Discovery with the click of a button. In this release, we are expanding this functionality to allow you to send any&nbsp;Fusion 360&nbsp;design, part or assembly&nbsp;and with or without generative components, to Ansys Mechanical and Discovery 2021 R1 from the Simulation workspace. Further, we have expanded this workflow to allow for transferring study information from Modal Frequencies, Linear Buckling, Nonlinear Static Stress, Thermal and Thermal Stress studies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=SIM-EXPORT-ANSYS-INSTALLED\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sending setups directly to Ansys<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=SIM-EXPORT-NO-ANSYS-INSTALLED\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exporting an Ansys setup file<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about using Fusion 360 and Ansys products together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/autodesk-university\/class\/Simulate-Anything-Fusion-360-and-Ansys-Interoperability-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simulate Anything: Fusion 360 and Ansys Interoperability<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/autodesk-university\/class\/Innovate-Faster-Capitalize-Autodesk-and-Ansys-Technology-Partnership-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Innovate Faster: Capitalize On the Autodesk and Ansys Technology Partnership<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drawingnbsp\"><strong>Drawing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>New!

Using this simulation, you can perform what-if studies by testing out different part orientations or support structures. This extension also allows you to generate&nbsp;a compensated&nbsp;geometry in order to reduce&nbsp;distortions and&nbsp;achieve the desired shape when 3D printing. Please note that you will need to have access to the Additive Build Extension in order to benefit from this simulation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-45.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-45.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-45-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-45-768x416.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-300x162.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-9-768x416.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?contextId=EXT-MFG-ADDITIVE-SIMULATION\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See tutorial on process simulation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New in Preview!&nbsp;Automatic update of Posts and Machines&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><em>Preferences&gt;&nbsp;Preview Features&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Manufacture &gt;&nbsp;Automatically get latest Posts and Machines<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"67\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-42.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-42.png 685w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-42-300x29.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this release,&nbsp;we are also changing how&nbsp;we add&nbsp;new&nbsp;3D&nbsp;printers&nbsp;and posts&nbsp;to Fusion 360.
