Without further ado, let\u2019s dig into the latest Usability, Collaboration &amp; Data Management update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Data, Collaboration, and Usability teams are focused on making Fusion easier to use for teams of users trying to build products. With that focus in mind, we have balanced our efforts on growing general capabilities for all users with some of the advanced PDM capabilities needs for our growing team base with tools like Manage Extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the critical things we have launched in the first half of the year include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Manage Extension<\/li><li>Insert Trace Parts<\/li><li>Sent to Fusion 360 from Inventor 2022<\/li><li>USDZ Export<\/li><li>Arrow Keys to Navigate design browser<\/li><li>Additional localization to Korean and Spanish<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manage-extension\"><strong>Manage Extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In May, we introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/exploring-change-management-with-the-fusion-360-manage-extension\/\">Manage Extension<\/a>. Change is inevitable with product development, which can create confusion.&nbsp;A simple mistake like transposing two numbers within a part or drawing number can lead to scheduling delays, scrap, or rework. Similarly, when there are&nbsp;dozens of&nbsp;versions of a design or drawing,&nbsp;understanding&nbsp;which version is the final one that should be made or bought&nbsp;by customers can be confusing.&nbsp;There isn\u2019t enough information to&nbsp;give consumers&nbsp;confidence&nbsp;that they\u2019re grabbing the correct version.&nbsp;Now, with the Fusion 360 Manage Extension, you can overcome these challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"introducingnbsprevisionsnbsp\"><strong>Introducing Revisions <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve added&nbsp;a new&nbsp;revision&nbsp;concept&nbsp;with the Fusion 360 Manage Extension. You can create revisions using one of two features: Quick Release and Release&nbsp;with&nbsp;Change Order.&nbsp;Once a&nbsp;design&nbsp;or drawing is&nbsp;released, your team will receive a new revision value.&nbsp;Unlike milestones, you can locate revisions within the new properties dialog, the history dialog, and within a drawing\u2019s parts list and title block.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image001.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image001-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image001-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image001-768x769.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Revisions within the Fusion 360 Manage Extension.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;act of releasing&nbsp;a new revision&nbsp;will also&nbsp;mark any&nbsp;parent&nbsp;design&nbsp;or drawing&nbsp;out of date. Updating them will consume the revision, as expected. However, more recent&nbsp;versions created after the revision will not&nbsp;cause the parent designs and drawing to be&nbsp;out-of-date\u2014at least not&nbsp;until a new revision is released. This process helps ensure assemblies&nbsp;and drawings continue to consume the latest revision while a component awaits pending changes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unique-number-creation-and-assignmentnbsp\"><strong>Unique Number Creation and Assignment <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Numbers are critical in communication within a company that makes products. Whether one refers to a part or a drawing, these assets are usually&nbsp;identified and&nbsp;referenced by&nbsp;their number.&nbsp;If you duplicate a number, this results in confusion and downstream costs. The Manage Extension includes a feature to generate and apply a number to a component&nbsp;or drawing in an automated fashion, helping ensure each number is unique.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"873\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image002.jpg 873w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image002-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image002-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Automated design and drawing numbering with the Fusion 360 Manage Extension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"releasingnbspdatanbsp\"><strong>Releasing Data <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For more ad hoc organizations that need to revise their designs without a formal sign-off process, the Manage Extension includes a Quick Release. This feature will apply a revision to the version of the component or drawing opened within the canvass.&nbsp;Additionally, Quick Release&nbsp;is&nbsp;helpful as&nbsp;a part of&nbsp;a pre-release&nbsp;process. It provides a numeric-based revision value to indicate to others within the organization that the design&nbsp;or&nbsp;drawing has reached a point of maturity worthy of&nbsp;their time to consume&nbsp;in their work.&nbsp;This indication gives&nbsp;early visibility&nbsp;and encourages earlier feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"managing-changenbsp\"><strong>Managing Change <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The second method for managing data change and release with the Manage Extension is using a change order. The change order provides a formal sign-off process for releasing new revisions. It has all the basics covered for change management,&nbsp;including an overview page for the change, a page to control the outcomes for the affected items, and a workflow map to manage the progression of the change through its process.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image003.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image003-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image003-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Creating a change order with the Fusion 360 Manage Extension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve preconfigured the workflow process to ensure customers can hit the ground running with the Manage Extension. As part of this preconfigured workflow,&nbsp;users will select the change&nbsp;reviewers and approvers at the start of the&nbsp;change&nbsp;process. If stakeholders who influence the decision&nbsp;become reviewers, they can add their inputs during the review phase of the process.&nbsp;Approvers, on the other hand, have the final sign-off&nbsp;authority&nbsp;for the change order.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help keep all participants on top of their tasks, all change order participants will receive notification through email when they have an action to take. For example,&nbsp;reviewers and approvers&nbsp;will&nbsp;receive an&nbsp;email&nbsp;when the&nbsp;change order transitions to the review phase. They will also find a new entry in their \u2018My Outstanding Work\u2019 list on their process dashboard,&nbsp;which helps users&nbsp;stay on top of all the change tasks pending their action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change orders will remain available within the Manage Extension after being implemented, approved, and closed. This availability provides a new means of traceability that can help meet compliance with various standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image004-382x216.jpg 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>An example of a change&nbsp;order&nbsp;included within the Fusion 360 Manage Extension<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-new-data-management-experience\">A New Data Management Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We have also added a new Home Tab experience, giving users the ability to navigate&nbsp;all&nbsp;their projects and process data directly within Fusion 360.&nbsp;A key part of this&nbsp;experience is the&nbsp;Process space. The Process space&nbsp;provides&nbsp;a way to easily access the change orders&nbsp;created with the Manage Extension, along with their&nbsp;related design and drawing revisions.&nbsp;This new experience also&nbsp;includes a dashboard,&nbsp;providing&nbsp;an&nbsp;overview of everything in&nbsp;process. For example, there are a set of preconfigured charts that you can use to view&nbsp;the number of changes pending&nbsp;within Fusion 360 or a view of change orders by reason code. Users will also find their \u2018Outstanding Work\u2019 list, which helps them track all changes requiring their attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new data experience is only available to Manage Extension users today but will be rolling out to all users in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image005-382x216.jpg 382w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>New Home Tab experience&nbsp;included with the Fusion 360 Manage Extension.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-access-the-fusion-360-manage-extensionnbsp\"><strong>How to Access the Fusion 360 Manage Extension <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The Fusion 360 Manage Extension is available from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/what-are-fusion-360-extensions\/\">Extension Manager<\/a>&nbsp;within Fusion 360.&nbsp;Once purchased, an administrator must enable the Manage Extension&nbsp;capabilities&nbsp;for the Fusion Team site.
