May is here and the team is working round the clock to deliver the next update in about a week driven by your feedback from direct conversations, forums, and the Idea Station.\u00a0 Thank you for all your ideas and please keep the conversation going.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An integrated form, function and now fabrication with CAM<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An integrated form, function and fabrication experience has been the vision for Fusion.\u00a0 We started with form and function with only a little fabrication, the 3D print utility.\u00a0 Now we are adding CAM to that experience with this update.\u00a0 We are very excited about it.\u00a0 So what does this all mean?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Users of our Windows based clients will now get Fusion 360 design and the tech preview of our integrated CAM tool.\u00a0 We weren\u2019t able to get all of the CAM software finished on the Mac (sorry) but we are targeting this capability for the Mac clients end of June.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Cam environment you will be able to create toolpaths from any design by using the new actions button. \u00a0These toolpaths are associative to the design from which they were created.\u00a0 Users working on these toolpaths will be notified when the design has changed and have the choice on whether to update. You can switch between designs and CAM toolpaths using the related data button or using the new related data \u201ctab\u201d shown in the dashboard.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Designs and toolpaths are managed separately in your dashboard.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this integrated CAD\/CAM experience in Fusion 360 we will be ending the CAM 360 beta.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Data and Collaboration in the Dashboard<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on your feedback, we know we need to do much more with the dashboard. \u00a0In this release, we have made significant improvements in the online viewer and added the ability to search into your models from the dashboard or even the item detail page.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other improvements include simplifying the sharing workflow by enabling you to invite anyone to collaborate on a design without having to add them to the project first. Now they will automatically get added to the project where the design lives. On similar lines, guests in a project can now invite more guests, as long as the project owner approves the invitation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have also made the insert component workflows easier by allowing you to search or navigate your projects to find the right component to insert.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Modeling usability and workflow improvements<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The focus in modeling has been to address usability and finish incomplete workflows based on your feedback in the IdeaStation.\u00a0 Below are a few of highly requested modeling features in the May update.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
