2.0.2995<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are a couple of fixes dropping in hot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We fixed a bug that could potential cause memory corruption on startup, which is never a pleasant thing to experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also squashed a sheetmetal bug that crashed Fusion 360 when you tried to create a line\/arc on the face of a sheetmetal flange. Gross (but now it’s gone).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

April 19, 2017 Update – What’s New<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.0.2989<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Data Management<\/strong><\/h1>\n

New! Job and service status \u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"job_status\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re introducing a new icon next to your name in the top right corner. Click it and hover over the View Job Status area to see data uploads and simulation cloud solves happening at any given moment. This makes it easier to monitor what\u2019s been uploaded and the status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

New! Better Online\/Offline Switch<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"online<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right below the View Job Status section is a better Online\/Offline toggle switch. Toggle it and you\u2019ll go into offline mode. Toggle it again and Fusion 360 will reconnect and be back online. Simple, the way it should be. Offline mode remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New! Service Notifications<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"degradation\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh yeah, there\u2019s more. In case there\u2019s an unexpected service interruption, a yellow or red dot will appear on the clock icon. A yellow dot indicates unexpected latency or slowness in some area of Fusion 360. A red dot will automatically put your Fusion 360 into offline mode. Both yellow and red dots will go away when the issue has been resolved, and your Fusion 360 should automatically reconnect.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think of the online\/offline toggle as a light switch in your house. If you lose power, the switch remains on the \u201con\u201d position. If power comes back, your lights come on again.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New! Related 2D Drawings now accessible in design details<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Pasted<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now when you get into the design details of a specific design, you’ll not only see the versions, uses, and what it’s used in, you’ll also see the related 2D Drawings associated with the design. This will make it easier for you stay organized and find the right drawing for the right design in a jiffy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Modeling<\/strong><\/h1>\n

New! Interrupt\/stop a compute or timeline playback<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"timeline<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A couple of updates back we moved the play button to the middle. Now when you accidentally play the timeline, you can stop it from playing. And yeah, we know the feeling of uncertainty not knowing whether a compute is happening correctly or if it\u2019s hanging the software. That\u2019s why you can now also press the <\/span>ESC key to stop a Compute All, a parametric feature edit, a Finish Form, or Finish Base Feature<\/b> that\u2019s taking forever to compute. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improved! Move command only captures final position when moving components<\/b><\/h2>\n

We noticed that every time you moved a component with the Move command, it would give you the option to \u201ccapture position\u201d on every move instance. No no no. What really should happen is for the command to capture the final position, not all the incremental ones in-between. Now it\u2019s working correctly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improved! New group folder now appears at the top <\/b><\/h2>\n

\"bodies\u00a0We mentioned in a previous update that when you were able to create new group folders within the Bodies folder to keep things tidy, yet when you did this, the new group folder went all the way to the bottom, which was annoying. Now when you create a new group folder, it appears at the very top.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improved!<\/b> SHIFT+select now only<\/b> <\/b>includes visible features in an active component<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

There as was weird behavior where you SHIFT + select a series of timeline features in an active component, other features in other components that were committed in that timeframe also got included. Now SHIFT+select only includes visible features of that specific active component, as it should. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
