Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the advancements we&#8217;ve made this year.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"assembly-enhancements\"><strong>Assembly enhancements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image002-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image002-2.jpg 857w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image002-2-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image002-2-768x683.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You asked for better assembly tools in Fusion, and we&#8217;ve been working diligently this past year to make your workflows smoother and more intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key enhancements we launched this year was the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/introducing-ground-to-parent-a-new-assembly-tool-in-autodesk-fusion\/\">&#8220;Ground to Parent&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> feature. Now, when you create or insert an external or internal component into an assembly, the first component is &#8220;grounded to parent&#8221; by default. This feature allows you to easily select other components to be grounded to the parent through the right-click menu in the browser, and unground them in the same way. By helping eliminate the need to create a joint, Ground to Parent helps by reducing timeline clutter and saving you clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=ASM-GROUND-TO-PARENT\">Ground to Parent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another exciting addition is the &#8220;<strong>Edit Initial Position&#8221; (EDIP)<\/strong> feature. This allows you to modify the initial position of a component directly from the context menu, without adding new features to the timeline. This streamlines the design process and is applicable in both Parametric and Direct Modeling environments, as well as Edit in Place (EIP) mode and the PCB package generator workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=ASM-EDIT-INITIAL-POSITION\">Edit Initial Position<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also introduced a new <strong>&#8220;Insert Component&#8221; command<\/strong>. Previously, inserting a design into another design required navigating the Data Panel, which was not always intuitive. Now, a formal command on the toolbar&#8217;s &#8220;Insert&#8221; panel simplifies this process. This command opens a file browsing dialog, allowing you to select and insert designs as xref components into the current design. These improvements are part of our ongoing efforts to enhance Fusion and make your design work more efficient and intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"offset-enhancements\">Offset Enhancements<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls muted src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/offset.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also made some exciting enhancements to our Offset capabilities, designed to give you more flexibility and precision in your projects. With the new &#8220;<strong>Two Side Offset&#8221; <\/strong>feature, you can now create offset geometries on either side of your selected geometry at the same distance, giving you the option to link or unlink the two offset dimensions. This means you can set a primary offset dimension, and the secondary offset dimension will automatically adjust as an expression of the primary, giving you better parametric control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of upgrading our Offset experience, we released the <strong>&#8220;Offset of Offset<\/strong>&#8221; feature, which allows you to create an offset from an already offset geometry. This eliminates the need to create multiple offsets from a single parent, streamlining your workflow. This feature has been highly requested and now applies offset dimensions and constraints with respect to the selected offset child. To round out the enhancement we followed up with &#8220;<strong>Match Offset Topology&#8221;<\/strong>, a feature that gives you control over topology changes during offset creation, so any changes in geometry or parameters that would alter the topology of the offset child are visually indicated and not allowed, preserving the integrity of your design.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"continued-investments-in-configurations\">Continued Investments in Configurations <a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/FWN-Sept-2024-Config-joints-1920x1080-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We spent a good portion of this year filling in critical usability gaps in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/configurations-autodesk-fusion-overview\/\">Fusion Configurations<\/a>, such as the ability to autocomplete parameters in the table, duplicate configurations, configure aspects of mesh bodies, leverage our API, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the latter part of the year, we delivered new capabilities to enhance your Fusion Configurations workflows. We introduced a <strong>Configure tab<\/strong> to some of the most-used modeling commands in Fusion, allowing you to configure aspects as you model without interrupting your design flow. We also simplified the process of configuring the placement of components in an assembly by introducing configurable <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=CFG-JOINT-SNAP-FLIP\">Snap and Flip<\/a><\/strong> aspects for Joint features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These highlights are only a small portion of what we\u2019ve launched this year, from updated UI to a more user-centered table experience there is so much to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=CFG-OVERVIEW\">Configurations<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strengthening-the-fastener-library\">Strengthening the Fastener Library <\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2716\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2396 \/ 2716;\" width=\"2396\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rivets-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2023, we added an integrated fasteners library to Fusion, and since then, we&#8217;ve been committed to enhancing your experience by continuously increasing the variety of fasteners and making the library more user-friendly with every update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year we added many enhancements sprinkled throughout the Fastener Library, let\u2019s break down a few of our favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fastener Favorites<\/strong>, allows you to create a subset of frequently used parts for quick access without the need for searching or browsing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The<strong> &#8216;Replace Fastener&#8217; <\/strong>command enables you to substitute an existing standard part with a different type, such as replacing a hex head bolt with a socket head bolt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Fastener Search<\/strong> function helps you quickly find the fasteners you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Flip option<\/strong> lets you reverse the joint direction when placing fasteners on a sketch point, providing greater flexibility in your designs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&nbsp;An expanded model database and new Rivets category<\/strong> give you more options to find precisely what you are looking for when you need it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These enhancements are designed to make your fastener placement more efficient and intuitive, allowing you to focus on your design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how to <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=SLD-INSERT-FASTENER\">Insert a Fastener<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drawings\">Drawings <\/h3>\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Discover the Power of Drawing Automation in Autodesk Fusion\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3DkUlbgnw-8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We started off the year strong with the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=DWG-AUTO-DRAWING\">Automated Drawings<\/a>, which enable you to save significant time by automating the tedious steps of creating a drawing.
