That hasn\u2019t changed. What has evolved, thanks to valuable feedback from our Fusion Insiders, is how clearly we guide you into the right workflow from the start. We\u2019ve introduced intentional paths for beginning your designs (hence intent-driven), offering a more structured, file-based approach for complex assemblies while still preserving Fusion\u2019s powerful real-time collaboration. And now, this experience is available for everyone to turn on and try.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-intentdriven-design-work\">How does Intent-driven design work?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1501\" height=\"909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/intent-driven-design.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81547\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new Intent-driven design preview enabled<ins> (Preferences &gt; Preview Features &gt; Intent-driven design experience)<\/ins>, Fusion gives you even more control over how you start your projects. When you start a new design, you can now choose to begin with a Part Design, an Assembly Design, or stick with the familiar Hybrid Design approach. If you want to start with a Drawing or Electronics Design right away, you can do that too. For now, we\u2019re going to focus on Part Design, Assembly Design, and Hybrid Design.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-a-partnbspdesign\">What is a <strong>Part<\/strong> <strong>Design<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM-1024x626.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM-1536x938.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.26.36-PM.png 1722w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all about focused part-level geometry creation. Think models that only have one part, or a single part of a bigger assembly. Part design is intended to be a single design with a focused timeline and structure. Notice that you can also set your part type (solid or surface), preferred units, length, and mass right from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019re not sure where your project is headed or which path to start with, begin with Part Design. You can always insert it into an Assembly later, or switch smoothly to an Assembly or Hybrid Design type as your project evolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" data-id=\"81567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM-1536x989.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.44-PM.jpg 1674w\" 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=\"412\" data-id=\"81562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM-1024x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM-1024x412.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM-768x309.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM-1536x618.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.28.53-PM.jpg 1674w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-an-assemblynbspdesign\">What is an <strong>Assembly<\/strong> <strong>Design<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1722\" height=\"1052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM.png 1722w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-19-at-3.29.42-PM-1536x938.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1722px) 100vw, 1722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting an Assembly Design will enable you to bring your part designs together into structured assemblies, where you can insert external components into the assembly design or create new components to edit them in place.
