We all felt the frustration when you tried to loft a profile and got stuck because Fusion 360 didn\u2019t allow you to pick edges of solid geometry as rails. Well guess what? Now you can! Check out this example above\u00a0\ud83d\udc46. \u00a0Huzzah!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Improved!

Apparently G0, G1 and G2 continuity settings had different names in different commands. Sometimes we called G2 \u201csmooth\u201d, sometimes we just called it G2. Now we made it consistent across the software, so whether you\u2019re in Loft, Patch, Fillet, or a T-Splines tool, you\u2019ll see the same naming convention for curvature continuity: Connected (G0), Tangent (G1), and Curvature (G2).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Stability Improvements<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were able to fix a number of sticky crash issues related design workflows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Crashing on force quit issues fixed<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it wasn\u2019t just you. We noticed it too, and were somewhat stumped at first on why this was occurring. We dug into the code and were able to straighten out some tangled wires, and internal testing has shown the fix worked. If you still come across this issue, let us know. We\u2019ll make it right.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Expanding bodies folder in browser issue fixed<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/user\/viewprofilepage\/user-id\/3112916\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jon.bruner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reported an issue where he was experiencing hang-ups when he tried to expand the bodies folder in the browser. Let\u2019s just say that there were some weird calls being made that went to a non-existing number so we rerouted them to the appropriate places and now things should be dandy. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Loft issue fixed<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During testing, we found a bug in the Loft tool where checking off the chaining option and clearing the rail selection caused Fusion 360 to throw a fit. We told it to be more understanding and empathetic. How it behaves well.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>BRep to T-Spline conversion issue resolved<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We saw an uptick issues related to BRep to T-Spline conversions, specifically when you want to make a solid face into a number of T-Spline faces. The code was doing some wonky calculations that just didn\u2019t check out, so we went there and got it sorted out. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Missing link after insert issue resolved<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was an peculiar scenario where if you decided to re-insert a design from another project into the current design you have open (cross-referencing), the design that got inserted was no longer linked. Somewhere along the way the link got cut because Fusion 360 thought it was a local file. Whoops! This is now fixed.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Sketch fix:\u00a0<\/b><b>Copy\/Paste sketch circle with offset issue fixed<br \/>\n<\/b>There were some strange things happening with copy\/paste of a circle sketch with an offset because the newly pasted circle no longer had it\u2019s offset dimensions. We\u2019ve seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4574334\/\">Stranger Things<\/a>, so we promptly ventured in tothe wilderness and brought it back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Joints fixes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Magically moving joints debunked<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bug was very aptly titled by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/user\/viewprofilepage\/user-id\/1749303\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">robduarte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/fusion-360-design-validate\/magically-moving-joint\/m-p\/7153541\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OP on our forum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He was trying to place an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as-built joint and immediately after creating it, the joint\u2019s position jumped over to a new location. Magic? Nope. Bug? Yup.

Yup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Edit Joint bug fixed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve been following <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/fusion-360-design-validate\/edit-joint-bug\/m-p\/7326920#M129485\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this bug<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> closely and were able to squash it for this update. It was a serious one since it made feel like you were loosing data if you decided to go back and edit a certain joint in your timeline. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Missing Joint Origin issue fixed<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequently, the work we did to fix the previous bug also fixed an Joint Origin issue that would go missing if you tried to edit an inferring hole with discontinuous segments. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Sheet metal fixes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Flat pattern issue in 2D Drawings fixed<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We found a Mac-specific crash issue that would occur when you tried to document a sheet metal flat pattern in the 2D Drawings workspace. This apparently some code got mixed up when we were merging our code branches. This is now fixed.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Two Offset option now works properly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apparently something went wrong and it wasn\u2019t working correctly.

We fixed the error and now Safety Factor results are calculated correctly based on the Yield Strength of the material at the resulting temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Thermal Stress now includes Thermal Gradient simulation result type<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thermal-Stress-Thermal-Gradient-1024x848.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thermal-Stress-Thermal-Gradient-1024x848.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thermal-Stress-Thermal-Gradient-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thermal-Stress-Thermal-Gradient-768x636.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Thermal-Stress-Thermal-Gradient.png 1499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been using the Thermal stress and Thermal studies back-to-back, you\u2019ve probably noticed that the Thermal Gradient result type wasn\u2019t showing Thermal Stress study, whereas it was showing in the Thermal study. Not sure why there was this inconsistency, so we got it sorted out and now the gradient is available in both studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Name changes in the Model workspace updates correctly in Simulation Models<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty of working in Fusion 360 means that when you make a change to your CAD design, you can easily update your CAM toolpaths, Simulation studies, and 2D Drawings associated with that design. Apparently, component name changes weren\u2019t been tracked and thus were not being updated when you hop over from Model to the Simulation workspace.

You can create a template from scratch, or build off of any other existing templates you have saved in your project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re in the newly created template, place a base view to get started. Make sure you select the correct representation for your template. The representation will be the \u201csmarts\u201d that pulls in the right design asset to auto-create all those views on any given sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/template-representation.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"994\" height=\"545\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re creating an assembly sheet drawing, select the Assembly representation. If you\u2019re creating a sheet metal sheet drawing, select the folded component or flat pattern representation. If the base view of a template doesn\u2019t exist in the design , the template will simply skip that sheet and auto-populate all sheets that do have assets.. So, if you have a sheet metal sheet as a part of your multi-page template, and you use that template on a design that doesn\u2019t have any sheet metal parts, you\u2019ll get everything except the sheet metal sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got your template set up, save it to your project. Now when you want to create a new drawing of a design, you can select the respective template as a starting point and watch the base view and related info auto-populate as a sheet set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an example of using a multi-page template that contains Assembly, Component and Sheet Metal sheets. Check out how the new template works its way down the browser of the Design and automatically generates the appropriate sheet with the appropriate representations in a jiffy. With the click of a mouse you can now have the basics of your entire drawing package created instantly! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/smarttemplate2-1024x645.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/smarttemplate2-1024x645.gif 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/smarttemplate2-300x189.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/smarttemplate2-768x484.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, it\u2019s good to know that you can also save any existing drawing as a template and tweak it from there. This way you don\u2019t have to create templates from scratch if you don\u2019t want to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Bonus!<\/strong> Previously, after you placed your Base View, you were locked in to that orientation, which was really inconvenient. As a part of this new template work, we\u2019ve included the ability to change the orientation of any base view after it\u2019s been placed (both in Templates and in any Drawing). Just double-click on a base view to launch the Drawing View dialog and you can switch it right there &#8211; also any projected views created from that base view will appropriately update their orientation. Pretty cool stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8508 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-26-at-3.05.33-PM-258x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-26-at-3.05.33-PM-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-26-at-3.05.33-PM.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>New! Bend Notes in Leader Text\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bend-notes.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"555\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placing a leader note on a bend centerline will now give you the respective notes: direction, angle, and radius, making it easier to glance at a bend and know exactly what\u2019s going on with it. Double-clicking on the text will allow you to modify the note with familiar text editing tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>New! Option to display leading zeros<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/leading-zeros.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"555\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the Annotation Settings, you\u2019re now also able to display\/hide leading zeros. There\u2019s really not a standard to conform to here, but general best practices suggest to use a leading zero if the decimal is less than 1 since the decimal may be hard to see at a glance for some. It\u2019s really up to you and how you like to document your drawings, but here, you have the option, and this option can also be saved in your templates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Improved!<\/b> <b>Dimensions will now neatly snap into place<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dimension-offset.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"992\" height=\"538\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is nice. Now when you\u2019re placing a dimension, you can also feel it snap to a specific width (defined by the standard) for easier placement and predictable offsets. Also, when you place a dimension on top of another one, it will automatically align them above or below \u00a0the one it was overlapping depending on which dimension is longer (also to standard). QUICK TIP: If you hold down the SHIFT key, you\u2019ll get free placement and override the snapping behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a bonus improvement, right-clicking on a dimension before you finalize the placement will give you placement options such as Aligned, Horizontal, and Vertical. Neat! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>New! Centermark Pattern<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/centermark-pattern.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"992\" height=\"538\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the tooltip says, Center Mark Pattern lets you select holes, fillets, or the edges of a slot and create a center mark pattern. Supported patterns include full and partial circular patterns, linear patterns and even slots. If you have a curved slot, you can use one of its edges as a reference edge, and the tool will find the centerline of that slot. Toggling Full Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) will create a full 360 degree circle of that centerline. Toggling the centermark will place a major axis center mark on your pattern, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>PDF output issue fixed<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got reports of some of you trying to output your multi-sheet drawings as PDF and in return got an error message saying something about an unplottable sheet. We dug into this and found some wonky layer ordering that caused the output to freak out. No worries though, this is now fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>API &amp; Add-ins<\/h1>\n<p>A lot of exciting things here, mainly around 3 things: custom graphics, ability to check for changes, and access to CAM machining time. \u00a0What to know more? Here&#8217;s what Brian Ekins has to say.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Custom Graphics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a huge enhancement and is something a lot of you have been requesting for the past couple of months. The Fusion 360 API now supports the ability to draw your own graphics! The API refers to this as &#8220;Custom Graphics&#8221;. Of course you can draw graphics now in Fusion 360 but you have to follow the Fusion 360 workflows and are limited by what the software supports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you want to draw a wireframe box to show the user the bounding box of a selected body, you would need to create a new sketch and then draw lines in 3D space to represent the box. There&#8217;s a lot of overhead in creating this geometry and it results in new objects being added to the browser and timeline that you might not want. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using custom graphics you create graphics directly within Fusion 360&#8217;s graphics subsystem. They are displayed to the user and display correctly in relationship to the other Fusion 360 graphics. Another example is if you are creating some type of CAM system. You&#8217;ll be calculating the tool paths in your code and then will want to display them to the user and can use custom graphics to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom graphics are not limited to drawing lines but also support the ability to draw triangles and higher level geometry types like circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, and B-Rep bodies. More information about custom graphics is available in the<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=GUID-ED78D886-0B51-4FCA-98FA-A549EDEF7C04\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Custom Graphics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> user manual topic and several sample programs have also been added to the help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Check changes with &#8220;revisionId&#8221;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve also added support for a new property supported by three different objects that can provide some powerful functionality. The property is called &#8220;<strong>revisionId<\/strong>&#8221; and is supported by the Component, BRepBody, and Sketch objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The property itself is very simple. It returns a string, but that string changes every time the object you got the revision ID from is edited. This lets you build some intelligent updating into your programs. If you&#8217;ve written a program that draws some geometry based on a selected sketch and whenever that sketch is updated you need to redraw you&#8217;re geometry, this will allow you to determine if you need to redraw your geometry or not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you first create your geometry you can get the revision ID from the sketch and save it as an attribute with the data you&#8217;re creating. Later when an update is requested by the user you can get the revision ID from the sketch again and compare it to the saved ID. If it&#8217;s the same then there&#8217;s no need to update because nothing has changed. If it&#8217;s different then something has changed and you can update your geometry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same principle applies when using the revision ID with components or bodies. Which one to use depends on what kind of geometry your program is dependent on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&#8220;machiningTime&#8221; = better metrics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yup &#8211; the new machiningTime property on the CAM object returns a MachiningTime object that provides various machining time metrics, you can keep better track of how much time you&#8217;re spending on parts. The more data you have, the better decisions you can make on running more efficient ops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Notable Fixes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kungfumachinist<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/fusion-360-api-and-scripts\/sample-palette-does-not-render\/m-p\/7366126\/highlight\/false#M4606\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported a problem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where the contents of a palette was not displaying.
