Fusion 360 Blog
I recently wrote a blog post for the official Fusion 360 blog, outlining some of the latest features that we added to the last release of Fusion 360. I thought I'd share a video of the new tools in this blog post. The main features that we added in the September release were: Arrange Dimensions... Continue Reading →
In the August update to Fusion 360 we added control over Text Height Groups. This enhancement give users control over the text based annotations on drawings, including Balloons! The default setting for Text Height Groups is "Medium", changing this to "Small", or "Large" with scale all text elements down or up proportionally. Dimension arrows, text... Continue Reading →
If you have ever wanted to hide specific rows in your parts list, then this is the quick tip for you! The video below shows how you can hide rows and re-number items. https://youtu.be/thjXodr5OlY We are constantly improving drawings in Fusion 360 - in August 2021, editing Parts lists is a bit of a workaround....

I've been asked how to create a "Relative View" in Fusion 360 by users transitioning from SolidWorks. The good news, is that it's very simple in Fusion 360, simply use a "Named View", the video below explains exactly what you need to do, enjoy! https://youtu.be/N2pXkChd3NY
Breaking or restoring the alignment of projected or section views is effortless in Fusion 360. Simply hit the Shift key while dragging a view to break or restore alignment, it's that easy! Here's a quick video showing Alignment in action: https://youtu.be/SLePaq1HAF4

What may not be obvious, is what happens behind the scenes, and how the drawing is scaled. Here’s how printing from Fusion 360 desktop client works. Fusion 360 prints 1:1 when the paper size of the... Continue Reading →
I was looking through the Inventor API samples and I came across some code for applying "Break Views" in the Inventor drawing environment. The API sample works quite well, so I thought I would adapt it to work with iLogic and add some additional functionality to make it more useful. My code adds in view... Continue Reading →
I've written a bit of iLogic code for a rather niche problem in Autodesk Inventor, but it is something that you may come up against at some stage, or something I may need to refer back to in the future! When Inventor drawings are copied, particularly during a "File > Save As > Save Copy... Continue Reading →
I've written some code to automatically create drawings from Autodesk Inventor part and assembly files. The idea that I used for this blog post was to have a drawings template file set up with views, and to then simply replace these views with a given model as needed. The GIF below shows how the code... Continue Reading →
