- In this video we are going to take a look at the new updates to Autodesk Fusion for September 2024. Fusion got a handful of updates and we don't cover them all so if you want to see everything that has been updated or added check out their official blog post here:

We are going to focus on the improvements to the Design and Drawing tools in this update.
Freeform Bevel
Sketch Offset
Parameters
Configurations
Ground to Parent Joints
Drawing Delimiter
Automated Drawing Template Settings
External Component Save Location
Not being able to offset an offset is something that use to frustrate me like crazy so very happy for this change. Thanks for all your videos! I always learn something.
1000%
They finally added off-set from an off-set. Now it'll be even more useful! 👍 Great video as always!
Thanks, and 100% its a welcome addition.
Man, those offset changes are so welcomed! Also very happy about importing and exporting parameters. Thanks for another great video!
Glad you like them! Yeah the parameters import/export is finally a thing without the need for some external add-in!
Thank you very much for the very comprehensive review of the updates and fusion! You have really cleared up a lot of issues for me particularly in the configuration management tool. The inability to do multiple offsets and a sketch has always been one of my frustrations, glad to see it's finally been addressed. Please continue sharing your information and insights. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Best update yet!
The new offset is finally a great feature. Two sides and match topology is a great addition!!!
agreed.
My jaw literally dropped open when you got to being able to import/export parameters. I’ve wanted this since I started using Fusion, and it’s a bit puzzling why it took so long to add it.
It took a long time to even get an If statement :)
defintily need a ' project as construction lines options.. as well as make construction when doing offsets or flip original to offset
totally agree.
Correct... I also remember that bavel could be used at an internal edge. I guess they ran into issues with the crown option... It's a bummer though.
Thanks for confirming my sanity! As soon as the adjacent faces aren't planar you can use the Bevel tool, which i guess is the main time you would need it, but just seemed odd.
Great explanation of the update. Thank you
Very welcome
I wish they'd add American paper sizes to drawings. A4 paper doesn't grow on trees on this side of the pond.
if you use the ASME standard and select the A sheet size its 8.5 x 11. If you use the ISO standard you will need to use the Custom sheet size if you need it to be 8.5x11 though as yes A4 isn't actually what we have here.
Hi hi,
Offset command. Draw an object second make it a construction line(s). Select offset, select object, select two sides, define the distance. Both offset lines will be normal lines
Nice tip Eric. It is certainly possible to do but does require an extra step. Other programs like Solidworks have a checkbox to default the selected curves to construction. Converting to construction manually with X isn't too bad, but they were so close :)
Hi matt just wait for the next update 🤣🤣
Really wish you could directly use local parameters to parametrize external components
That gets very tricky to manage in Inventor. I think the best you could do is use the Edit in Place functionality and add Assembly Contexts. it would take a bit of work and is 100% a workaround, but if you need that functionality that might be a way.
Nice overview!
Thanks!
offset an offset is useful
sure is!
Moved to FreeCad a while back. Fully parametric, imagine adjusting your model with a spreadsheet. No more bloatware for me.
Im sure freecad is a great tool and glad it works for you. They aren't exactly apples to apples though. For me a big part of the process is the user interface and UX. I have used a lot of CAD packages and still do and while Fusion isn't perfect it is the most user friendly one I have found. Open source software often times has a real limit on the UI/UX (even with Rhino this is very apparent). But aside from that Fusion handles mesh/freeform modeling. simulation, gen design, CAM etc. Compared to the space and intrusion other programs i run like Solidworks and Inventor, Fusion is far from "bloatware". Free/open source community supported software is great but its tricky to use in a professional sense. I use Solidworks still because some of my clients require it, not because i really enjoy using it anymore :)
