Fusion 360 free 2019 update#

One of the big changes is the fact that you will no longer see the Sketch dropdown list while youвЂ™re in the Design workspace. This also gives you more room to customize your toolbars. The idea with the contextual tabs is that they take away all of the clutter or features that you wonвЂ™t be using in your current state, which allows for more room of features that you may need.

One of the largest changes with this update is the new addition of contextual tabs. Within the Tools tab, youвЂ™ll find the 3D Print dialog, add-ins, and scripts, as well as your inspect and analysis tools. The Tools tab includes all of the features that donвЂ™t correlate specifically to one type of modeling. The Sheet Metal tab includes all of the sheet metal tools that were formerly in the вЂњSheet Metal WorkspaceвЂќ.

These features used to be located in the вЂњPatch WorkspaceвЂќ. The Surface tab includes all of the surface modeling tools. The Solid tab includes all of the solid (parametric) modeling tools that were formerly in the Model workspace. YouвЂ™ll see there are four tabs within the Design Workspace. The Model Workspace has been renamed the Design Workspace. The new UI includes the addition of tabs within workspaces. Note: You wonвЂ™t see the вЂњGenerative DesignвЂќ Workspace if youвЂ™re on the Education or Startup/Hobbyists license. However, eventually, theyвЂ™ll make working in Fusion 360 much more efficient and intentional. These updates will take a little bit of time to get used to. The new toolbar improves the organization and hierarchy of tools. Notice the eyeball icons on the left (new) replacing the lightbulb icons on the right (old). If the object is turned off then the eyeball icon is light gray and also has a slash through it. The eyeball is dark gray if the object is turned on. Now, with the update, youвЂ™ll see the visibility icons are represented with an eyeball icon. Originally, this was depicted by a lightbulb being yellow if it was visible, while a blue lightbulb meant the object was hidden or вЂњturned offвЂќ.

Previously, the Fusion 360 Browser used a lightbulb icon to show the visibility of objects.

Shades of blue are used more frequently throughout the icons.

Most icons no longer have their solid black border around them.

The icons no longer have a small drop shadow.

The вЂњCreate SketchвЂќ icon now has a green plus symbol and no longer includes a pencil icon.As in, these icons will also be used in Autodesk Inventor and other Autodesk products. This is part of a larger plan to make the icons more unified across all Autodesk products. YouвЂ™ll notice that (almost) all of the icons used throughout Fusion 360 have been updated.
