With that said, I don’t think this add-in will be beneficial to everyone… it depends on your workflow and how you’re using Fusion 360.

To be clear, OpenBOM did not sponsor this video…I’m simply a happy customer. This is the perfect add-in for all of you that do woodworking projects…or the mechanical engineers or designers out there that are working on large assemblies.

The Autodesk App store has over 200+ individual add-ins built specifically for Fusion 360. That means sub-assemblies will have to be done individually.įortunately, there’s a better solution that’s available today! Fusion 360 allows 3rd-party developers to create “add-ins” that extend the functionality. Fusion 360 also doesn’t support a multi-level parts list.

Presently, you have to enter dimensions for each component. Parts list or bill of materials (BOMs) with dimensions has long been a missing element of Fusion 360. They also publically released their road map, making it clear that Drawings are going to continue to be improved.

In recent months, the Fusion 360 team has made a lot of significant updates to the Drawing workspace. The (2D) Drawing workspace has always been lacking when compared to the others. Some consider it to be the “jack of all trades,” given the flexibility to go from 3D designs to setting up CAM tool paths. Fusion 360 is a popular CAD program among woodworking hobbyists and professionals.
