Has significantly improved 3D design workflows but support needs more consistency

As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price. Regarding the 360 simulation capability, it's very important for our customers, and it's important for customers to share that information with their suppliers and with customers.

Works

User-friendly interface with helpful Map Keys and Part Family features

The most valuable features are the Map keys and Part Family features. Map keys make the usage very smooth and easy, whereas the Part Family creation is very easy with simple variable definition and table creation for the variant parts. The user interface is very simple and user-friendly when compared to other CAD tools in the market.
