Fusion 360 Parametric Design and History 2

Question 1

What does the 'Edit Feature' option in the Fusion 360 timeline allow you to do?

Accepted Answer

Reopen a feature's dialog to change its original input parameters

Answer

Edit Feature reopens the creation dialog for that feature — for example, letting you change the extrusion distance or direction after the fact.

Question 2

In Fusion 360, what is 'design intent' in the context of parametric sketching?

Accepted Answer

The planned behavior of a sketch when dimensions are changed — captured through appropriate constraints

Answer

Design intent is the planned geometric behavior encoded through constraints so that when parameters change, the sketch updates in the desired way.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a 'construction line' in a Fusion 360 sketch?

Accepted Answer

To create geometry used for construction references only — it does not become part of the profile used for features

Answer

Construction lines are dashed reference lines used to define symmetry axes, centers, or guides without contributing to the closed profile of the sketch.

Question 4

In Fusion 360, what does 'suppressing' a feature in the timeline do?

Accepted Answer

Temporarily disables the feature so it is excluded from the model but remains editable

Answer

Suppressing a feature hides its effect on the model without deleting it, allowing you to test designs with or without that feature.

Question 5

What Fusion 360 feature allows you to link parameters between two separate files?

Accepted Answer

Linked parameter via Manage > Parameters and the External option

Answer

Fusion 360 allows parameters to be linked to an external spreadsheet or another Fusion file via the Manage Parameters dialog, enabling centralized control of design families.
