Excellent but broken in 2.7.1
Update: Still broken in version 2.8.9. It’s been broken for 2 years now. Update: Still broken in version 2.8.5. Update: It’s still broken in version 2.8.4. Such a bummer. It’s been broken for over a year. Update: Unfortunately, they didn’t fix it in version 2.7.4 either. Bummer. Update: Unfortunately, they didn’t fix it in version 2.7.2. I’ve been using this for quite a while and it’s always been outstanding. But version 2.7.1 broke the measure tool, which is pretty important in the mobile version. For me, it’s the most important use of the mobile version. No idea how to submit a bug report. I’ve left multiple questions on their community site, but no response. Hoping they fix it in the next version so I can give it a 5 star review!

Novice user
For me, having the novice ability to be able to create a design and then see it come to life on my 3D printer, this software is brilliant. Having no idea about CAD, Solidworks, I found if I didn't have access to the free to use for personal use edition, I probably wouldn't have bought my printer, as Solidworks just seemed too complicated for my tiny pea brain 🙂

Augmented Reality (AR) for Live Model Viewing
One feature that would take Fusion 360 to the next level would be built-in AR capabilities. The ability to place CAD models into real-world environments through augmented reality would be a huge asset. Being able to view models at actual size in their intended environment—such as seeing furniture designs in a room or testing how industrial parts fit into a factory layout—would bridge the gap between virtual designs and real-world applications.
Not only would this provide enhanced visualization and communication with clients, but it would also allow designers to make better, faster decisions by understanding spatial relationships in real-world contexts. Other design platforms have started integrating AR, so adding this to Fusion 360 would keep Autodesk on the cutting edge of technology and provide a more immersive design experience.
I hope Autodesk considers implementing an AR feature, which could even work seamlessly with existing mobile apps. This would make Fusion 360 an even more indispensable tool for designers looking to bring their concepts to life.
