Switch a design to Parametric Modeling mode

Learn how to switch from Direct Modeling mode to Parametric Modeling mode to capture design history in the parametric Timeline in a design in Fusion.

1. In the Browser, right-click the default component.
2. Select Capture Design History .

The Timeline is added to the design. The geometry you created in Direct Modeling mode is captured as a single Base Feature in the Timeline. As you create and modify geometry in Parametric Modeling mode, new features are added to the Timeline as design history.

Tips

• In the Timeline, right-click the Base Feature and select Edit, if you want to edit the geometry you created in Direct Modeling mode without tracking the changes parametrically.
