February 2026

Fusion

build v.2606.1.33 (February 1)

New features and enhancements

Design

When inserting a component into an empty, unsaved Part design, Fusion now provides an additional option to create a new Assembly and insert both the active Part and the inserted component. This gives you more flexibility when deciding how to organize your design.

Bill of materials

With BOM global overrides, you can now hide child components so that they are treated as a consolidated part of their parent in the bill of materials. All quantities and physical properties are combined. (02/05)

Note: This is currently not supported in Fusion Manage. Hidden children will not be discoverable under their parents in Fusion Manage BOMs.

Resolved issues

Usability

Fixed an issue on macOS where Fusion could quit unexpectedly on launch.
Resolved a freeze that could occur when closing Fusion after saving a design.
Improved reliability of crash recovery files, resolving an issue where some recovered designs could fail to open after a crash.

Fusion Manage

New features and enhancements

Two new templates have been added to the Template Library:

Document Management: Create, store, and control product documents in one place. This template helps teams track changes, control access, and collaborate while keeping data safe and compliant.
Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR): Manage corrective actions with your suppliers using the SCAR template. Document issues, request corrective actions, track root causes, and verify fixes to ensure quality and prevent recurrence.

Fusion

build v.2606.1.22 (January 21)

Backwards Compatibility

This version includes changes that are not backward compatible with previous versions. To ensure seamless data sharing and collaboration, please update to the latest build.

New features and enhancements

For a detailed description of new features and enhancements, see the What's New blog.

Usability

Performance improvements across key workflows, including isolate operations, compute all operations, mesh conversions, and opening 3MF files.
Added the Graphics Interactivity Meter for real-time monitoring of frame rate and video memory usage (View > Show Performance Overlay).

Introduced a redesigned Library Attribute Editor for more efficient and flexible library authoring.
Added support for excluding design data from scopes in Custom Design Rules using NOT conditions.
Added a keyboard shortcut for quick 2D PCB layer navigation (CTRL/⌘ + ↑/↓).
Added support for inline document attributes, allowing attributes to be embedded directly within text strings.
Added a Flip Board status indicator in 2D PCB to improve board orientation awareness.
Newly created components now include a default Datasheet attribute, allowing datasheets to be accessed directly from the Place Panel.

Manufacturing

Added automatic thread definition reuse for Turning Thread toolpaths.
Added fallback drilling operations to improve hole machining reliability.
Introduced the Multi-Axis Clearing toolpath strategy.
Enhanced Geodesic and Deburr toolpaths with additional control options.
Added Delete Supports operation for Additive setups.
