PLUS Features Description

MapBoards Pro PLUS features utilize Fusion’s advanced native arrange capabilities to provide improved material utilization and flexibility when mapping boards for users with either the Personal or Commercial Fusion 360 entitlement Plans.

The PLUS features Arrange with True Shapes and Rearrange Boards are described in the sections below.

Arrange with True Shapes

The new Arrangement Type, Arrange with True Shapes, is available when mapping boards with MapBoards Pro PLUS features enabled. The full compliment of mapping options are available to customize the created board layouts. In addition, the full compliment of post-mapping tasks can be applied to the mapped boards including SVG and DXF exports, report generation, manufacturing models, and the new Rearrange Boards. See Arrange Type.

The image below shows the arrange type options including the Arrange with True Shapes option.

Rearrange Boards

The post-mapping task, Rearrange Boards, is available to modify existing mapped boards created with any of the arrangement type options. This provides the ability to customize the mapped boards by adjusting component spacing, trim on board edges, and component flipping. If changes prevent all existing components from being placed on the boards, the user is notified with the opportunity to adjust the settings to achieve a successful rearrangement.

The image below show the Rearrange post-mapping task being invoked. It list the components currently mapped on the boards with their 2D bounding box dimensions. Each listed component has the option to flip or prioritize component placement order to help achieve part-in-part placements if desired.
