As a 20 year inventor user….I can barely use fusion. It’s like the design team never used any other CAD packages.
That's been a bit of a connundrum over the years with cigarette outlets & phone charging. Some older cars powered them off with the ignition (I think my 90s Volvo did that) which is a hassle if your really wanted to charge your dead phone in the car while you do something else. Many cig outlets are hot all the time now.
Fusion definitely has its quirks and learning curve! More than a few things in the UI are non-intuitive, and I get really frustrated with the sketch constraints that they auto apply with their "we think we know what you want to do" logic.
The workflow is just different enough from inventor or solidworks even to make me want to throw the computer out the window.
My 2022 MDX's charge mat has an on/off button to address this, apparently very common, request/complaint : )
Super helpful, thank you. I'd rather not fry my key fob when I set it on the mat, and the wireless charging was never reliable. It must've been designed by the same interns that made the trash camp speaker.
