At this point it's a pipe dream and what Autodesk has shown so far is more like confusion rather than any kind fusion. Suggest you try it. I bet it takes you less than an hour to realize how broken the Change Mangler part really is.

In your tests what happens when you do this?

What kind of tests did you do to determine that Inventor Fusion 1 was a "powerful direct modeler"? That’s news to me and I’ve tested it extensively. What kind of tests did you do to determine that Inventor Fusion 1 was a “powerful direct modeler”?

I think you are missing the point. Inventor Fusion is already a powerful direct modeler.

SpaceClaim, Solid Edge with ST2 and KeyCreator have the right idea. History based modeling is a dead end.

It's all majik under hood" approach.
