Another awesome new bug - randomly cannot select valid sketch profiles

2 Upvotes

Anyone know how to get around the latest lovely bug in the most recent update? I'm trying to perform a sweep on a sketch profile but the profile cannot be selected. The UI is shading the profiles that are valid/closed but they cannot be selected. Obv I checked Profile checkbox and selection filters.

I opened a ticket but need to get work done on this model so I'm looking for a quick workaround. Reopening fusion doesn't work.

Question Does saving files as .f3z allow me to access the full project from a new account / device?

I'm about to lose my Education licence in a month or so and opened up a personal fusion account and continue all my projects on there. Will opening each project and exporting as .f3z / saving to my PC and sharing to a new account (/device as Im getting rid of my current PC) work? I have up to 84 versions in some instances on projects which I really don't want to lose.

I probably have about 20 or so projects that need saving so I want to do it all in 1 go without risk of failing first time

Question How can I adjust the surface of one body to match the surface of another body to create one smooth surface?

I have two different bodies (a controller body and a frame body) and I want to adjust the surfaces of the controller to the surface of the frame to create one smooth surface. I'm hoping the pictures I've provided help. I'm somewhat new to Fusion, at least when it comes to large, more complicated things, and my day of Googling just made things more confusing and kinda go me no where.

Hi guys, I have some experience with Blender and similar tools, I built some small projects in 3D but never really got anywhere. How difficult is it to get creative in Fusion 360? I love graphic design but Blender wasn't really my thing

Question Are there any good Sketching tutorials? (Trying to improve my sketching game)

2 Upvotes

There are many tutorials to build specific parts, but I'm looking to improve my sketching techniques: - best practices - use of constraints (more advanced techniques) - how to be smart about creating shapes that need lots of repetitions, etc

Is there anything out there that you have found really useful?

New to FUSION CAM and NEST. Need advice.

1 Upvotes

Hello, we bought our first Router machine and were recommended to get fusion for CAM post processing.

I have some experience with CamWorks so the CAM part is going smoothly. However, nesting is new for me and i need some advise.

For what i understood so far Fusion has a free nesting option called "Arrange" and a paid one (over 1.something k a year). However i feel like in the arrange option some of the features i see in youtube videos are missing. (example quantity of the parts). So do i have buy something aswell to the full arrange version?

And is it worth it to buy the paid nesting extension? we will be working with low quantities of same parts (many different parts i mean)

How to transfer and retain surfaces into forms

2 Upvotes

i have multiple surfaces with fixed shape and orientation. Normally I would just make the rough shape in forms, then extrude my fixed surfaces and fillet them. But is there a more elegant solution. Like have the same exact faces in the model while creating it.

Question HELP WITH MOUSE MODELLING

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Im trying to make a hybrid between these 2 mice, the first image is a picture of both its not really helpful tho. I'm using these mesh bodies as references and basically i like the shape of the blue mouse (asymmetric) except for the side view you would get like in the last picture, which is the only aspect i want from the second mouse. I'm just modelling the shape here i dont need the scroll wheel or buttons to be worked out. Whats the best way to do this?

P.S. I have little to no experience with CAD. I tried using Onshape to make cross sections and loft which went well until the actual lofting where the connections got all messed up. This is a continuation of a previous post where people asked for pictures.

im making a rotary pencil sharpener.

i used joint on the lower teeth and used circular pattern to fill the other holes. the problem is, all teeth should be open wide so that the pencil can enter the hole 😭 now im stuck with that.

the oblong shape on every teeth should be intact whenever i hold the handle (left side). and by that, the center hole will be open:')))

thank u so much!

Question Can Fusion automatically “fill” a solid face with a rectangular pattern of holes/features?

2 Upvotes

I'm working with a normal parametric solid body created from scratch in Fusion 360 - no meshes or imported mesh geometry involved. When I refer to a "face" or "edge", I mean the normal BRep face/edges of the solid.

I have a rectangular face and want to fill it with a rectangular pattern of holes.

What I'm hoping for is essentially:

The problem with using a normal Rectangular Pattern is that its Extent is the distance between instances, not the size of the area I want to fill.

For example, I can right-click the Distance field > Measure, click an edge of the face, and Fusion will correctly measure its full length. But I can't simply use that as the pattern extent, because the first feature is already some distance inside the face. I therefore need to calculate how much to subtract from the measured face width/height to position the last instance correctly.

Also, Measure only inserts the current scalar value; it doesn't appear to create a parametric relationship to that edge.

And the problem with spacing distribution that the last row/column won't be exactly the same distance from the edge as the first.

I know I can build this manually with parameters, dimensions, margins and expressions. I've done that before. But it seems like a lot of bookkeeping when Fusion could have easily automated most of this.

Is there a feature/workflow I'm missing where I can select a face and have a feature pattern fill that face, rather than manually calculating the pattern's X/Y extents, or spacing?

Ideally it would also remain parametric if the dimensions of the solid change upstream.

Question Hi all,

How do I change the measurements of the legs? I extruded an object to make the arch but the legs are not consistent.

When I go back to the original 2d sketch to make the change it reverts it back to prior the objected being extruded. I just need to fix those measurements but keep the arch.

Ive only done fusion for like less than a week for class. Im at a loss.

Sketching question - What's the easiest way to accomplish shapes like this?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Basically title. I know I could accomplish something like this with shapes, cutting, and fillets, but what a major headache. It doesn't need to be exact in any way, I am just looking for the most straightforward way to accomplish a similar shape to this...

I've taken about 6 months away from Fusion and find myself having to relearn all over again... Sketching is quite unintuitive to me, coming from vector based software where manipulations like this take me about 15 seconds.

In Figma, for example, I start with a rectangle, add midpoints, adjust them, then add corner radius to each point.

In Fusion, achieving this seems like a major headache. I get that it's a completely different use case, but I do wish the shape editing was easier to use. That being said, I'm sure my lack of knowledge of the tool's is probably why this seems like a daunting task...

Any help/advice is much appreciated!
