Addon recommendation

0 Upvotes

A set of five or six stickers.

Simple graphical ones that can be scaled. And placed anywhere.

Never effecting the file other than for visual reference.

I realize this can be accomplished other ways.

But I think a dedicated add-on where it was just set and ready on a hot key would be tits.

I could try and give coffee it, but it would suck.

Can I make a file read-only from the web portal?

2 Upvotes

The only way I know to make a file read-only is to open another file, open the data panel, and select from there. Which is... okay. But is there a way to do it from the web portal? The Autodesk help section says I can, but the screenshot looks different and I think is from an older version. (I'm on the free license, so I have to do a lot of management to stay under the 10 open file limit.)

Question Why is the eye next to my sketch grayed-out?

1 Upvotes

I have a sketch in the browser - the eye next to the sketch is grayed-out and I can't see the stuff that's in the sketch when I'm not editing that sketch. Clicking on the eye transitions between grayed-out and an eye with a line through it. I created the sketch on the surface of a body and added text to that sketch. Why is the sketch invisible and the eye next to the sketch grayed-out?

Chaining PSA following Fusions recent update

3 Upvotes

When selecting an Open Chain in an operations geometry tab, you can no longer choose a complete chain. Create the open chain, then once the geometry is selected, click closed chain and it will close the last length of geometry that you otherwise can no longer select in the Open Chain option.

Hope that’s clear as mud. Stupid quirk.

Question Anyone connected a local LLM (like with Ollama) to Fusion MCP?

0 Upvotes

Hi.

I installed a local LLM on my Laptop with an eGPU that runs fine in general to avoid the costs for coding support in VS Code for my ESP32 projects.

I tried not to connect the Fusions MCP to a local model but did not get it running. It recognize the tools but I cannot get it working to create objects. Any tips? Tried Ollama 3.2 and Mistral.7b. Perhaps the models are too small?

Cheers,

Nils

I have tried Loft but it will not let me.

The bottom body of these two has a larger outer width and a narrower inner width than the top body.

Cannot combine body converted from mesh

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I'm working to create a mold of a 1955 Corvette custom rear fender for a buddy. This is from a racecar that saw some 'action' at Watkins Glen a few weeks back.

I scanned the opposite side fender, mirrored, scaled, etc, then used forms to create the desired match with the scanned mesh body.

I'm left with a clean-looking fender face, but it's basically an empty shell. When I go to do a combine/intersect with a solid rectangular prism to create an 'inverse' it'll let me pick the rectangular prism as the target, but I cannot select the fender as the cutting tool.

My end goal is to create an inverse mold I can drop into my 3D slicer, chop into pieces, print, assemble and then use for a fiberglass mold.

I'm struggling bouncing around between Fusion, MeshLab and Blender (latter two I have 0% experience with), so I'm kind of bogged down.

Can anyone point me in a sane direction for untangling this? I'd appreciate any guidance anyone can lend. Thanks!

I am working on a fusion add on that you can hook up an hdmi touchscreen and have all the shortcuts right next to me. It has a track pad to move around. Many themes. Animated icons. Is anyone interested? I got the idea from using a stream deck and wanted something better.

Question Custom Shaped Spline for Fillet

I have created this 3d model of an unlevel edge climbing trainer. Since I have to print it laying on either front or back face the fillet shown in 3 and for for each step (7mm) are an over 45degree angle and really bad for print quality.
Are my only options to decrease the fillet radius (worse feel for fingers) or a support structure (worse surface without sanding)?

Help appreciated, thanks <3

Question Correct workflow for versioning

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I thought myself how to use Fusion360, and I would say by now I am some sort of intermediate user (no expert, but also no beginner). I work already by using paramters and edit features on the timeline and building around those constraints so that this features work if I am creating something more complicated.

Currently I am however asking myself how to proceed if I have different versions of a design. For example I am currently working on an enclosure, and in the first iteration I used a board for which i designed the clippers to hold it in place. Now I swapped the board, and in the second iteration I want to keep all other features but just remove the old clippers and design the new ones. I dont know how to remove that part of the design without subtracting a plane on to it so its flat again, and then draw the new clippers. To keep the old design I duplicate the body and call it V2_bodyXY. That seems like I am doing probably something not as the software intents to.

Do you have any tipps on how to create parts of the design that I can later remove or swap in different versions? I was thinking about creating those parts as own components, but two problems that I have then is that I cant use the component as a sketching reference for other bodies. And in the end I always have to merge everything to export it as one mesh.

I am also happy to read into blogs or other resources that teach that kind of workflow if you guys can recommend anything.

Thanks for the answers!

Question How are stores selling 3-year Fusion 360 licenses for under $10?

46 Upvotes

I’m currently using Fusion’s Personal license since 2018 and really enjoying it, but I wish I had access to simulation, AutoConstrain, and more than 10 editable documents convert to mesh with mote options etc
They are not really important to me but with this price i think its worth

I noticed several local online stores selling 3-year Fusion licenses for less than $10 all they need is your email

How is that even possible? Are these legitimate licenses, educational , commercial , or something else? Has anyone tried one?

Question Newbie from AutoCAD

5 Upvotes

I'm wondering if Fusion360 is the right fit for me.

I've got about 15 years of experience using autoCAD, but in a civil 2D environment. I've recently changed careers to the automotive space and I would like to harness my previous experience to learn a modelling software I can use to create plastic printed products for work (eg enclosures for displays, customised switch panels for specific dashboards, etc.

I assumed the easiest place to start would be fusion360, so I downloaded it and had a bit of a play. I'm struggling a bit, specifically with the sketches. I'm used to being able to use AutoCAD snaps to move lines (etc.), but fusion seems to be a different way of working.

I'm keen to keep training fusion as it's pretty widely accepted as the best, but is there another program that I might find a bit more familiar? At this point I'm thinking I could just draw my sketches in AutoCAD and import them as DXFs, and then extrude them as needed.

Appreciate any feedback/advice!
