Getting fed up with the updates that mess everything that I have already done up. The most recent update 2704.1.36 has taken everything that I entered years ago and taken away the description and part # in the edit part properties. I entered them several times to find out that they didn't take. I have had several issues with the last few updates. So I am now looking for a new program to use at work. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thx

I tried to ask this in google and AI and I just couldn't get the wording right to find the answer(s) I am looking for. Just getting into 3d printing and looking into diving into fusion360 over using blender but I have a question. I have some very basic blender experience and I have used it for the last couple weeks to modify free stl files I have found online. Curious if Fusion360 has a simple way to do what I am looking at here. I am getting comfy with what I know to think I could really start working on designing things that would be used in my life. My only gripe with blender is, measuring and setting up connections between objects. From my experience in blender. Yes when you first create a cylinder, or a bevel, or loop cut. Whatever. You can adjust the sizing of everything involved right then and there. But if I want to go back and adjust the sizing of a hole between 2 objects that will be used for nuts/bolts to connect pieces. Going back and adjusting them all seems to be very tedious. Does Fusion360 have a easier/quicker/more intuitive way at creating/applying what would be those holes/recesses for screws/bolts/nuts would be. And if after I have gone through and made the entire thing and want to adjust every single screw hole that was supposed to fit this specific 3mx4 bolt to another size or type, how difficult could that be? Would I have to go and change every thing individually? Thank you.

Let me know if you have any questions that would help you answer better, thanks in advance.

I have been having some problems with Fusion recently. It all started when I had to install a new SSD since my computer was getting slow.

After the SSD update, I donwloaded Fusion and logged in. I opened a couple files I had been working on, until I got one that wouldnt open. I got an error saying it couldnt be downloaded. So I closed Fusion, opened it again, and that file worked just fine.

A couple days later I got the same error on another file, one that I really needed. So after closing and opening Fusion several times to no avail, I decided to remove the program and install again. I had some problems installing it, until I was finally able to do it. And this time the file opened fine, but the program was really slow, it was consuming my entire memory. So I exported as stp the parts I needed, and finished the drawings.

But while doing so, I noticed something weird. When I make a sketch on a surface, it wont recognize the features that are already on the surface. So I can not make concentric circle on one that was previously done. Or offset the perimeter. Basically its a new sketch even though it was done on a surface.

What could it be?

How would i model the domed bit in the middle of this metal part? anybody know what tool or process is best?

I don't care about these projects anymore I want them gone. It's annoying me. Its taking up half of my editable documents. Please help.

Hello! I am trying to create a Gerber file for a conductive ink 3d printer. My plan is to take my design in fusion, export as a gerber file, then upload it to KiCAD to make the Gerber PCB file.

The main problem I am running into is that I can not figure out how to download the design (pictured) as a "colored in" or filled DXF, as opposed to just an outline. Does anyone have any advice here?

Hey guys! I'm a mechanical design engineer at a research center in France, and I've been doing CAD for quite a long time now — I just love designing all kinds of parts.

This year I decided to start sharing some of the knowledge I've picked up over the years with fellow CAD lovers. Here's my first tutorial: modeling a custom keycap in Fusion 360, If you're a beginner or intermediate user, give it a try!

I'd love to hear your feedback once you've gone through it 🤙

I made this project in onshape but used fusion 360 for rendering.

Greetings, community. By popular demand, I want to share a technique for creating a carved sword pommel. While it might not seem obvious to do this in CAD, I really love Fusion 360 and often work in it just for fun, not out of strict necessity. I enjoy challenges and love overcoming them.

A couple of months ago, I went from using Fusion360 on a personal use license to a subscription, and I bought a full year of the base plan for Fusion360. I did this mainly because there were some manufacturing features locked behind the subscription, mainly creating NC programs that had multiple tools per setup, and really nice tools like deburr, which let me deburr a lot of edges that were out of plane using a ball end mill.

I just finished updating to the latest version, and I come to find out that now that very deburr feature that I had started to make extensive use of is now locked behind the manufacturing extension, which costs an extra $1099 per year.

I can still post setups that have multiple tools, but the deburr tool was a big game changer for a lot of my parts and I feel like I got kind of scammed. I paid for a full year subscription, and then lost one of the main features I bought it for after less than 2 months. I can still post NC programs for parts that already had this operation, but I can't edit the toolpath or put it on any new parts. Is this really the way it has to be now?

I'm creating an object that will contain fully enclosed pockets for magnets. I'm going to 3D print it and pause midway through the print in order to insert glue and a magnet in each pocket.

So on one face I created a sketch and then did a cut extrusion with offset. You can see it on the left of the image.

I then used a circular pattern to replicate the cut extrusion feature 4 times (original + 3) around an vertical axis. But as you can see from the image, the replications ended up as bodies within the body. And in fact, you can see Body18, Body19, and Body20 in the Bodies hierarchy, which are the 3 replications.

What have I done wrong?

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie in CAD. I want to create a curved surface similar to the shell of this keyboard. I found its Fusion file, but I'm currently unsure how to construct surfaces with different thicknesses. After watching several videos online, I still haven't figured it out. Is there any brother who can help me? Thank you very much!

I am trying to model a small speaker box, and play around with tuned ports. The length of the port is very specific. For example current calculation requires a box volume of 9.5L and a round port of 47mm X 573mm. The first two parts are easy enough for me to draw. But when it comes to marking 573mm along a path I have to manually work out which segment falls within my target, then create a line of 73mm and cut off the tail. OR I can sweep a know length. Work out my target expressed as a % and sweep that length. both ways are annoying. Is there a better method?

NOTE: picture below is for reference, I know the total length is not 573mm.

Long story short, I am trying to make a simple clamp for the frame tube of my Scooter. The front face of the tube is flat, no problem there; however the rear side has an ever so slight slope away about halfway down (more details in pics).

So my question is, how can I slope/bevel a single face of a part, which is a curve, but only partway down and for a specific section (middle) of said face.

Brief research trying to describe what I want has me looking at Sweeps following a path with a guardrail and/or splitting faces in the curve first?

Attached is a picture of my design as well as the piece I am trying to clamp around so that you can get an idea of the direction of travel I'm referring to.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

After several days of testing, I managed to get Autodesk Fusion 360 working on Linux using GE-Proton.

I created an automated installer that handles:

- Proton prefix creation

- URI handler registration

- Autodesk Identity Manager setup

- Launch script generation

Tested on:

- CachyOS

- KDE Plasma 6

- Wayland

- Intel Iris Xe + RTX 4050

- GE-Proton 11.1

GitHub:

https://github.com/Kotya31415/Fusion180

I'd really appreciate feedback from people with different hardware and distributions.

Please let me know:

- Distribution

- Desktop Environment

- GPU

- Proton version

- Whether it worked or failed

- Any logs if something breaks

Hopefully we can improve compatibility together.

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to get some workflow advice or pointed toward some good tutorials.

I’m trying to model a replacement stock for my Glenfield Model 60. I’m a creative guy and I like making my gear my own. My ultimate goal is to design a custom stock, but my "Step 1" is just seeing if I can even replicate the organic look and feel of the original wooden stock as a practice exercise.

(Note: I know the photos with the rulers aren't perfectly accurate due to camera lens distortion, but this is just for practice to get the workflow down).

My Skill Level: I’m entirely self-taught via YouTube. I’ve 3D printed about 90% of the things I design, including my fair share of angled grips, braces, adapters, and chassis parts. I’m very comfortable with mechanical designs—extruding blocks, making holes, filleting, and the occasional loft.

The Problem: This stock is the biggest CAD challenge I’ve taken on, and I am way out of my league when it comes to organic shapes.

As you can see in the attached pictures, I’ve modeled the basic side-view and top-view cutouts. (I still need to cut the receiver and trigger guard areas, but I know how to do that—that's the least of my worries right now).

My issue is that I can't make the stock look rounded and organic. I tried using the Fillet tool to round over the harsh edges of my cutouts, but because of the angles and sharp turns, Fusion won't let me fillet past 1mm before the geometry breaks.

What I need help with: How do you actually approach a shape like this? Is trying to fillet a blocky extrusion the completely wrong workflow? Should I be using the Forms/T-Splines workspace, Surface modeling, or a bunch of complex lofts?

I am an automotive guy and plan on getting a 3D scanner eventually for custom performance mods. But I know that even if I scan this stock, it just gives me a 3D mesh—it doesn't actually teach me how to model the organic CAD surfaces over it.

If anyone can offer some guidance on the right workflow, or link a video of someone modeling something similar with organic curves, I’d massively appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Im building this model of a shed, I started my assembly by just pulling components in one by one, I never built sub assembly's until I did the framed wall. Is there a was I can squeeze all these components into sub assembly's now that they are part of this model? I'm looking to make the 2x6 floor framing its own, then the legs there own and the sheeting its own. Just not sure how to go about that. Thanks for any help

how would you do this gradual depth change along the surface of a mask?

I have the overall contour of the mask already done and I am wondering if 3D sketching and then using this as a loft guide rail would be doable. Please share your techniques or guides for this kind of mesh modeling. I have watched learn everything about design in youtube however i got stuck in this part.

Hello! I have made this body with ball socket joints and want to see how it moves. Can I do this in fusion or is it better to use another program?
