Greetings,
i understand that some features are not yet available in history mode for different reasons.
I can't really understand this when we talk about copying a component. I can copy and paste one so the copy is dependent on the original one but i can't just copy and "paste new" to have an independent copy? This sounds weird and totally breaks my workflow.
What is the best way to ship around this and have an independet copy of an object?
Thanks for helping!
I'm totally with you! The beta versions of fusion seemed a lot better, then I payed yearly subricption, upodates came and it's like a different software now (went downhill). Not beying able to mirror or copy independed component is absolutely stupid and counterproductive.
Also for workflow it would be nice to be able to shuffle around the components in the list like in the beta! Don't even start me on the bodies that total nightmare.
Also would like to se ability to select few components and save them as step or stl.
Hi Helmi74
Thank you for the history trick. How ever with the design history on I'm not able to shuffle componenets around (also once I turn it off and then turn back on it crashes the software).
Yes Helmi74, I cant position components in the tree the way I would like in the History momde ON. When it's off (thank for that 🙂 ) I can easly organise. I need that since I make multiple versions of one component in one design and then just turn them on and off.
Hi Frank, I had already asked this question at the forum and one answer said "We are already tracking the issues." Another answer said "Unfortunately this feature will not be added in the next update." Well just forget about all these confusion. I had found the following work flow to copy components new (independantly) without leaving the parametric mode. (Scaling components I still have no fix, need to stop recording for that). First when copying a body to a new body it will be copied as an independent new body at the parametric mode. So to do that, open up all your sub components and then press "Command" (for Mac) or "Control" (for PC) + Left Mouse click to select multiple bodies from the different components and sub components, then select "Copy."
After that perform a "Paste" operation at the root component (that is just my habit) and a new "Body" group will be formed under the root component. These bodies are all independent from the original ones.
In order to do that I think I would arrange two Assemblies/Main Components. One Assembly/Main Component will contain all my original components and subcomponents.
A new Assembly/Main component maybe called (in my example) "Copy Nose Eye Group" then move the new "pasted" body copies into this new Assembly/Main component. Of course I would move them into different sub Components like before.
This had solved my problem until they can add a "Paste New" or "Make Independent" to the Parametric mode.
A screen shot:
To Mirror components that can be done at the 'Create Base Feature " mode, then "Finish Base Feature" The components can be Mirrored this way. Hope it works for you.
