We have already seen about 4 posts regarding problems with the installation of the latest update. Most of the reports have been on a Mac where the pattern seems to be that it crashes on launch after the update. We test heavily on Mac OS X as well as Windows and had a number of folks go through this experience to make sure it works well before we pushed live. Obviously there is a condition that is triggering this that we need to understand. We are actively investigating this and following up to understand the problem. While we don't have a solution currently, rest assured that we will do all that we can to get to the bottom of it and address it as soon as possible. We will post an update on this issue as soon as we understand the cause and can come up with a fix for it. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and impact to your productivity.
best regards,
Sanjay Jayabal.
Sanjay - What update? The app crashes on startup before any chance of updating. The installer downloaded from the web site has a date from May 23rd.
Where is the update for this?
Thanks.
Hi Nathaniel,
It seems that all your crashes happened on the Quadro 570M graphics card. Can you please help switch to DirectX 9 to see if that is a driver specific problem? You can do that by:
1. Once you launch Fusion, don't open any document
2. Go to preference -> General -> Graphics driver
3. Switch from DirectX11 to DirectX 9
4. Close Fusion and then restart
Please let us know if it makes any difference
Thanks

SOLUTION - I found a solution to getting back up and running.
Steps:
1. Uninstall Fusion 360
2. Clear the browser cache of all data. In my case it's Chrome.
3. Install Fusion 360
This enabled me to install and begin running the app once again.
Hi Hanskellner,
Great to hear that you are up and running now. Thank you for also sharing the solution that worked for you. General cleanup in terms of clearing caches, reinstalling the software are typically first steps that we explore, but in this case of Mac OS X 10.7.5, we actually found that it didn't help. So, it is a bit of a mystery still that the process you outlined below now allows you to run Fusion 360 on your Mac OS X 10.7.5 and does not crash on startup.
We plan to post an updated build later today where we have a code fix for the problem.
best regards,
Sanjay Jayabal.
We just released an update that should address the crash on startup on Mac OS X 10.7.5. If you are on a version previous to 10.7.5, we strongly recommend that you update it to at least 10.7.5. Please do let us know if this update fixes your problem and our apologies for having introduced the problem in the first place.
Best regards,
Sanjay Jayabal.

Sorry about the confusion between what Fusion is showing and what you see at 360.autodesk.com. Hopefully I can help answer some of your questions and provide you with an alternate solution.
1) Are these really separate cloud libraries or is something set up wrong.
-Fusion 360 and 360.autodesk.com have different databases for data storage and as such the data you have in one will not be replicated within the other. We are aware that this has caused some confusion with customers and are actively looking at ways to help communicate this difference.
2) Will there be an embed function becoming available from the fusion 360 library-What I believe you are actually looking for can be found at myhub.autodesk360.com. When I read your email it sounds like you are looking to have similar functionality that 360.autodesk.com has, but with your Fusion data. This will have that data, and will also have a similar feeling to the Fusion that you see from your install.
3) Is there any way to make 360.autodesk link to fusion in a natural way - you have the 'share to grabcad' capability but no obvious 'share to 360.autodesk'.-Right now we do not have a way to accomplish this in a natural way. I believe you have found a current workaround, but with my answer to number 2 do you still feel like you need to transfer your data to 360.autodesk.com? I would be interested in hearing if this solves your issue and if there is anything that 360.autodesk.com was providing to you that you are unable to do from myhub.autodesk360.com.
Please let me know if this helps or if you have any additional questions,
Joel,
There is no embed capability as far as I can see in myhub.autodesk360.com. I wish to embed a small rotatable model in my website for marketing purposes. As explained 360.autodesk.com provides such a feature but the hub associated with fusion 360 (assuming that is what myhub.autodesk.com is) does not.
You have implied that there is an embed capability in myhub.autodesk360 but I cannot find any so please can you confirm that my observation is correct and let me know if 1) there are any plans to add this to myhub.autodesk360.com or 2) any plans to allow simple export of F3d files to 360.autodesk.com.
regards

How can we install this update - I just tried rerunning the application and it does not appear to update itself (CER_96509219)
Steve
The new update has been installed and works, up to a point. The viewcube is very unresponsive, and if I hide the browser or toolbar it is not possible to show them again from the top menu bar.
Steve
Hi Steve,
My apologies I must have misread your original message when you were looking for embedded capabiltiies to put into your website. Right now we don't have this capability, but if it is alright with you I would like to email you directly and gather from you what exactly your trying to do. I believe I have a good understanding from this conversation now, but I want to make certain I have it correct so that we can look at what is involved in adding this capability for Fusion.
Thanks,
I am still having a great deal of issues with this release.
My previous machine is still having issues and I am waiting to hear back on that CER. On to the next machine! Fusion 360 doesn't show anything in the viewport. The model is there, you can select the T Splines and faces but it's completely invisible. It doesn't crash, in fact it appears to be quite stable but I can't see what I'm doing. So in an effort to do my due diligence, I updated my video card driver (nvidia geforce something or other), got a new monitor hooked up and changed my driver for ActiveX from 11 to 9. I'm still experienceing the same thing.
Anyone have any ideas? It was working on this machine prior to the new release.
Hi Nathaniel,
On the machine where you are cannot see the model, but it appears to be working, can you switch to wireframe mode and tell me if you see the model? If so, under Preferences, can you go to Material and see if any of the fields there is empty?
best regards,
Sanjay Jayabal.
Hi Nathaniel,
We have looked into your CER reports. All of your CER reports happened on the graphics card nVidida Quadro 570M, which is a very old graphics card. We suspect that this might be graphics card related. Please note that Fusion May release places a higher demand on the graphics card capability to support some fundamental graphics features/behaviors.
To verify if this is a graphics card issue, can you please try the following steps?
1. When you launches Fusion, don't open any document(i.e., stay in the dashboard environment)
2. Bring out the text command window(through view->show text command window menu)
3. In the text command window, input the following text commands(make sure to switch from Py radio box to Txt on the right of the text command window😞
4. Restart Fusion.
This will get Fusion to run with software driver instead of on the graphics card driver. In this mode, the performance will be much slower but if Fusion can work, then that means the crash on your machine is related to the graphics card driver.
Looking forware to your feedbacks.
Thanks
