where is the tools button in dashboard?

Ver: 2.0.1145

 

I want to export my model to Dwg,

 

I've searched the forum and found a post said there is a "tools"button on the model's details page,

 

I just could not find it? 

 

anybody have idea?  thanks very much!

Hi oimken,

 

look to the attached image, there you will find the button.

Hi Ken,

 

Thanks for posting this, and welcome to the forums!

 

It's possible that this document isn't recognised as a Fusion design. For Fusion designs, the Item Detail buttons should look something like this:

For other documents that are not recognised as Fusion designs, I'm afraid you can't currently directly export these to other CAD formats.

 

Was this a model created in Fusion 360? Or is this a model imported to the dashboard?

 

If importing CAD data to the dashboard, it best to use this option (highlighted in orange):

This should result in the model being recognised as a Fusion design, and should allow you to export this to DWG & other formats from the Tools menu.

 

If this doesn't help, let us know and we'll look into this further.

 

Many thanks!
Jake

Hi Ken,

 

It looks as though this might be a problem with the dashboard functionality only loading partially (in the image you attached, there should be a 'Choose File' button above the 'Share With' field).

 

Would it be possible to refresh the dashboard, wait for a period of time, and then try clicking Import CAD Data again? If this doesn't work, it might be worth closing Fusion 360, reopening, waiting for some time, and then try again. Hopefully the button to select the file for upload should appear. If not, let us know!

 

And sorry for the inconvenience of this: this is a problem and we're working on improving the dashboard so that there's no need to re-upload the file in this situation.

 

Many thanks,

Jake

Great, glad to hear that worked! And sorry it was so much trouble. This has definitely highlighted a potential partial loading problem. As I mentioned, we're working on dashboard improvements at the moment, and hopefully this is something we might be able to address in future.

 

Many thanks!
