Move a Fusion 360 Distributed Design ( 3D Parents and Children ) Across Projects

[schneik-adsk]

Here is a detailed description on how to move distributed designs.

Start Fusion and in the data panel find the item you want to export.

Click the i next to this item and in the area that expands click the link to Open details in A360.

Once the web page loads click the Toolbox icon and select export. It will default to F3Z. I like to put in the comments a short explanation of what i'm doing.

After a few moments you can close the details by click the, X.

A blue button will appear saying 1 New Post.  If you refresh you can see the activity feed will have an event where you can Download the results of the cloud translation. The download will be an F3Z file.  Save it to your desktop or another convenient place.

Return to Fusion and in the side data pane navigate to the new project where you want to put the copy ( it must be a new project ).

Click Upload and select the F3Z file you downloaded.

You will not that after a few moments the upload dialog will list all the distributed files and will recreate the items and relationships in the new project.

Finished!

Thanks. I'd though along the same lines!

That's a fine work around for now, but could be so much more efficient if F360 just let you move/copy all required files between projects.
