grouping pcb components in fusion

Hello,

I have pcb components in fusion i would like to put them in the actual pcb board component they belong to, for some reason they're all outside of it.Thanks

Hello @32loyal,

I hope you're doing well. What's likely happening is that whoever pushed the PCB to Fusion left all of the components in their off board state which is what happens when a board is first generated from the schematic. Moving them onto the PCB at least this first time will likely be easier in EAGLE then in Fusion 360 where it's a 2 click operation.

Otherwise you you can right click the PCB on the timeline, select Edit PCB and then use the Move components command in the PCB workspace.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Yes the board was pushed with all components off the pcb to fusion,these components are placed based on mechanical dimensions of the enclosure for led indicators.i used the move component in edit pcb and they still didnt group together inside the browser.I left out some details from the original post the pcb was built in fusion to make sure the pcb didnt interfere with some mech. components.the pcb was built inside our mainenclosure fusion file and thats were both the pcb and comps. wouldnt group together.so once done designing the pcb in fusion we broke the fusion link in eagle then created a new design link in eagle so now in fusion just that one pcb was in its own design file instead of in the mainenclosure file.now we had the completed pcb in its own file we just deleted the pcb in the mainenclosure file,then imported the new pcb design file into the mainenclosure design file.hopefully that makes some sense.Thanks
