Fusion 360 - Multiple Designs one Drawing

wesley.bonafe — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 13:47:06 GMT

Is it currently possible to place multiple designs in on drawing? I have a curved piece of trakk, Image attached. I need to indicate how the rails would be built if they were straight. I can draw what I want but cant figure out how to display it with the attached curve. If I draw what won't exist (An intermediate step) do I need a completely separate drawing?

By "Drawing" you mean sketch, right? Not inserting a dxf or svg. I also would like my sketches to be more accessible to other projects.

I had suggested a'sketch library' in the Ideastation like 4 months ago but that was shot down..

Just designating a moveable 'handle point' somewhere in the 2D sketch area would make it easy to pull into an existing project and align correctly. I often have designs that can have more than 10 variants and it gets to be a chore with project management to remember where the correct sketches are and if they are contained in the component folder or not.

@wesley.bonafe, if you want to show sketch curves after creating a feature, could click light bubble to show sketch in browser. One sketch could contains multi curves, and we could use it for creating multi features / bodies.

Hi,

You can place multiple designs in one file by creating one component for one design. You can make the component invisible if needed.
