Drawing : Isometric view broken ?

Hello all,

I'm experiencing a strange problem, that might (?) related to the recent update of Fusion 360 : when creating a drawing based on a design, I find that I can't create an isometric Base view of my design anymore.

When I click the Base view icon, I get the usual Drawing view dialog box and can select the various options normally. However, if I choose any of the isometric orientation, the temporary view that is hovering over the drawing sheet is replaced with a small square, and if I click OK, I get an empty red rectangle rather than the expected rendering of the design. Normalized orientations work OK.

When documenting a design that includes a few parts, I like to place a general view of the complete assembly in a corner of each part's detailed drawing. I add a leader comment to show where the part goes into the assembled system. I've found that an isometric view works quite well for this purpose, unfortunately, this seems to be broken for now. Any suggestion ?

Your help is appreciated,

EDIT : I just tried again before posting this message : things have changed, I now get a truncated view of the design, always in the same isometric orientation irrespective of the isometric orientation selected in the dialog... ???

Hi Laurent,

sorry to see that you're having trouble with Fusion drawing after the update.

What is your system configuration? Any other updates in your system (graphics driver, OS) other than Fusion?

Can you please do the following to help troubleshooting this issue?

Run Fusion Graphics Diagnostic tool (see image below) and send a snapshot of the result

Thanks

Hi Lucia,

Thank you for your reply. Please find attached the snapshot you asked. I'm running F360 on a Windows 7 pro 64 bits, Asus PC with Intel Core i5, 4gb ram, NVidia GeForce 610M, not a real powerhorse, but this is the best I can do at the moment.

However, I now think that you must possess some magical powers : I wanted to join to this message a snapshot of the broken isometric I had yesterday and this morning, so I reopened the very drawing, and... it is now working

I haven't changed anything on my side since yesterday... Mysteries do exist !

Hi Laurent,
glad it is working now.

Now, if it were so easy to solve all the issues...
