Parts missing from Design Drawing

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 16:37:25 GMT

Hi all,

This is my first post and I'm sure its been covered somewhere but I lack the knowledge of terminology to find the answer. I've been playing with Fusion 360 for a week or so and just created my first drawing from a design. And that's where the problem lies, the main part of the design has come into the drawing without issue, but all the little imported joinery components are missing.

How can I get them into the drawing??

Your help would be greatly appreciated. The three attached screen shots are of the design showing the ironmongery and the related drawing with them missing. Shout if you need any more information

Thanks Paul

What format where the imported parts in. If they were meshes they will not showin the drawing.

Hi pkas9469,

I'm assuming you created the drawing using New Drawing from Design keeping the "Full Assembly" checkbox checked. As Mark mentioned, certain objects are not currently supported for drawings. If your design contains any of these objects there should be a Create Drawing message that appears that says "Mesh, T-Spline and surface bodies will not be included in the drawing."

I see the attached drawing view is a section view, if you turn on hidden lines in the base view it was created from do you you see these components there? If you select one of these objects in the browser (in the design) and right-click > Create Drawing can you create the drawing?

Thanks,
Chris
