file saving, file importing

BillBJDQX — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 19:45:53 GMT

Just installed fusion 360. When I attempt to save a file, I can not locate the local hard drive. How do I locate the local hard drive? How do I import a parasolid file? Bill

To save a copy to your local hard drive you use File>Export and make sure the box is checked for "Save to my computer'.

I am not trying to create a archive. I just want to save the file on my hard
drive. My internet connection is limited, so I do not want to use the cloud
feature. How do I disable the cloud feature.

How do I import parasolid cad files?

Fusion is cloud based, you can't disable cloud storage. You could work in offline mode and just connect up once a day to let every thing sync up. But if you really can't use the cloud then Fusion's probably not the right choice for you.

To import a parasolid file you have to upload it in the data panel, you need to be in a project folder for the upload icon to appear.

Would working in offline mode help you?
