Opening multiple files

jcbyrd24 — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 23:45:07 GMT

Does anyone else find it frustrating that you cannot select multiple files to open in the same time, even within the same project? I often need to open the model and a drawing or two at the same time at the beginning of a session. It would seem easy to allow a traditional shift or control command to select multiple files to open.

Similarly, Fusion doesn't seem to remember which project I was last working in. It'll change once in a while (or catch up) but many times I have to also select the correct project instead of one I was working on a couple of weeks ago.

You can open multiple files at once from the Data Panel. In the video I show this. Plus, you can open the model from a 2D Drawing if that helps also. I am on a Fusion 360 Subscription License if that makes a difference

Thanks I should have tried that first!

I do this by opening two instances of Fusion at the same time. Just go to Windows Explorer and double click the second file I want side by side, and now I have both file open next to each other for comparison!
