Manage Extension

Lennart_Losjo — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 13:22:01 GMT

Hi. Are there any thoughts about creating a section for Fusion Manage?

There is a lack of information on the workflows.

The online course for Manage Extension have only 4 videos, and none of them is on how to create a new change order and the workflow after that.

Cheers Lennart

Hi @Lennart_Losjo,

Are these the videos you are referring to in your original post? https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/courses/AP-MANAGE-EXT-LIVE-EXAMPLE

The third video walks through the release process in the Fusion context but is there something missing that you are needing some help with? If you have any questions feel free to just use this board and you can ping me with an @ and I should be either able to help or maybe point you to a resource that could help.

Thanks,

Hi.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, i have looked at all four videos.

What I am missing is the opposite workflow.

Make a change order to do a revision of an item.

I have tried the following.

Created a CO.

I Chose the Item I want to change in the affected items.

Put a life cycle in.

Changed the state to WIP.

Opened the file in the item.

Made some changes in the part.

Saved the part.

Sent the item to quick-release.

The preview is wrong and when I open the file again, the changes I made are not there.

I have succeeded sometimes but not others.

Hi @Lennart_Losjo

From your description you are running into a limitation that we don't have a warning for yet. The issue is, if you have a CO open and the part or assembly is in the WIP state you must save with a Milestone in order for those changes to be captured in the CO.

We realize that there is no obvious way for the user to know this and are working on ways to fix this in the future. Hopefully this gets you up and running. If you this doesn't fix the issue let me know.

Thanks, man, @kgilham I will try this workflow.

Another thing with the CO, I cant somehow assign the CO to a specific person in the team?

When the CO is changed to work, I don't see the CO in my outstanding work.

My CO looks like this.

ANd my dashboard.

Hi @Lennart_Losjo,

It could be a couple things. In your first picture it looks like it still needs to be saved. If you have already done that and it's still not showing up, try selecting that small refresh symbol. I've highlighted it in the picture below.

I've sometimes had to wait for a minute to let the back end get caught up with the changes I just made but if it takes longer than it may be something else.

Thanks,
