Eagle boards dont show up correctly.

I have created a PCB in Eagle. I then push it to Fusion. I then bring it in as a derived item. Well the displayed board doesn't look at all like the board that shows in the fusion document. Also all the parts on that board are now floating loose items so moving that board as a component is impossible. I can't join them or the parts are no longer dynamically updateable if the board changes. Also things like the silkscreen show in the pushed doc but not when it's derived or imported into another fusion doc. How do I fix that.

Hi @sales3MPAD

I hope you are doing well!

Today we release Fusion V2.0.9848. We do some fix for Rigid group in this release. Please update Fusion 360 and try this issue again.

If you still can reproduce this issue, it would be great if you can share your file to us so that we can find the root cause of this issue.

Besides, as a workaround, you can choose Rigid Group command to make the 3D PCB as a whole component.

Please have a try, thanks!

Regards,

Panpan Fan

How do I update fusion? I thought that was already automatic. As for the PCB being a component, it already is. No difference in result if the other component body uses a transparent material.

it finally flagged an update was ready. Updated and the problem still exists. Jorge.garcia already has the files.

My experience is that this happened to all PCB's created before the last update. I've made a post on what I've seen here.

The simplest solution is creating a rigid model. But if you need this item in more designs you can also fix the 3D PCB with the following steps:

Break the link between 2D PCB and 3D PCB;
Use the 2D PCB to create a new version of the 3D PCB.
Save and overwrite the original
