Importing and transferring library

ferrerCBW3T — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 23:34:39 GMT

So initially, I was given an account to try out fusion 360 and during that stage, I made a couple of component libraries (symbol, footprint, 3d). Mostly, I didn't made a component out of scratch but I added them by downloading the symbol, footprint and 3d from an online component search engine like ultralibrarian or snapeda.

Now, I was given my "final" fusion 360 account to use for myself after the trial period. I want to move my libraries from the previous account (email1) to my new account (email2).

I did the following:

1. Open the library in fusion 360 while logged in using old account (email1).

2. Click "export". The resulting file is .flbr (stored to my local disk).

3. I log out of my previous trial account (email1) and log in using new account details (email2).

4. Open data panel and navigate to the folder (or project) I created that will contain my library files.

5. Upload the .flbr file from my local disk.

6. I open library manager and import the file from fusion team.

Now, I open my library in fusion 360 and try to edit a part 3d, I get the following error:

So does this mean that the 3d itself is separate from the actual library? How should I transfer and import library (symbol + component + 3d) from one account to another?

I don't seem to have a problem when editing the footprint or symbol themselves.

Hello @ferrerCBW3T,

I hope you're doing well. The 3D file is in fact separate from the library which leads to the situation you are seeing. Generally you have to contact support in order to move files between one account and another. Go to manage.autodesk.com and login from there you'll be able to initiate a support ticket so that the files can be moved from one account to another.

Let me know if you continue to run into problems.

Best Regards,

Thank you, This is such a hassle though. I wish there was a way to just link/unlink a row in the component library from a certain 3d file. I ended up "fixing" my problem by remove the component to footprint link so I could delete the linked 3d file in package table, and "re-create/insert into current design" the actual 3d file in the new fusion team/fusion account.

Hi @ferrerCBW3T,

You will get no arguments from me there. Work is being done to make this experience better, I'll pass your comments along to the team.
