Adding 3D model to component in Managed Library (Eagle library) creates 2nd 3D model

scott — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 07:29:56 GMT

I'm an Eagle user trying out Fusion 360 Electronics. I edited within Fusion a Managed Library from the Eagle side. This is my own library, so I have edit privileges. In Eagle I would add a STEP file to an existing footprint, but when I did that in Fusion, instead of changing the default 3D model, it created a second one so that the package is now associated with two 3D models, one being the original one which lacked useful data, and the new one with the STEP file in it. Is there a way to prevent this and force the existing to 3D model to be updated instead?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi @scott

I hope you are doing well!

Do you try to delete the original 3d model from the Browser tree and then add the new package?

I hope I don't misunderstand your question.

If it can't solve your problem, please let us know.

I did not delete anything. I'm realizing that, when I saved the model, I tweaked the name, so maybe that's why there are two now? I'll have to experiment more -- I'm still learning the Fusion 360 process.

Thanks,
Scott
