Fusion locks up when adding threads

mippen — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 17:14:29 GMT

I have a simple block with holes that crosses each other.

When adding a thread to both holes fusion locks with "loading" symbol.

First I thought it was underperformance of computer but same thing with other more powerful ones.

Is this a bug or is it not allowed operation?When clicking "mold" the software freeze and quits

It looks like a bug to me, I was not able to thread intersecting holes, modeled or not on my computer.

Hi thanks for the notice.

Before I log a bug report for this, can you help me understand your workflow? I'm not familiar with crossing threaded holes, and how they are used in manufacturing. In order for me to represent your desired workflow I need to know a few things. Mostly just this:

What sort of device is this, and how important is it to make fully threaded holes that cross each other?

I disagree this is a bug, we're asking a lot out of Fusion in a way that does not make any sense. Also, when i try it gives me an error that the operation fails with that geometry selection.

Note the error at the bottom:

Now using threaded holes and several operations:

The part is a corner bracket that holds a couple of plates together.

I'm trying to do it symetrical so same part can be used for two installations.

One using 2 long and 2 short screws, the other only short.

Sure I can redesign.

But for me the software crashes without complaining and that should be a bug?

If i'm doing "not feasable" operations and the software gives me a fault I'm totally fine.. but och locked software.

Any crash is a bug. Thanks for telling me of your workflow and design intent. It appears that "error handling" is incomplete for this workflow. If it errors sometimes (legitimate geometry error), and hangs for similar cases instead, that means the code needs to handle this other case and show the error rather than hang.
