Can't use circular pattern

Anonymous — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:01:17 GMT

How do I use the fusion 360 team web browser? I don't know how to use the circular pattern in the fusion 360 web browser. That is not the same with how circular pattern work in fusion 360 program. Another question is that can I download the fusion 360 program on Chromebook? Please help me by answering questions.

Thank you.

the web version of Fusion is very limited. It doesn't support the pattern commands. And no, you cannot download Fusion for Chromebook, unfortunately.

As @jeff.strater has indicated the Fusion 360 Web version is very limited however it can do both rectangular and circular patterns on bodies. Here is my Screencast showing a circular pattern on a simple body (no sound).

Thank you so much for your help. One more question please. Can't the circular pattern work on 2D drawing? Something like this

I want to do the smallest circle around the three circles like the top photo but I can't do it.

No, I have found that Fusion 360 Web can only do patterns of bodies. Even though it says it can do Faces, I have not had any luck with it. You are trying to do a pattern of a model sketch which as far as I can tell is not supported.

As you move forward in your use of Fusion 360, or any CAD package, you need to learn the proper terminology. When you create a line, circle or any entity shape on a sketch plane in the beginning of your model, that is called a Sketch. After you extrude, revolve, etc. that sketch you have a Model. The term Drawing is reserved for the 2D drawing created from the model such as the example below. In your post you refer to a 2D Drawing but you are showing and talking about a model sketch.

thanks for keeping me honest, @jhackney1972 - it has been a while since I've used the web version, and I couldn't remember whether pattern was supported or not. I just assumed that the OP was correct. I guess it is supported after all! 😀. So, this time, I checked, and unfortunately, @Anonymous , sketch pattern is NOT supported in the web version.
