Bevel Gear APP (I want to get rid of it permanently)

Chris-Draw — Fri, 24 May 2024 07:01:59 GMT

Please can someone let me know how to get rid of the Bevel Gear app. I used it once and now do not want it littering my fusion screen. How can I get it removed please?

All the best CHRIS

Have you looked in control panel, programs to see if there's an uninstall option in Windows? If there's no option for that, in Fusion go to the Utilities tab then add ins, Scripts addins and find the add in and disable Run on Startup. Also under details you can find the path to the add in and use that to manually delete.

Hi Chris, took a while to twig who you are, long time no see. Still dabbling with CAD, is that just on your own projects now? Work is still going OK here, made it through all the madness of the last few years! Bob and Steve still working on vintage cars and threatening to retire for the past 5 years.

Mark, good afternoon, Yes 'It is Me!'
We moved from Glos, to Soggy Sidmouth in 2014, Sold the 3D printer and
model railway modelling business in 2016. The chap who bought it
promptly let the business slip. I had quite a few comments at the time as
to why I had let him have it?!
He made all the right noises and came up with the money.

Pleased to hear your news, and that things are still rolling along, it's
been a long while now since Mauler Plastics days! Still have the Gym
upstairs, are you still in the same units? Tooling must have changed these
last 10 years. I wouldn't know where to start! Stick to modelmaking

I left 3D CAD alone from 2016 until 2020 Covid and was bored, so started
again with a £200 Mars. Promptly sent it back after trying hard to get
something decent out of it. Purchased a better 3D printer again. I spend
about 20 hours a week doing bits for myself and others. Nothing serious,
just keeping my hand in.
Fusion, I still have my Inventor Licence but dont update it. So Paid for
Fusion 3 years, and have been importing my old designs and utilising them
for new stuff.
I have found Fusion Software more time consuming than Inventor.

Ref your reply I can't find anything in Uninstall on the control panel, I
cannot find a Utilities area in Fusion. So I am stuck. The Addin doesn't
affect anything, it just annoys me that once installed I can't get rid of
it from my Top Menu line.
Really good to hear from you, wish you well and the Car renovators'
All the Best Chris n Christine

Chris, which bevel gear add in did you try, a search give 3 different add-ins. I looked a the instructions for 2 of them and they say run the install program again and you should get an option to uninstall.
