Possible multiple accounts (?)

SC_Precision — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:27:46 GMT

I "believe" I may have multiple accounts which probably happened out of confusion with Fusion 360, and the general Autodesk account. Now, I can not seem to access a project which was shared to me through one address which I "thought" was the email I used with Fusion360, but can not see the project in my Fusion 360 projects. During the confusion, I think I set up a new autodesk account, but I am not confident in anything I have done at this point. I do have an account that has been in use for some time with a lot of data and projects, I don't want to lose that one. The AVA was confused by my request, understandably!

Hi @SC_Precision

Thanks for posting. One way to determine if you've logged into Fusion 360 using multiple accounts on your computer is to check for alphanumeric IDs as described in this article.

If you do find that you have more than one alphanumeric ID in the "Autodesk Fusion 360" folder, please send me a screenshot of the alphanumeric IDs you see there - I'm happy to do a reverse lookup on my end and help figure out next steps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

I think I need to send a separate PPT where I have copied a pile of screen shots and other info.

In summary - I had two autodesk accounts, and one fusion 360 account. But in the confusion I do now have two accounts in both locations. So I "think" we just need to delete an account from both Fusion, and Autodesk. Then associate a new email with my primary Fusion and Autodesk accounts. Details in a PPT attached:

Hi @SC_Precision

Thanks for the explanation - the Powerpoint was very helpful. As this will need to be handled by the Accounts team, I've created case #14403595 with them to have a look. You should be hearing from them via email (at the email address associated with your forum handle) shortly.

Please let me know if you have any questions or do not hear from the team - I'm happy to assist.

I have not received any email from support yet, I expected it would be within 24 hours. Is there a way I can check on that case number?

Thanks as usual!
