Arrange Tool Missing for Educational Version?

jburickJUFQ4 — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:37:45 GMT

Hello!

I am a teacher and use Fusion 360 in my CAD and fabrication class - we have used the arrange feature in the manufacture workspace for years and now it seems to be missing. It is enabled in preferences, but I still cannot find it...any help would be appreciated as I have a class full of students staring at me lol.

I think you need to have Design History captured for this function to show up 🙂

Hmmm - it looks like it is on for me? The screenshot clipped the timeline.

Ah, I was hasty. You're in Manufacture, not Design. There's a new Preview Flag in your Preferences for "Automated Arrange". Toggling it will give you back the functionality you'd expect to see.

That is actually enabled....but I'm reading the fine print - you no longer use arrangements in the Manufacturing workspace? That is now done in the design workspace?

With Automated Arrange toggled to "Off", you will still be able to use it in the MFG space. We do have some improvements in the pipeline to allow for Automated to work in MFG, but that's further down the road as far as I know.
