How to invite collaborators - education license

georgeouimet1 — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 15:18:30 GMT

Hello,

Have any of you been able to invite other Fusion 360 users to collaborate on a project (not just share)? I can find the spot to do it, but I am unable to click the button to invite users. This would be useful for me and my students, any help would be appreciated. Is it just not an available feature on an education license? If so- that would be disappointing.

The education license is more powerful than the commercial license. It has all the same collaboration tools.

I teach at night, in addition to working for Autodesk, and have never had an issue with this. Can you provide a screenshot showing where the point of failure is so I may better understand what you describe? Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. Under the "People" section in the data panel for a folder, the invite button is not functional. I click on either that or the "enter email addresses" bar but nothing happens.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Just to clarify a couple things.

Can you please make a screenshot of the About box? Go to ? Help > About to see the about box.

And just confirming, you are using a team hub or a personal hub? If you aren't sure, make a screenshot of this menu after you open it:

I'm not sure, but it may be because you are running an older build from August. There have been several updates since, including a couple more important updates.

I will get my tech dept to update and see if that fixes the issue. Will update if solution is found.

I updated the software last night to the most current version and I still am not able to add collaborators. The button is there, but I cannot actually click it.

Due to the educational admin installation you have, it looks like there is a setting that prevents invite from Fusion 360.

Does this article help:

Figured it out - it seems some permissions were not set under the "Admin Project" folder, but when I created a new folder in my main data tab, it then allowed me to share it with other people.
