Capacity Reached - Unable to delete "My Editable Documents" to free capacity

john.n.johnson — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 03:16:44 GMT

Reached my max capacity of 10 documents. All files are archived (see attached). But several remain in "My Editable Documents (see attached) which I believe keeps my capacity at 10 and I cant delete or move them. If I right click on these files nothing happens. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In meantime, I found an article in our internal base that can help you.

Could you check the following steps:

Restore Archived designs from Fusion 360 hub
Navigate to "My Editable Documents" on Fusion 360
Mark them as "Read-only"
Those files can be archived after marking them as "Read-only" if not required

Thanks for the response/offering help to support me. My e-mail is john.n.johnson@comcast.net. I did see your added response to try to restore my archive etc. I will do it this morning (still very early in the USA) and revert back with findings. Many thanks.

You enjoy your weekend as well. This has taught me something that I have been struggling with for a while now and caused a lot of frustration on my part. Now that I know what to do, I, as a woodworking hobbyist who use Fusion 360 exclusively for all my designs (irrespective of how simple), can now manage this situation. I do need to practice managing my projects in a better way (optimized, grouping drawings and design into a single project etc.). As a newbie to Fusion, I will practice by cleaning up my existing project/folders. Many thanks once again. Excellent support!!!

@john.n.johnson

Maybe you know about this but there is a pretty nice app for woodworking in Fusion.

Here you can find a link to the introduction of this add-in:

JoinerCAD for beginners (Introduction)

What's more, below I put some extra links to tutorials including texturing and appearance making maybe you find something useful:

1) Importing CUSTOM MATERIALS in Fusion 360
2) Creating custom materials in Fusion 360
3) How to apply materials in Fusion 360
