Can't Export or Send to 3D printer

dorif — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 14:40:34 GMT

Suddenly I can't export my file (to an STL) or 3D print (to STL). The program is giving me no feedback at all about why it isn't working. I have a free educator account and am not sure what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Using a Mac OS 10.15.4 and the latest version of Fusion 360. Has always worked in the past until now. Stumped... thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply. I just tried what you said and still same result. No file exports or downloads. Once I select the option and complete the task it does not bring the menu up a second time and no result. I am not sure what to screen shot for you but am happy to. Would love to get my file to so I can print it! Any other ideas? Many thanks.

What is the file name?

Screenshots?

Actual *.f3d file?

Reboot your computer,

the operating system is not opening the file management system,

File > Export, saves the document to hard drive - not Correct tool,

Body> Save as Mesh - starts correctly,

but destination is not working in either case.

Might help....
