Hello, I am a retired engineer just starting to use a 3d scanner for my hobbies.  I have been using the free version of Fusion to post-process the scans but, have a lot to learn.  I did a 3d scan of a machined part and would like to evaluate the flatness of a machined surface.  Ideally, I would like to have a contour plot of the surface showing high and low areas.  Is that something Fusion can do?  If not, is there any other software, preferably free, that you can recommend that can?  Thanks for any help you can provide.                     Show More

I have body that I need to cut vertically and horizontally into two bodies.  I figured out how to do either a horizontal split or vertical split by itself, but doing a partial version of both at the same time escapes me.  I am a casual educational user.  A step by step guide should suffice.  Thank you.

I have downloaded AutoCAD 2023.1.7, but when I launch the program, it takes a long time to load and open—about 15 to 30 seconds. How can I resolve this issue? Please help me. Thank you very much! Show More

Hi everyone, I'm looking to insert multiple pre-saved equipment definitions in AutoCAD Plant 3D  without using the equipment dialog box. My goal: Use a LISP routine to insert a specific equipment type (already saved in the tool palette or catalog) Control the whole process via command line, similar to using -INSERT for blocks Pull insertion data (location, count, orientation, etc.) from an Excel sheet (which I can process with LISP or import separately) I’m trying to automate placement for ~40–50 units and keep everything scriptable. Any ideas, sample code, or direction would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance! Show More

Good Friday to all of you!   I`m from Norway and live and work here. I work as a technical engineer at a cable manufactor business.   I have been using Autocad since 2008 and Fusion since 2019.  I`m trying to learn more about Autocad Electrical, Mechanical and Inventor these days. I have also done some simulations in Fusion lately, which I like alot! And I was introduced to CFD recently which I would really like to learn more about.   I cannot share much from my work due to restrictions. But I will defenetly share from any exciting private projects i have.   Gratefull to be part of this, thanks! Show More
