Eagle 9.1.0 Push to Fusion Sync: Error 409 "Translation in progress"

[Anonymous]

Greetings, all:

Since I use Fusion and Eagle these days, I've started using the Push to Fusion to send STEP files to my clients. I've only been using this a bit now, but since this worked for a little bit, I've now raised my clients' expectations, and simple dimensioned drawings no longer please their feature-addled brain.

So, I've tried Fusion Sync on Eagle 9.1.0. I started this last night, and it crashed out with an error I don't recall. Restarted computer, tried again a few hours ago, clicked thed "work in background". Here we are, with design #2 of the day ready to get Fusion Sunk, and, well, there's no original part in my Fusion Sync project pane thing, and now I get a window that says "Error Pushing to Fusion, please try again later. HTTP 409: Translation in progress".

This is not a complex board, and all I want to do is basically supply the PCB outline to my client (there's no 3D packages on it, as I haven't yet learned how merge STEP files in to Eagle footprints). I used to just do dimensioned drawings and send them PDFs, but, well, now we're in the world of Fusion Sink, and-- I mean, it worked OK for a bit, although it mangled up some text and stuff, generally it was faster more accurate that dimensioned drawings.

So, what's up with the HTTP 409: Translation in progress? The first think I tried to Sync still had a bunch of ratsnest on it, as I was trying to get their buy in on dimensions before finishing it, and maybe that broke the thing. It's a pretty simple board, but as is the case today, everyone's always in a hurry, since "Just in time" manufacturing apparently applies now to prototypes, too, so nobody seems to plan anything anymore..

Cheers,

-Greg

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for reporting the issue. We do know a bug in Fusion 360 that could make the translation failure and you will see "translation in progress" after hours. The fix will be included in the next Fusion update of this month.

The problem should be because of some conflicts between the outline of the board in EAGLE and the board shape in Fusion. Before the Fusion update, one thing you can try is push your design to a new Fusion project, or roll back the Fusion design to a previous version.

Best regards,

Richard

Thanks for the response-

As a brief clue to this:

I imported a step file into Fusion with the name FILENAME . I then used this to manually measure dimensions and such to draw my board outline in Eagle. The filename I had in Eagle was the _same_ as FILENAME I had in Fusion.

So, I was trying to push to Fusion into the same project and same Filename, even though they were very different file types (Original FILENAME was a STEP file provided by my client, and I pushed my Eagle design (with the same FILENAME) into the system.

When I get back into this, I'll try fooling around a bit more: I sort of gave up, as I couldn't figure out an easy way to abort the import.

There is a tip that might be useful for you to create a PCB board from STEP easily - you don't need to measure the edges:

1. Import the STEP model in Fusion;
2. Select the face(s) you want to use as the outline of the board;
3. From the toolbar, select "Sketch->Project | Include ->Project". A sketch will be created using the edges of the face you selected. You can copy the sketches to a new document so you don't need to worry about how do delete the imported bodies.
4. Make sure you are capturing the design history, and from the "Create" group of the toolbar, select "Create PCB->PCB Profile", select the sketch you just created, hit 'Ok", a PCB board will be created
5. Go to EAGLE, from the Fusion Sync dialog, select the PCB feature created in Step 4, then Pull.

Next time I have a chance to do this I'll try this:

I was randomly tryin this just when the Push/Pull stuff was just introduced, and it.. Didn't work very well.

The other limit to this is that it doesn't import part origin information very well, since in general 3D model packages aren't necessarily 100% aligned with pad data at this point. This means I still have to take measurements to get the centers of all the parts that may have been stuck on the board by the mechanical engineers I work with.

For most of what I do, this is pretty straight forward, as they are mainly concerned with connectors, standoffs, sensors, and suchlike, and don't really care too much about electrical bits.
