April 2022 Product Update - Improvements, Known Issues, and Fixes

V.2.0.12887

Improvements, Known Issues, and Fixes

Usability 

Fixed 

• We fixed a crash issue that was found when you tried to delete a mirrored component and the joint associated with that component.  
• leonknook reported on the forum that Fusion 360 froze when he was in the browser, right-clicked on a body, and selected "Save as Mesh". We dug into this a little deeper and found that it had to do with a registry and a missing executable, throwing Fusion 360 into an endless loop. This is now fixed. 

Electronics 

Fixed 

• A bug in the Electronics environment caused the UI to leave extra empty item in the Design Manager for Net Classes. Now these empty slots are gone. 
• If you renamed a Net Class entity and pressed the Enter key to commit the change, the name of the Net Class was updated in the Net Class dialog but was not updated in the Design Manager. Now it is.  
• If you tried to add another symbol or footprint to a library that was in the process of saving, Fusion 360 unexpectedly popped up the Save dialog. This is now fixed.  
• We fixed a tooltip typo where “footprints” was missing a “p” in word.  
• We fixed an error that was occurring when Fusion 360 was performing an Autosave.  
• We fixed a Fusion 360 crash issue when Fusion 360 was trying to update the library from a not having a footprint to having a footprint in a schematic file.  
• Apparently you were not able to delete the first of the Name in Inspector when pressing the Backspace key. Now it should work without issues.  
• We fixed an issue related to memory management and threads run outside of the UI thread.  
• yscheer told us about how Entering empty values into the name field of the Inspector lead to instability, causing Fusion 360 to crash. This is now fixed.  
• We fixed an issue where you were not able to change the name of your device into Chinese characters in the name field within the Inspector dialog. 
• Some command dialog failed to reappear after you cancelled the Insert Schematic/Insert Design Block and then proceeded to activate the Move or Net command. This is now fixed.  
• sebastienSQA5P and others reported that they’ve been seeing an error messaging say that Fusion 360 has detected an unexpected condition ...orthomover.cpp,Line672', whenever they tried to convert arcs to polygon and continued to move it. Sorry about that – this is now fixed.  

Drawing 

Fixed 

• Some of you told us that Creating a drawing using an existing template took more time to load, along with this warning popup "Your version of Fusion 360 is out-of-date. You won't be able to see all the properties of this drawing or design until you restart Fusion 360." This is now fixed and creating drawings shouldn’t take that long anymore. 
• Related to the issue above, we also fixed an issue that caused Item numbers to go missing in the parts lists after you’ve acknowledged the "Your version of Fusion is out-of-date. You won't be able to see all the properties of this drawing or design until you restart Fusion 360." Warning.  
• We fixed an issue where a warning popped up unexpectedly when you tried to create a drawing from a 3D design saved in the cloud.  

Manufacture 

Fixed 

• Editing an operation with a tool that has multiple presets and then re selecting the tool causes the pre set selection to change and invalidates the toolpath. 
• Previously when you were editing a tool in the tool library for older files, the trailing angle field was incorrectly missing for the custom general turning tools. If you had created a new tool, that field will appear. Now the tools for the both old and new toolpath operations should show the trailing angle field in the tool library. 
• Amish from SSCADCAM reported that, when trying to create a form mill, the window showed up as blank. Closing it and opening a new window still showed blank but the number was incremented.This is now fixed. 
• We fixed a crash issue that was happening after you moved a part in the Design workspace and then switching to the Manufacture workspaces.  
• You told us that while entering force values in the Simluation study, the applied force with a minus sign produced "flipped" results (according to the applied force the model should be stretched). After looking at the code, it appeared that the minus sign was not respected by the solver. With the positive value, everything looked correct. This is now fixed.  
• Nick Polanosky told us that the ability to drag the position marker for plane, walls, partial cylinders etc. No plonger worked as expected. We untangled some wires and now position graphics handles for cadProbe x/y/z plane, channel, boss, angle and partial circle should be draggable again. 
• We fixed an issue where placeholder parameters were not exported properly in defaults. Now when you import exported files with parameters, you will no longer get an “"Unable to load parameters from file"” error.  

Additive 

Fixed 

• We updated the hidden Support > Internal settings to be 0 by default.
• We fixed an issue where "Assign Body Presets" wasn't working correctly after you cleared the bodies selection. 
• We fixed an crash issue that was triggered when you tried to delete body presets.  
• We fixed a crash issue when you tried to generate a toolpath for FFF machines.  

Print settings  

• If you created an EOS machine setup, sooner or later you’ll notice that the General tab in your Print Settings Editor disappeared for no reason. This is now fixed and the General tab will always been there.  
• There are parameter groups which are optional so that the youcan enable/disable such a group and its parameters. The parameter dialog should show a checkbox to allow enabling/disabling. Apparently, the OneClickMetal MPRINT machine has some parameter groups which are optional but cannot be enabled/disabled. Now the option "interval" can be enabled and disabled correctly. 
• We fixed an issue where “Configure EBPA Settings” section was missing in the Print Settings Editor after you re-opened certain files.  
• For some weird reason, Tessellation settings for One Click Metal MPRINT+316L were being multiplied by factor 10. This now fixed. 
• We fixed a crash issue that was triggered by the action of deleting a print preset.  
• We fixed another crash issue that was triggered when you tried to delete a duplicate build strategy with the same name as the original.  
• If you changed the default build strategy, then Fusion 360 did not correctly update the browser tree if all the bodies were assigned with the old default strategy. This is now fixed. 
• We fixed an issue in the Extrusion print settings where the parameter values for Extruder 2 incorrectly matched the values of Extruder 1, after you changed the values of Extruder 1. Now the Extruder 2 will remain unchanged if changes were made to Extruder 1.  
• The machine platform inexplicably disappeared after you assigned a Body Preset to a body. This is now fixed.

Any progress on the macOS trackpad issues? It's been years with no discernible progress. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/issue-with-mac-trackpad/m-p/11120750#M149149

Now I get this from my Anti Virus, would appear there is something embedded in the Fusion File that it sees as dangerous, please fix, I do not wish to override my Anti Virus software and risk compromising my Computer.

Again, please fix, I can not use Fusion with this issue, had to close it down !!!!

[FrodoLoggins]

Fusion won't open now. Stops responding on M1 10 seconds after trying to open it.

+1 on fixing Mac trackpad issues! They're numerous and frustrating.

[thespencerowen]

Please address the Mac trackpad issue. It has been ongoing for a long time with lots of people reporting the same behavior. The only workaround is restarting fusion every couple of hours.

There is nothing malicious about streamer.exe. Just because your AntiVirus program doesn't know about streamer.exe does not mean the file or any of it's contents are dangerous.

This file is used to download and install/update/deploy Fusion.

You need to tell your AntiVirus program that it's safe and have it unblocked.

The trackpad has been fixed for a while. Right now you need to turn on the preview feature (in preferences) called Native Trackpad. We hope to make this the default experience but for now it's a preview feature.

Key step: when Fusion prompts you to restart automatically after changing the preference, do not use the option. Close preferences and wait 30 seconds. Then manually restart Fusion. Check preferences afterwards to ensure Native Trackpad is enabled.
