Hi

 

I have a problem with Fusion 360 dwg file right now.

Story is I need to sent drawing file in dwg for manufacturing

but at the manufacturer end they said they can not view model from those drawing.

When they open file only dimension is visible to them (dwg 2000 version and I already convert file for them)

 

I am at lost now and need some help about this issue.

I also attached said drawing in this post.

 Hi,

I could open the attached drawing in AutoCAD 2017. Only i see the dimensions are dis-associated.

Fusion's DWG files can only be read by AutoDesk products. If you don't have AutoCad or AutoCad Lt you can view with DWG Trueview but that's it. Some people have used Trueview to save as an older version then open in DraftSight.

 

Here are a few Ideastation request you can vote on. Don't know if it will help getting it implemented as AutoDesk seem blind to how important this is.

Yeah unfortunately, you need AutoCAD to fix up the file. I can't make Fusion 360 work for me, buying AutoCAD to change the drawing mode isn't a practical solution. I'm going to stick with my current CAD program until the Fusion team offers output settings I can use.

I can only see the fusion360 dwg annotations and text blocks in third party viewers. BUT NO structures.

So I signed up for Autocad Mobile. 

 

Exactly the same .... Autocad Mobile only displays the text but missing all the lines and images.

 

Also the fonts and text scaling is not working properly in Autocad Mobile.

 

How can I send anyone a dwg if they cant view it ?
