Can't combine a drawing from an Animation with the regular drawings of a combination of a few components

[Badger1875]

Hi folks,

first of all: Hello from a newbie with the hope for help! Please accept my bad English...

I built a tool for my knife smithing shop. Now I constructed the whole thing component by component in Fusion 360 to share with a few friends. I modelled all the parts of the tool in 3D with imported screws, washers and stuff and combined all the components as I did in reality. From all the components I created a drawing for every machined part with measurements and saved the file with 14 drawings. Everything worked so far.

Then I ran an animation to create an exploded view and received a drawing which I saved in the same folder as the other drawings. This worked too.

Now I want to iport the drawing of the exploded view to the file with the other drawings, cause the bleong together and I only want to have a single file with all the drawings. So I turn out to have two files, one with the 3D-modelling and one with all (!) of the drawings. Now I'm stuck.

A right-click allows me to import a new drawing but when I open the folder where I saved the exploded drawing to, the title says, there are no templates and shows an empty file-structure.

What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me?

Or is there no solution to combine a drawing from an construction with a drawing from an animation.

Thank you in advance!

Freddie

I hope I am understanding your question.  Basically you would like a multi-sheet drawing containing components, assembly and animation exploded view, if so, take a look at the Screencast.

Hi John,

thank you for your fast reply and the very informative screencast! What I already saw in the cast looks that it is what I was looking for. I will try it out tomorrow and will reply as soon as possible.

Thank you very much so far!!!

Hi John,

as I promised yesterday, here is my feedback:

Repeated, I want to thank you for your time and the very helpful screencast:

This solved my problem and I'm very satisfied!!!

As being a newbie to most of CAD specially 3D, it's sometimes hard to find the way by learning autodidactic. Without the help of people like you and many others in forums like this, someone like me would be lost.

Thank you very much!
