Fusion 360 Set default preferences

[Anonymous]

Hi, Am attempting to deploy fusion 360 behind a firewall in my school, and for the most part have been successful after finding the instructions, except I have to set the proxy in preferences for users to enable users to be able to save files (Work Online) etc, is there a way to globally deploy this setting for all users on the machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community!

Great question! At this time, I do not believe this will be possible automatically. I believe the easiest workflow would be to copy the proxy information that is needed in the preferences and ask each user to manually input this into their individual Fusion profiles. That is the quickest one that comes to mind at this time, but I will check into it more. 

I checked in with the Streamer team however and they told me that they are making some changes in how Fusion handles proxies which should solve this issue! At this time, there really isn't an estimate for when the improved proxy handling will be coming out, but I am looking forward to when it comes out!

I'm curious to know your thoughts! I'll keep brainstorming some ideas and if you are willing to try some tests, I can private message you some ideas!

Thanks,
