Help ! Where is my design gone?

[ant1ant1]

Hi all I am new here. I have worked many hours designing a real object and religiously saved many times along the way.

I needed to leave Fusion 360 to restart my Macbook and when I did so it did some additional save which I did not understand (cloud upload?)

Now I can't find my design, I went online on the Fusion 360 page and logged in. No joy

Where is it ?

Thanks / Antoine

Hi, do you mean the A360 login, not fusion360?
Do you have the A360 app installed on your phone?
If you log in on that it has a handy page which displays your activity, and might help with what happened.
good luck

Hi @ant1ant1!

Fusion stores all the designs "on the cloud" so yes, you would have seen a message (I forget the exact wording) like "saving to the cloud" or "uploading to the cloud" when exiting the application. This is normal.

When you log into the program Fusion 360, does it not apear in your data panel (the panel to the left)?

Try going to "Recent Data" and see if it is there.

Or, perhaps go to "Offline mode" and see if it is there. If it is, open the file, leave offline mode, and then use "save as". I suggest saving it in another folder or possibly as a different name, and make sure you see it in your data panel (on the left) before exiting.

Good luck!

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes, I logged into the A360 page (see what a newbie - I did not notice the difference).

I have nothing installed on my iPhone. Is there not such a "find my files" feature in the "main" Fusion 360 app? 

I am not too keen on installing yet another app on my phone just to find out where a file has disappeared from my computer...

Thanks Autumn. The Offline trick worked!

I am also a newbie, I just found the mobile app quite neat, and quick to look at.
I see Autumn.S had the solution.
