Hi all -

I was curious to get people's thoughts on simplifying workflow for inserting components en-masse into a model.

Imagine electronic components on a PCB, or window frame in a building floor plan -

Is there a way to tag or name points/handles within the model to then batch instantiate components for each occurrence with correct orientation and position.

Atm I find myself manually copying, moving, orienting them, which is somewhat inefficient. Especially when dealing with many different types of components.

No, that concept does not exist in Fusion. It does exist to a degree in other CAD systems e.g.

 

It might be possible that some of this can be done with the help of the Fusion API.
