Importing a .f3z file.

[lemelman]

I've managed to export a 2D drawings file as a .f3z and download it onto my HDD. This is virgin territory for me and I now have some questions about it.

1. What's in it? The 2D drawing file was created from a 3D model. Is the 3D model inside the .f3z? If not, where is it, and how do I link the two together again?

2. If I import it into my Fusion program, will it overwrite an existing file with the same name, or can I rename it on-the-fly, as it were?

3. Are the linkages intact? If I update the model will the drawings update in the usual way?

1. Yes, the 2D and 3D both are in there
2. No, it won't overwrite. You can have multiple items with the same name. You can rename anything in Fusion as many times as you wish to.
3. Yes, the linkages are intact. Changes to newly uploaded 3D will only affect the newly uploaded linked 2D. You may want to go through this Forum post.

Thank you so much, that has solved a problem that I've had for a very long time. It will save me a great deal of time and effort.
