Sheet metal module is not in the UI

I need to go back into some older files that are only a few months old and add some sheet metal parts to the assemblies. Why is it that the sheet metal module does not show in some of my older designs? The sheet metal module is not in the UI? Why and how do I fix this?

Yes I am on the lasted build of Fusion with the new updated UI.

Attach one of your problem models so the forum users can troubleshoot your issue.  If you think you need to revert back to the old UI, you can do this temporarily in your Preferences.

1st off, I don't really want to use the old UI if I don't have to is there any way around that? 

 

Also, I think there may be a bug and that is why it's not showing up, is that a possibility?  I went into preferences changed it to the old UI then back and forth a couple of times, to review what older files had the sheet metal UI and what ones do not.   Now the sheet metal module does not even show up when running the old UI at least in the one file I need to add sheet metal parts into? I've looked threw all the menus and dropdowns, its not there.  IF I create a new file then the sheet metal module is there.

Do you have Capture Design History turned on for the file where it does not appear?

The sheet metal tab is in the new UI in the Design space at the top of the tool bar above the tool icons. If it is not on your screen then you might have to reinstall fusion.

Sheet Metal is not available unless Capture Design History is turned on...

So the files where the sheet metal module was not showing up did not have capture design history turned on. Turned it on and now I have the sheet metal module.   Makes sense for the sheet metal environment it needs to have it turned on.   Is now available in both old and new UI, so not a bug. 

 

THANKS!
