Why I am reconsidering Fusion

[barry9UDQ6]

Hi All

I understand that these reasons only apply to me, and I don't mean to make a bigger deal out of them than I have to, but I am having to do a lot of re-work because of two 'small' things.

• The inability to flatten a lofted sheet metal flange. In my case these objects form the starting point for my entire design.
• DXF export of nested sheets. I have been seriously impressed with the new nesting extension. But I (and I suspect quite a few others) need to export DXFs, and not toolpaths. The projected profiles from my nested solids are all over the place, more than 50% are not closed. (in my case going on 100 parts with open profiles)

All the other gripes I have I am quite happy to live with- no bend lines on nested sheets, no bend annotations on nested sheets, no dark theme, no un-dockable toolbar (moan moan 😀)

In my case, these 2 gripes are causing me a huge amount of rework by having to use other software, and losing that all-important associativity.

Hi @barry9UDQ6 ,

I'm sorry to hear you are running into some big blockers in your workflow.  I was hoping you could give me some more info about your 2nd "gripe".  Would you be able to share a file with us so we can figure out what's going wrong?  Once we see the file we may be able to discuss some workarounds if there are any.

Thanks,

Thanks Kyle, this design is proprietary. But I will send you a sheet tomorrow.
