Add-in missing from Manufacture workspace

[tiktuk]

I was going to use the Nester Add-in to lay out my manufacturing model (I don't have access to Arrange) but found that it is not available there. In the design workspace it shows up.

Any ideas? It would be really useful..

It might be a design space only Addin? I dont have it but I would think that gear generator works the same way. It will only work in the design space and not manufacturing because you cant generate the gear body in manufacturing, only design?

Your are correct, the add-in is implemented in the design workspace only.   I will put a shameless plug in for MapBoards or MapBoards Pro.    IMO and others I've not seen a difference in the results Arrange can produced and you will have much more control in the results that are produced.

@tiktuk ,

The Arrange feature is available in both workspaces - Design and Manufacture.

To access Arrange in Manufacture workspace, you must create a Manufacturing Model and enter the Edit Manufacturing Model environment (via double-click or context menu on browser node). Then you will see Arrange under Modify (just as in the Design workspace).

Thanks @javiar but I only have Personal edition of Fusion right now, so no Arrange, otherwise I'd used that.

Oh, I had no idea that MapBoards existed, I'll definitely buy that – great news! Laying out parts is the most tedious thing ever. That makes my day, thank you so much ☺️ !
