Installed the latest update and now machine simulation has dissapeared

[MaxWP2TT]

Hello,

I have just installed the new update, version (2.0.13158), where they added multi axis tilting, and unfortunately my machine simulation is gone, please rectify this ASAP as i cannot use my machine without it.

See screenshot of project i just did earlier today with no problems, now has no machine attached to it!

Also let me know if anyone else has this problem. Thanks in advance

In the new update you can do a simulate or do a machine simulation. There's a new icon. Perhaps you are just using normal simulate...?

Was just looking for this too...

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the release notes(Whats new), unless I'm blind haha.

the simulate with machine icon didn't auto pin to the ribbon for me.

@a.laasW8M6T exactly this. Autodesk are not so good at communicating what the changes are so frequently it leads to confusion like this… 

At the minimum it should be in the “What’s new” post but I’m sure lots do not read that so it would be better telling you these changes in manufacturing workspace the first time you load it after an update…

@dylan_smith

Another example of a need for better release/change notes...

I would have NEVER guessed that, thank you!

We do have a procedure for release notes.  I just went back and checked the ticket that added this new button and I have found that it doesn't have a release note.  It looks like my team forgot to write one.  I am sorry about that.

Now I expect that over the next week or so there are going to be a lot of people asking about it here.  I switch back and forth between development and released versions of Fusion a lot and this change has caught me out a couple of times.  This one really should have been brought to the attention of users.
