moving components in arrange

[owensanchez73]

i have been using Fusion 360 for only a few month now, im using arrange for cnc woodworking, im having a difficult time trying to flip part to use the grain of the wood at my liking, i see a plug in option but it asks me to pay for it? i have payed over 4k in my subscription, isnt that enough ? or is there a way to do it and im just missing it ?

How have you paid $4k into Fusion in the last few months and not acquire the MFG extension?

Would you be able to share a sample Fusion file here?

i hope this works

[seth.madore]

It did work, but it's not clear to me what part you're trying to flip over and what the expected result should be 🤔

Let's say I want to cut those doors out of solid wood and of course I would
like to have grain running vertically, when I do the arrange, it put the
doors down, horizontally in the stock and no matter what I do I can't flip
them vertically, I see the plug in to do it but when I cl8cknon it, send me
to a page for me to buy it, have in mind that I'm fairly new to fusion 360
and I'm hoping that I'm just missing something and i dont have to pay more
money just to be able ro move my design around

when i say horizontally or vertically i mean in relation to the wood grain and when i said 4k, is really 2K, dont know why i thought it was 4k but still is alot

And what does this 2k consist of, as a Fusion Commercial license is only around 5-7 hundred dollars (depending on geo location) (also currently on sale for $510 USD). The MFG Extension would tack on another $1,500, so is that where you arrive at the $2k amount?

i bought 3 years

[owensanchez73]

but at this point, still not able to move parts around, keeps asking me to buy the plug in

[seth.madore]

Oh shoot. Grain Direction and Rotation are part of the Manufacturing Extension, sorry. This can be purchased for daily use or year-terms.

disappointed 😕

I believe the answer here is to use the 'Move' command while in 'Edit Manufacturing Model' and align parts manually. You'll loose some of the functionality of the arrange feature without paying for the manufacturing plugin, but you'll be able to choose part alignment yourself.

Count me as disappointed this is behind a $1,500 feature as well, as https://www.cutlistoptimizer.com/ is somehow able to do it in-browser for free...
