Unable to see "Print Settings", "Infill", and "Supports" tabs under Manufacturing>Additive for FFF printers

Hi Community!

 

As of 2022-01-22 (Friday) I am no longer seeing the tabs under Additive in Manufacturing for "Print Settings", "Infill", and "Supports" for any FFF 3D printer. For SLA printers the "Supports" tab does appear, but those are missing for the SLS printer too.  I have submitted a support ticket, but maybe this is a simple setting I changed that can be reverted and one of you ran into it.

 

Appreciate the help,

 

SN

And by Friday, I meant 2022-01-21. As of today, those tabs are still not visible. I have tried different computers and accounts as well.

HI @Stephan4EX3F ,

 

In the recent Fusion 360 update (which occurred 18th January) we made a change to the way you can edit your print settings.
The additive toolbar will now look something like this:

Previously you had the following 4 extra icons in the toolbar:

1. Print setting selector

2. Print setting editor

3. Infill specific print setting editor

4. Support specific print setting editor

 

In order to improve the user experience we have simplified the workflow and removed duplicatd steps.
The print settings can now only be selected when creating or editing a setup - see below:

For the print settings editor, this can no be done either within the print settings library (found under the "Manage" toolbar group within the additive toolbar), or by selecting "edit" on the print setting itself within the setup - shown below:

As for the infill and support print settings, they can still be fully edited within this print settings edit dialog as they have always been - see below:

Note, expect to find "Infill pattern" & "Infill Density" in the 'Basic' Tab.
