Sync visibility and orientation no longer works with ANYCAD xrefd files

So after the last update, there was supposedly a fix to stop the view orienting after every time you edit a toolpath but now all my files that use .sldprt no longer have the option to  sync visibility or orientation.

 

I uploaded another part directly to fusion which was a .step and it still has this functionality.

 

Bug? or am i missing something really obvious.

 

Cant upload any files for confidentiality reasons.

 

Cheers

Sync visibility has been removed for any file that has a manufacturing model for now. It's available up until the point you make a manufacturing model.

@mattdlr89 has go it exactly.

To add a  bit more info on the why.

With the addition of manufacturing models to control part visibility we had to ensure there was no conflict.

So if you have manufacturing models present then the "sync visibility" is not there.

This is being looked at to see if we can have the 2 working together without conflict issues.

Ah I see,

 

That kind of breaks my entire workflow with a lang vise, 

I need to use the manufacturing model if I use anycad so I can make changes to the model(remove/add chamfers/fillets etc) without breaking the link.

 

Annoyingly this was all working in the past, then the issue of fixture collisions appeared where the fixture from other ops was being detected in simulation.

 

I suppose ill just have to lose the ANYCAD functionality and go back to the way we used to do it, we don't often really need it but it does come in handy when design makes a change then I can update everything without losing all my toolpaths etc.

Probably for the best as the workflow to use anycad is pretty slow and clunky compared to just direct uploading files to Fusion.
