Copy Models with Drawings

I was reading the new blog post about copying designs and the drawings that go with them. When I select copy from the data panel, I don't get the pop up window to select the drawing options as it shows in the blog post. I am running version 2.0.16009 x86_64. Is there some settings that I need to activate somewhere to get this feature?

 

Thanks for any help!!

Think this is coming in the next release. 

 

If you only have one design and one drawing you can create a copy now by downloading the drawing then reupload to a different project. The 2d drawing will bring along the design it was created from.

I just updated Fusion this morning and I still do not have this feature. Is it working for anyone else?

Doesn't seem to be! I've tried to contact someone from AutoDesk, I'll let you know what they say.

It is now August, does anyone know if this is fixed or is there some other barrier to accessing it?

If I try copying a design that has a drawing attached I get a dialog asking if I want to include the drawing.

You only get drawings for the design you're copying, not any that might be associated with linked subassemblies.

It is here now.  Right click on a model, that has associated drawing(s) in the Data Panel, choose Copy and this dialog box will appear.  This is from a Subscription of Fusion 360, did not test Personal.

Unfortunately, it does not work at least for sheet metal parts.

If doing a "copy with drawings" and then renaming the two copies, you can see that there are external references between the new files, but the sheet metal part inside the drawing keeps the old name.

And the file browser says "out of date reference" as shown in pictures.

Hello, I'm having the same problem.

I can only copy them one at a time but it's not linked.. (drawing is linked to original model.) I tried saving a new model version, updating and saving a new drawing version. not sure where to go from here.

 

I can send a "fusion archive" to my email then download it and save it back into my fusion. But that's a bit of a hassle. 

 

also speaking of that !! update your drawing then send a "fusion archive" !! otherwise it will send the older version that drawing is linked to.

 

thanks
