Derive

[MariusBaard]

Once I made an Derive file from parts in my design and I pattern them and save my derive file, I then change something in the properties of that part in the main design, my derive file looses all the pattern  I have done.

Some times its fine, but most of the time this only happens after I have given the DXF to the graphic designers and artwork were places onto DXF. They then do a spot color or varnish that I have to add to the derive file. Then it creates havoc as I cannot update the file to get the info onto the PDF. There is a work around as you can see on my screen cast, but this is not the solution.

Please fix this BUG

Kind regards

Hi,

What is the state of the sheet metal design? In your video it's not ever shown. If that design that the flat patterns are derived from is in a rolled back state, or somehow the flat patterns are gone or changed, the derived file might behave strangely.

I say this because after the update, the timeline for your derive file becomes populated with errors. 

Can you try opening the derive source and verifying that flat patterns are healthy and appear as they are expected in the derived destination?

If the source file looks good, then a bug or unexpected problem is present. If possible I would like to test this using your design. A shared link or exported copy would be great.

Thanks,

@Anonymous Thanks for the reply.

The design is in good health, I will send you the file and you can confirm this for me.

Here is screen cast attached

Thanks. I can reproduce the issue using only insert derive and move component/capture position and have sent this to the appropriate development team.

Thanks for reporting this. Please let me know if you remain blocked, or have a workaround for other customers if they find this.

Thanks @Phil.E 

I have no work around except not updating the file as I did nothing to the design.

But if you change the design, then you have to re do everything.

Trust this will be sorted soon, with the awesome team you have

Glad you found it's a bug, Thought I was going loopy. 

I do a similar thing with flat pattern layouts. Derive into new design, move into a pattern and sketch any etching on them. Then finally make a 2d drawing and export as dxf.

Today I found that updating cause all parts to reset to origin and all sketches removed. Since this is the only real way to handle multiple flat patterns it is a major problem for me.

Hi again. This week Fusion 360 had a major update to build 2.0.8749. This bug should be fixed in this latest update. Please update Fusion and let me know if you still find the same problem.

Verifying build number:

• Help > About
• Look for a number like "2.0.8XXX" in the about box.
• Current build is 2.0.8749

Updating Fusion 360:

1. Start or restart Fusion
2. Look at the Job status icon (the small clock in the top bar)
3. If an update is downloading a small 1 appears on the clock.
4. Click to see progress and restart message when it's done.
