Location of Standard Thread Files

[leslieFRT9A]

Previously I had inserted a custom thread XML file into the threaddata directory of Fusion.  The directory was located here

C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\ac88aa23fc9333f42f22d3810ad75fd3cc5e746a\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration

and it contained all the standard thread files available from the THREAD app in Fusion.

Today I went to that directory but it no longer contains the Thread files I would expect and has only 4 files non of which appear to be the thread files used in the app.

Has the location of Fusion 360 standard thread file changed with new updates and if so can anyone advise where they are now and are they still XML files?

Thanks in advance

Hi @leslieFRT9A,

thanks for posting! I just checked it on my machine and the thread data is located in a different production folder, which I am pasting below:

%localappdata%\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\ce69b5085f183e9fbd0b866247cde236e92ac45c\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

If this directory does not exist or does not contain the *.xml files, could you go to %localappdata%\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\ and search for ThreadData?

Please accept as solution if my post resolves your issue, or reply with additional details if the problem persists.

Best regards,

The thread folder is moved with pretty much every update. When you get to the folder with the long alphanumeric names the newest folder will be the one you're looking for. Adding your own files to the thread data folder is a hack, don't know why they can't finish this feature and have it work like scripts, tool libraries and CAM template where there's a fixed folder for custom data and a hidden folder for the generic data, suppose they'll get around to finishing it oneday.

I have a request here to store the info in the cloud assets folder here.

Thank you to both respondents to my question.  The solutions provided by both of you were correct so I accepted the first received as the accepted solution as I dont believe I can accept both unfortunately.

It is weird how the Threads location keeps changing and then as I have auto update on I loose the ISO Metric Thread file I created with all the threads using maximum tolerances to make them better for 3d printing.

Hopefully I will know how to find them again when next it happens.

The directory was located here

C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\ac88aa23fc9333f42f22d3810ad75fd3cc5e746a\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration

OK I found it. Cheers

Hi,

With thread keeper you can prevent the XML file from disappearing after updates

If you click the link in @g-andresen's post it will take you to the page for the Thread Keeper add-in where all will be explained.
