I have legacy, f360+eagle and ultimate(adn), and can only use it on one pc at a time. Unless i make a second account and then share files to the second account. I'd like to be able to use one account at a time, and occasionally log in on my laptop to check something etc without having to run two accounts and remembering to share everything.

 

would have posted it to feedback, but didnt have permisisons.

This is possible today.

 

Steps:

1. Log user1 into Fusion 360 on machineA.

2. Log user1 into Fusion 360 on machineB.

3. When prompted by the dialog on machineB, suspend the Fusion 360 session on machineA.

4. When done with machineB, use the session management dialog to "check again" and subsequently suspend Fusion 360 on machineB.

 

Here is an article with all the details.

 

Thanks, let me know if you have questions.

That is another work around of sorts, but the key phrase for the request is "same time", not one at a time.  I have multiple seats, would like to use it for the number of seats i have/pay for in the same account when they're assigned to me.

By multiple seats do you mean multiple subscriptions to Fusion 360?

multiple subs, gives you multiple seats which are by default assigned to your accounts email address, if I have more than one sub, which i do, i have multiple seats assigned to me, so it's both.

 

i'm paying twice on one account, i should be able to use it twice on one account without any workarounds.

 

that is basically what i'm asking for.

 

like i might be running a post on my CNC and modelling or such on another PC.

Having two seats means you need two logins. This article explains it all. 

 

Team hubs make it so there is no need to remember to share anything. If the second seat is logged into your hub, it will have full access to all the design data by default as a hub member. Sort of like adding someone to your local network drive, only in the cloud.

I've been playing with the team hub for a while now and one thing for the life of me i can't figure out is how to share posts/tool libraries and machines with the other user in way they can actually use it

 

They appear and are use-able in my first account cloud tool library, they appear in the Team assets/CAMPosts/machines/tools folders on both accounts on the data browser. Both team members appear on the folders.

 

But for the secondary account they don't show up  in any of the places you'd actually use them. 

 

How do you get them from the assets folder to use-able in F360?

To double check a couple things;

1) Do all users have "Enable Cloud Library" turned on in Preferences?

2) Are the assets (Templates, Tool Libraries, Posts) all uploaded to the Team Hub "Assets" folder?

 

 

I run two accounts in my shop; my Autodesk one and my own commercial license. Both of them have access to all the assets, on any computer I log into.

it was 1) set that and a relogin and it worked thanks

 

definitely a lot more work to do it this way versus one account, two licenses but slowly  getting there.

 

cheers
