Fusion 360 McMaster-Carr Library Corrupted

Hello,

 

I was recently designing a product on Fusion with the aid of the McMaster-Carr Catalog under the insert tab. Everything was working perfect until mid way through when I tried uploading simple items ie, nuts, bolts, washers from the extension when it started giving random components that were not remotely similar to the ones I attempted to select. I tried selecting the same bolt 3 times and got 3 completely different components from the 3D Step file import. It has done this for every single component that I have attempted to upload since then. I restarted Fusion and closed out of it several times to no avail. 

 

Is there anyway I can address this issue?

 

Regards,

 

WB

I am having the same problem. The Import from McMaster feature is currently useless.

 

I have tried searching for specific McMaster numbers vs browsing to the parts manually. Same result either way.

 

I've tried downloading different file formats. Each file format for a given part yields a different model. A 92865A256 bolt will insert as:

.SAT - Component name "92865A256_Medium-Strength Grade 5 Steel Hex Head Screw" but the model is some L-shaped extrusion type piece
.STEP - Component name "95133A540_Nylon Slotted Flat Head Screws" and the model does look like a flat head screw. Closer, bust still not a hex head bolt.

.STEP with no threads - Component name "1675A1_Push-to-Close Latch" and this indeed looks like a latch.

 

I restarted Fusion360, same issue.

 

I restarted my computer, same issue.

 

Repeated insertions seem to consistently insert the same wrong model, so it's not just bringing in random models, but each download link has been "reassigned" to a different model in some sense.

 

The one thing I tried that works is downloading direct from McMaster in Chrome. This gives the right model, but really makes for a slower workflow. But at least that means that the issue is in the integration between the two and not on McMaster's end.

 

Hopefully that investigation helps reproduce the issue. Please fix this promptly, I have a lot of McMaster parts to add to my model!!
