I can't figure out how to open zipped files for VEX Robotics parts.

I can't figure out how to open the zipped files for VEX Robotics parts I got from the Autodesk website on Fusion 360. Is there a button to click? If so, where is it?

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Fusion 360 community!

Thank you for posting.  I imagine those zip files contain Fusion 360 files (the extension is *.f3d).

If so, did you complete to unzip (extract) them to find the Fusion files?

Then you would upload them in data panel of Fusion or go to File menu - New Design From File to read it.

Can you please let me know which web site you downloaded the files?

I tried the above with this web page, unzip the downloaded file by right-clicking it to select "Extract All" in the menu,

and then I open some of the files in Fusion 360.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

I did all of this but when I went to right-click it to export all the files it would only let me export one file at a time

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the Fusion community!

When you said "exporting all the files", did you mean that you tried to export an assembly from Fusion?  In order to get a better understanding, can you please share more information about this?  It would be very helpful if you shared in some screenshots or Screencast!

Thank you.
