Monterey OS - changed drop downs to access hidden Libraries

I have to rant that I have never gained anything from upgrading my OS and have always had to relearn basic things.  That said I and trying to get Fusion 360 to showup in applications folder and my dock.  Went to Google - found autodesk instructions however in the path I don't have /weddeploy/ showing up.  I bet the OS change had something to do with this.

 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Solution:
To find and launch Fusion 360:
  1. Enable hidden libraries. See How to access a hidden Library folder on macOS.
  2. Follow the file path: Library/Application Support/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/<numerical code>/Autodesk Fusion 360.
  3. Open Fusion 360.
  4. Right click the icon in the Dock and select "Keep in Dock".

Hi @tpaccioretti,

 

Fusion 360 installs at the user level - you might be checking in the system Application folder. Linking directly to the .app in the /webdeploy/ directory is unreliable, because the file and containing directory path change with each update. The "applications" in the user Application folder are actually scripts routing to the latest installed version, and these are what you should be able to pin in your dock (and what are indexed by Spotlight).
