No "Text" option in shortcuts inside Manufacturing Model's editing environment

[ltomuta]

Edit a defined manufacturing model and start searching for "Text". No usable option is available.

I suspect this has to do with me having the "Text" pinned as a shortcut in the "Design" environment. I notice that there too once pinned the Text toolpath is no longer listed in the shortcut dropdown list.

But in this environment nothing is pinned so Text should be in the available list.

Hi,

model and text are both parts of the design environment where text exists only in sketch mode.

@g-andresen We now have a quasi-modeling workspace in the Manufacture environment called "Manufacturing Models". It does give us a limited segment of modeling tools:

And no, text isn't on the list, but it does seem to me that is an oversight. I'll ask the MFG models team if this is intended

-EDIT-
Confirmed to be an oversite. I've opened a ticket to get Text added into the environment.

Thanks for the update, I am anxiously awaiting the update of F360 to get "Text" included into "Edit Manufacturing Model for Setups" (EMMfS).

Fusion 360 documents suggests that Soft Jaws and other Work Holders should be created with EMMfS,  embossing them with things like Part Number and Revision information would be a great help for Tool-Room Inventory Management.  If I understand correctly, embossing/marking can only be done as an external process of EMMfS.   Thanks.

Please note that adding text does work in manufacturing model already. Add
a sketch and in it, add text.

The scenario discussed here is about accessing Text directly after entering
model's edit mode, without creating a sketch for it first.

It's on the radar, being worked on currently. It was an oversight when the toolbar/menu was cloned over

Thank you all for reporting this. It has been addressed and will be available in the next update.
