Solved: Not pulling sketch into new drawing

rikinn55 · ‎11-19-2022

I am using version 2.0.14793 of Fusion 360 under a free license.

Building out an Armoire and was able to create on drawing. Then I want a second drawing, not a second page, and when trying to pull the selected portion of the sketch over the system never display the sketch when placing it on the paper and when I clicked the mouse to set the sketch on the paper a very small square was put on the paper.

I currently have only 1 editable drawing available for edit. Everything else has been changed to read-only. The editable document counter says 1 of 10.

In addition to this problem when ever I open a sketch it opens upside down. Don't know if they are related but they started at the same time.

Suggestions?

Hi,

Please share the file and say which element you want to add.

So I am trying to pull the full armoire into a drawing so I can show the sketch to my friend. If you look at the png of a newly created drawing you will see a small box about two-thirds down the page center-left. That is all I get.

In addition I took a screenshot showing that when I open a sketch everything is upside down.

Also in trying to fix this I uninstalled Fusion 360 and reinstalled but now it says I have a trial version and no the non-commercial license. How do I fix that?

In the video I explain what I think the issue for you is. I will not be attaching the drawing as it will be an F3Z file and I am not sure you want that. You do realize the drawing will be created with phantom lines as that is the way a sketch comes into a drawing.

Thank you. While this didn't directly answer my problem your response helped me figure out what was going on. For some reason the scale was defaulting to 1:1 not say 1:16 or smaller. So I was pulling the sketch into the drawing I just couldn't see it because it was so big. Once I figured that out the sketch part worked fine.
