Solved: separating two components in one sketch so that they are individually accessible

dinkydi63

I have sketched three items separately on one sketch and wish to be able to manipulate each one individually. How do I do that? currently when I try to bring up one all come up and unable to print them separately.

Thank you

Actually, what I wish to do is export items that are in the one sketch .There are three components and I want to export them individually.

Thanks

Hi,

1. create a screencast and describe what you want to do with which element

2. Please share the file for reply.

File > export > save as f3d on local drive > attach to post

Hi Gunther,

As I only have Fusion Personal I do not get the facility to save as f3d, only f3z, f3mf and fbx ??

Any suggestions as to what to do? Can send screen shot if that would assist!

Thank you

George

Hi,

If you break links (chain symbol) export of f3d becomes possible

Hi Gunther,

Not sure if this is how you want it!!

I have had another shot at it by including everything in the one sketch but got totally confused !!

Unfortunately as an 87 year old I am not as quick as I used to be!!!

Hi,

I have joined the basic sketch to the origin and defined it.
You can follow these and other steps in the screencast and in the timeline of the attached file.
Note, for example, that you can add or change features before the mirror and that this then applies to all instances.

GOODNESS ME!!

That is most impressive! Took me an hour to do half of what you did!!

Thank you yet again I must have a few more tries!!

Danke schon, Gunther, I apologise for the lack of an umlaut but cannot find one on my keyboard!!

Gunther, I note the number of bodies that form in your video, can each item such as base, arm, joiner etc be individually extracted . That is, exported as stl files for printing? I seem to only have one unit when I draw it, so cannot separate the various pieces!! I do not seem to have any more than 1 body!!
