SILKSCREEN ( From PCB) Not Showing up in FUSION 360 2D Drawings?

Hi,

 

I have a Board design (in Eagle) which i have pushed to Fusion 360.

 

I can see my 3D Parts and SILK SCREEN and other details correctly in the 3D Modelling environment.

 

I have created a 2D Drawing for this Assembly but some things are not showing up in the drawing.

 

Mainly the SILK SCREEN is not displaying. ( the Canvas's are not showing in the browser list/tree.)

 

Is this supposed to be like this?

 

I need to create 2D Drawing of my boards so I can add important assembly/manufacturing notes as well as a BOM for my suppliers. I also display a 3D view in this drawing , which all my suppliers/manufacturers seem to like!

Its really helpful for quoting.

 

Any ideas how to rectify this issue.

 

Thanks

Anyone?

 

What I have noticed is that the CANVASES that appear in the PCB Component (DESIGN Environment) DO NOT GET TRANSFERRED or SHOW UP in the BROWSER LIST/TREE in the drawing environment. (but the the SKETCHES do for some reason)

 

If these were perhaps "transferred, then they should appear.

 

So it seems that FUSION 360 cannot display the CANVASES in a DRAWING by deliberately not transferring the CANVASES.

 

This is needed.

 

Is there any work arounds?

 

Thanks

Dave M

I've just started evaluating Fusion 360 for our company's ECAD.  Fusion needs to add/allow the silkscreen in drawings.  On that same note, I understand that including the silkscreen canvas as part of a step file export, but there needs to be a way to export the silkscreen image so it can be added as a canvas or decal.  The silkscreen is critical to PCB designs.
