Hi guys!  

 

I just tried out the Traceparts integration.  Nice idea, but still some work to do in order to get it helpful.   After some wrestling I got as far as the attached picture.  Couple of observations:

 

1. The <download> -button will not be visible until the user drags  the traceparts window quite a bit wider than the default.  For a new user this is a major problem as a hope of convenient downloading of a components is the thing that brought him here on the first place.

2. Please allow more flexible search!  Try searching for instance "ISO4762 M6".  Nothing is found!! The user first needs to find an exact product code or designation, then come back to the search to find it in integrated Fusion window.

3. Once the component is found and the user click the <download> -button, the attached pop up appears.  The pop up asks to select a CAD format.  Now - how does the user select the cad format at this step?  There is no control visible to allow him to do the selection.  How is this supposed to happen?   I am literally stuck at this point!  Maybe there is some other route to the download decision where the user can select the CAD format.  I would think in Fusion 360 integrated service, the CAD format would not need to be asked at all, but just give the F360 format without asking anything - or as a default if the selection needs to be offered.
