Unable to change projects from editable to read only

[AUS_Gavin_Clarke]

Hello,

I had a computer failure and loaded Fusion onto a new computer.

I no longer have the ability to change a project from Editable to read only. The drop down menu is missing.

Running Fusion 2.0.18961 x86_64.

Thanks for posting this question. I'm trying to reproduce the effect and cannot. Can you please post a video or screen shot to show me what you are seeing? Thanks.

I have a similar issue in version 2.0.19440.

The read-only option is grayed out.

Try clicking it

Hello;

I am not the original poster but this is how it looks for me:

I am on 2.0.19941 x86_64

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

You have a different question I think.

None of those designs are marked read only, or editable. You seem to have a commercial account, a student account, or a trial account. Do you know which kind of account you have?

What are you seeing that indicates files are read only?

[michal_borcin]

I am pretty sure I have a personal account. 

I am missing the dropdown to select which of the documents are editable or read-only to manage the 10 active documents limit.

Thanks!

Thanks. Can you describe or show an image/video of what Fusion is telling you that indicates a file is "read only"? Is it a warning message, or other symbol?

Your account status is also shown in the title bar, as well as the about box. Can you please give a screen shot of these two places?

See how it says "personal (not for commercial use)" you should be able to see that, along with the document counter. Mine is at 7 of 10.

The about box says the account status as well. This is found on the ? Help menu in the upper right.

I think I have found a solution. Logging out of Fusion and signing in; the issue is resolved and I can see document count and dropdown again:

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

thanks for your suggestions. 

In this screenshot you will see that I have a Personal edition; but I cannot see the number of documents; nor the possibility to change the docs to read-only:

I am fairly confident that I've seen that dropdown there previously and I am 100% sure I've seen the document counter before last update.

Any other hints on what to try?

Thank you!

I had the issue where the editable/read only drop down was completely gone, none of the above worked for me.

For me, the reason that this broke was because for some reason Autodesk gave me the full version for free... for a limited time. if this was intentional I'm guessing it was so that they hope I will get used to the better features and want to come back when it expired. it happened randomly one day when I logged on and realized that the document limit was gone (I took as much advantage of it as I could for a time lol). however, the issue is that when that full version expires, Autodesk WILL NOT automatically roll you back to the free version that you were on before, you will be stuck on an expired license. You can tell if this happened to you by looking at the top left corner of your screen and seeing if it says "expired" somewhere on there.

You will need to go to your Autodesk account online and "re-download" the free/for personal use version. You (probably) don't have to actually run this installer, but now in their system system you have registered for a personal use license, instead of an expired full license, so now if you follow the other steps some people have mentioned (update, log out/log in, clear cache, etc.) one of those should get the editable/read only drop down back.
