Thanks for all the videos, all the little things such as why it prompts you for new versions when you try to save makes every little move clear for me.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

You're welcome, Jordan. Glad that helped. I have a few more notes on versions on my webpage, here - productdesignonline.com/tips-and-tricks/how-to-save-a-design-file-in-fusion-360/

[@AJWyman1]

thanks Kevin keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Team Wyman Scale Design - Thanks for the kind words... and of course, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Kevin :)

9 minutes in, I thought "wow, this is the first video that I knew all the content". Then the offline cache part showed up and I realized I was wrong. Thanks again for a great video!!!!

[@fortifor5410]

Great!

4:02 this feature saved my day, fusion started bugging and I turned off the computer, last saved version was totally messed up, and I had no way to undo until I saw this:D

[@balkedaquino1268]

is there a prmote function still but just in a new place

One of those 'good to know' videos! one question, when you re in the fusion browser and you mentioned you can delete a file does this mean it will delete all the versions or just the version you opened?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Tesla 5869. I believe it will delete all "versions" that are nested under the same file name. As far as I'm aware, you cannot delete a specific version. For example, you cannot delete only version 2 of 3 of the file. What you can do, however, is "promote" certain versions to be the latest (as outlined in this video). Then, make a copy of the file (promoted version). The copy will then only include that one version (the latest) and you can delete the other (original) file. Cheers, Kevin :)

@@ProductDesignOnline thats also good to know, thanks!

[@wrxsubaru02]

Thanks, but I want to know what happens when you clear cache. I want to clear cache because my fusion keeps crashing, but I dont want to lose settings/preferences or any design versions on my projects. If i clear cache, are all the versions of my saves going to remain in the cloud like I see them in the browser?

[@chitownaa]

Cached files were hidden in view option, thanks, was worried about after subscription and transferring to other CAD software

[@armanp7860]

can we make all the version as one?

[@zip7806]

How do I save Projects to hard drive from my free Demo to use again when I purchase A incense under a different user account?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

You have a few options. First, check to see if you qualify for the free personal use license. If you do decide to get the commerical account, you can upgrade and retain all your existing data as long as you use the same Autodesk login. If for some reason you need or want a different Autodesk login you will have to go to File > Export to individually export each file, saving it to your local hard drive. Check out my video on one of the addins that automates it for you:kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3O7ipxulJ1kncU
