Hi, Matt. Did something change in Fusion360 in 2020? - In my case, a SolidWorks assembly files uploads alone with an error. Also, when I upload the assembly file along with the reference part, Fusionj360 doesn't recognize them as reference part. Rather, the app considers them individual files and they only open in browser.

Hi Lars, Thanks again for a great lesson! Have a great day.

[@kevalinopicks5555]

Wow - Fusion is one clever package - especially in your hands!

[@ekremtok1192]

Good day Lars thank you for the lecture. Thats great.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Lars, there's a refreshing commonality to your videos. You give a lot of thought pre-record to making your content complete (i.e. you're not winging it and coming up with what to say on the fly). Thanks for the 10 min break and new skill knowledge, now I have to get back to work.

You are so very welcome 👍😊Thank you for watching and commenting

Nice trick Thanks for sharing👍😀

Thank you so much sir.

[@anne-clairepetre5029]

Thanks for this video. Worked great to import my file. I need to flip my model (somehow it was imported the wrong way around) but can't work out how to. Sorry quite new to Fusion. Any ideas?

[@Esti.duPreez]

Hi Matt, I have done all this and its working really well. my only thing now is saving the parts out and keeping it linked to the original assembly. Is this possible

[@jenspetersen5865]

Great video - I have problems with bringing in STEP assemblies and creating separate part files from them. Ex. in a machine design we would use the same component in several machines. The natural thing is like here, to bring the assembly in, and work from there. Lets say in your file here that the clamps that you imported from SolidWorks needed to go into a work holding library (or it was ex a pallet system that needed to be in the same position for all the products you make); then how do you do that? In our other CAD system (Alibre) we get discrete files in, and can replace components, but as far as I know we cannot in Fusion.

[@Festivejelly]

If you're wondering no you cant edit the design table. But you can manually edit the parts.

[@Amir-ko5fk]

Great video. Can you explain to as how can we export Mate does we create in Solidworks to Fusion 360 ?.

[@101lager]

Every file I try to import just opens the web browser, and also doesn't ask for referenced files when importing assemblies, what could be the issue?

[@mordinkainen1844]

Thanks Lars!

You are so very welcome 👍😊

Nice one lars, greet video

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you 👍😊

[@jamesmcgarry8129]

have you or could you do a video on importing a SolidWorks file into fusion 360 CAM and then programming the part into code?

[@jpthedelawarebeeman7887]

I printed out the Tap wrench and using it lol. I am going to design a die handle now and print that and use it with a 1mmx1.25 die to clean the threads up on some 3d printed parts. Thanks Lars

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing 👍😊

[@williambilang910]

If i edit solid from solidworks with fusion 360, how can i send it back from fusion 360 to solidworks?

[@SergiyGryb]

Second try, just to be sure Lars has seen it: Hi Lars! Please, make a video on how to handle warnings and errors. It happens that you have been developing a complex assembly, then change something altering early created sketches and, voila, you get multiple errors and warnings... How to tackle with them? Thank you!

[@cadcamstuff]

Hope this is helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIu3oX-gbdGsr68

[@jedisgarage4775]

I did uploaded .sldprt file to my library in fusion but it is kinda inactive, every time I try to open it, it opens in web browser not in fusion... what I am doing wrong here?

[@FirstTry379]

I cannot find a video from you or anyone on how to modify an skp file from Sketchup in Fusion 360. I imported it the way you show in this video. When it comes in it is pink in color. When you imported your Solidworks file it looked normal. Did I forget anything? How can I fix this?

[@randulina1174]

Is some kind of re-featuring also possible with parts and/or assemblies from out of SolidWorks? For solids and for surfaces?

[@graffiti73]

Nice, glad to see you're doing well. one comment though, the outro music volume is little high compared to your voice during the video. Other than that no complaints, excellent content and I'm always looking forward to your videos!👍

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for watching 👍😊 I promise I will adjust volume on the next round of videos

want to load stl file into fusion 360 then one click make it a single body so that i can add or remove material to my own design

Hi. When I upload Solidworks file into Fusion 360 and double click on it, it automaticly opens in my internet browser in a new tab, on Fusion 360 website. Anyone knows why, and how do I open it in Fusion 360 program?

[@iggymach]

Same here. However I have only uploaded the .sldprt file as I do not have the .sldasm.

[@ColinWatters]

I believe you cant do this if you only have the free version of Fusion 360. I have same problem.

[@brianlangley7412]

Another great learning tool! When you first imported the Solidworks file you said to import the other files you knew where associated with the model. How did you know which ones were associated?

[@cadcamstuff]

Well, you don’t. But generally when you receive a file from a customer, you only receive the files need. The folder you saw was a mess of my own doing 😁

[@brianlangley7412]

@@cadcamstuff ah Grasshopper now all makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

[@jp3419292]

When I double click onto the uploaded file in my library as you explained , what I have - is only how Fusion transfers me into the online viewer of this model in my online account(( Not able to open this sldprt file in the program anyway...

@@cpassuel9857 woah, that's crazy. So there is no way to modify files you import with the free version? You can only create files from scratch!?

Is the nester add-in still the best way to nest sheet metal parts for machining? Or is there something integrated in Fusion nowadays? I can't even find nester in the F360 app store so I assumed there was a reason

[@cadcamstuff]

There are no incorporated nesting at this point. I have to admit that I have never looked at the add-in section for one, so I’m not sure. I would think nesting will be in the future of fusion(I’m far removed from those decisions) as the technology is in Inventor and therefore in the Autodesk’s hands.

[@KalebQi]

@@cadcamstuff Oh okay that would be cool to see an easy way to layout unfolded sheet metal side by side to figure out what size of stock I need to order. I'm actually not even sure how I would go about unfolding all the sheet metal and see it together.

So itll let me upload the solidwork file but then when I try to open it, it opens it in my web browser ive tried to then save to my computer from brower with the desktop connector but then when it finally opens the file it tells me to open in data panel again please help

I'm having the same issue, supposedly the functionality was removed from the free version: forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/issue-opening-sldasm-sldprt-files/td-p/9174593

[@kyzitemelos]

Holy s$%^ you're the f$%@ing man!

[@criznach]

I ran into this yesterday. I have a giant folder of parts and assemblies, including an entire library of thousands of parts from a vendor. The files I need to open only use a few, but I do not have SolidWorks to see which ones. Opening one of the assemblies in Fusion as you did tells me to also upload the required files. I have no idea which files are needed, and I'm not prepared to upload gigabytes of data and thousands of files through Fusion. Any solution?

[@cadcamstuff]

If you look in the windows folder can you see when the files were last modified and group them that way?

[@criznach]

Thanks @@cadcamstuff That's a good idea, but I downloaded a zip from Google Drive, so I don't think I'm seeing correct modification dates. They all have the same date.

[@saibharatDSB]

Sir, can't we import a sketch file from solidworks to fusion 360?

No. You will have to save it as a dxf and bring it in that way

Futile if you are using the free , learning edition of Fusion 360. don't even bother.

[@cadcamstuff]

You can download the 30 trial if you want to use this function :-) But, yes. Import of SolidWorks files is only an option in the $495 version of Fusion 360

[@nicholascroglio1644]

This is false advertising as fusion 360 is able to modify Solidworks files. Instead it is importing them to a different format, and then modifying this new format without the ability to resave them as Solidworks files.
