If you open the Model and EXPORT a stp file to your computer and save under another name then IMPORT new named stp file it may show the original sketches, if not with the model loaded you can generate any number of new drawings from the model.

Click the icon at the far top left which is a group of squares, this will open all your projects and show which are read only and which are editable, just change them around so you can edit the one you want.

NOTE that if you use features that are no longer accessable in the free version such as "steep & shallow" you won't be able to edit those and you will also have to split the code up for each tool if you had cone the CAM with more than one.

Not good to export and reimport as that only brings the part back and you have to do the CAM all over again.

If you can't edit a file losing the CAM by Exporting and Importing is a small price to pay, as you say Jason only 10 minutes to do the CAM from the model.

File-count limit:

I used Fusion 360 for only a few months and no longer have the exercises I created; but I did find you can save your drawings locally rather on Fusion's on-line server, its default setting.

That low limit didn't apply at the time, as far as I know; but if the location-option still exists would local saving get round the limit?

Is it possible to use Fusion off-line (with local drawing files)?

I see. I think it offered that joint-working approach to professional users when I sampled it, oh, a good 5 or 6 years ago now. Long time in computing years. Ah well, it was just a thought!

So effectively Fusion holds your drawings whether you know or give permission. It's difficult to see how Fusion attracts the commercial customers it is really after, given that glaring security hazard and the increasingly poor security of the Internet generally.

When I was trying it, I described it to the manager of our works IT section, who were charged with heavy security responsibilities.

When I said I could not imagine the design office in a company like ours using a CAD system that defaulted everything to the Internet, he laughed, and agreed wholeheartedly.

It's such a shame for us hobbyists that Fusion is now so limited but I have continued to use it without too much detriment to what I have always used it for. Not sure how many of us in this community were using generative design tools to improve our models. If you are lucky enough to have a .ac.uk email address then you can also get a much more useful license that opens up some of the lost features of Fusion.

At work we use the Autodesk products FeatureCAM and Inventor. Although they're aimed at the commercial sector I find them a lot less intuitive and far less friendly to use. Have tried to import designs from Fusion to FeatureCAM several times and never successful.
