Changing projects within Fusion 360 can be a straightforward process if you follow the right steps. Here’s a detailed guide on how to manage your projects effectively, move files, and collaborate with others in Fusion 360.
Moving Individual Files Between Projects
Access the Data Panel: Start by expanding the Data Panel located on the left side of the Fusion 360 interface. This panel displays all your projects and files.
Locate Your File: Navigate through the Data Panel to find the specific file you want to move. You can browse through the list or use the search function to expedite your search.
Initiate the Move Action: Once you’ve found the file, right-click on it. A context menu will appear, and from this menu, select the "Move" option.
Choose Destination: A new window will pop up displaying a list of projects available for the destination of the selected file. Select the project you want to move the file to.
- Complete the Move: After selecting the destination project, click on the "Move" button to finalize the action. Your file will now be transferred to the new project location.
Transferring Projects Between Teams
Navigate to the Project: Open Fusion Team via your browser and locate the project you intend to transfer.
Select the Transfer Option: Click on the project to access its options, then look for a dropdown menu usually found in the project’s settings.
Choose Transfer: In the dropdown menu, you will find the "Transfer" option. Click on this to initiate the transfer process.
Select the New Team Hub: Follow the prompts to select the target team hub where the project should be moved. Ensure that you have permissions for both the original and destination teams.
- Confirm the Transfer: Review the details and confirm the transfer. The project will now be available within the selected team hub.
Sharing Projects with Team Members
Open the Project: Begin by navigating to the project you wish to share within the Data Panel.
Manage Roles: Click on the project name to access its settings. Look for the "Manage Roles" option.
Add Team Members: Within the roles section, you can invite team members by entering their email addresses. Assign them the appropriate permissions, such as Project Viewer, Project Member, or Project Admin.
Share Project Links: If you prefer to share files directly, right-click on any design file within the project, and select the option to "Share Public Link." This generates a link that can be shared with anyone.
- Save Changes: Ensure you save any changes made to team access and permissions before closing the project settings.
