You skipped a step at 0:55, when you switched to manufacturing workspace "manufacturing models" showed up in your design. Where did this come from? Then you right clicked "edit manufacturing model 1", my fusion setup has nothing like this. I know it's been more that 3 months since video was posted, but my setup has nothing like in this video. Please advise, thanks.
I use the align tool to arrange cabinet parts flat for cnc programming. This is definitely way faster, i will give this a try in a few minutes. Thanks for showing this .
Am I correct in thinking that individual components can't be forced to take a certain orientation - for example if you wanted the grain of a plywood sheet running the same direction in all the leg components of the table example?
That’s correct Jim. Orientation is determined automatically by the nesting algorithm for arrange. If you would like more control over component orientation, check out the preview feature “Nesting in Manufacture”
Great Feature. I think I might be missing something so let me describe my scenario. I have a box with 2 long sides and 2 short sides, and a bottom. The joints I would like to use for this are all finger joints created with a Fusion 360 Addin. This works correctly in the Design Work Space...But when I go into the manufacturing workspace and create a manufactured model I box select everything and it will only selects the bottom which is not mirrored and one long side and one short side. I was able to work around it by clicking the individual pieces and selected them but now some of the parts show up below the selected plane.. Second part. Typically if I am doing this on a CNC router you will need dog-bone fillets. I typically use this in the design work-space by using the Dog Bone Fillet tool as an Addin....I am noticing that these tools do not appear in the Manufacture model work space. I think you may have the same issue with these tables unless you accounted for the dog-bone fillets in the design?
Still no simple DXF exporting capabilities for CNC routing. I can design in here all day long as an expert, but I don't have the confidence in building what I design. The arrange is great, but most professional CNC router owners create toolpaths in VCarve and Aspire where we have been nesting (aka arranging) for years. Please give us some simple commands to export the parts in 2D to be able to create what we design. Fusion 360 for many years has focused more on cnc machining than the cnc router, where both should have somewhat equal attention especially in the woodworking industry.
Great video. I'm starting with CNC, I've spent dozens of hours on Fusion so far. I still don't know if it can nest on multiple sheets of ply and add toolpaths with dog bones. Can it? What parametric software actually does this?
@@ravijavia8183 As a commercial license holder, I understand and support this decision. There has to be carrots that encourage users to make the jump to the (relatively inexpensive) commercial license. A feature like Arrange - that can be done manually with Align - is a good choice.
At the end of the video it showed the circle done before the smaller clamps. can you define the operation order to specify the internal parts done before the circle pattern ?
Operation order can be controlled in the toolpath. Currently, the best we have is to use the “Preserve Order” option on the passes tab and select the components in the order you would like them cut. We are working on more advanced control in this area.
I know that's a light-hearted comment but I spend an inordinate amount of time working out registration pin positions to shuffle large workpieces through my small mill. A similarly intelligent tool for that would be much appreciated.

I use Fusion to design my woodworking project. This feature absolutely ROCKS

Let us know how it goes, would be interesting to see.
Good example using the machine bed as the nesting surface directly 👍 6:31

Nice, and when will there be an official dog-bone fillet tool?

Nice feature nicely presented. Thank you!
Looking forward to playing with this :) The plug in I have been using had some minor issues.

If you right click on a sketch you can select to save as dxf
Is there any way to next sheetmetal bending components foraser cutting machine
In which License models are this feature available ?
Arrange is only available in Education, Start-up, and Commercial subscriptions.

Great Video, and a very welcome feature.
Will the arrange command be available to all users...also to those who work with a "for personal use"-licence?
Arrange is only available in Student, Start-up, and Paid subscriptions. It is not available in 'Fusion 360 for Personal Use'.

Dankeschön, sehr geholfen mir!
Fantastic!
As I can see it doesn't work with sheet metal flat pattern.
Good features
Nice!
Disappointing this is not available on the personal license
cool!
Now if only I could double the size of my effective work area :)

maravilloso
Super
