Exporting a PDF

00:02

In this video, will export to a pdf.

00:06

After completing this step, you'll be able to use output pdf and create a drawing share link.

00:13

In fusion 360, we want to carry on with our coupler for production drawing.

00:17

We've added a lot of notes details to our detailed drawing and at this point it's time for us to export it.

00:24

Now, I will say we didn't completely go through and add all the details required of a detailed drawing.

00:29

We simply touched on all the elements that are required such as dimensions, geometry, symbols and texts.

00:36

So from here, what we want to do is we want to figure out how to add those final details to our title block and export this to a pdf.

00:44

In the title block we can double click on it which will open up our title block properties.

00:49

This will give us access to attributes and we can simply select these attributes and enter their values.

00:56

Document type, and I'm going to call this prototype.

01:00

Drawing number, 1001.

01:04

Revision, A.

01:07

Date of issue, 5-5-21.

01:12

And all of these different parameters or attributes can be entered,

01:16

And then we can finish the properties and now they're inside of our detailed drawing.

01:20

From here, we're going to make a quick last save and then we're going to select export. Notice that we have four different options.

01:28

We can do a pdf, a .dwg, a dxf or a csv.

01:33

I should note that the csv option is only available for tables in a detailed drawing of which we don't have any.

01:40

So we're going to select export pdf, we can select all sheets, we can export the line weights and we can open the pdf one completed.

01:49

In this case, our drawing only has a single sheet.

01:52

If you're drawing had more than one sheet, you could select all sheets, specific sheets or only the one that was selected.

01:58

In this case, will simply say all sheets and then we'll save the pdf.

02:03

It automatically opens up and it shows all the information that we created.

02:08

So what other ways can we share our detailed drawing.

02:12

Well, designs can be shared with a share link and detailed drawings can have a share link as well.

02:17

We simply go to our file dropdown and select public link.

02:21

When we go to public link, notice that it has a caution or an information that tells us that it has references to one or more other designs.

02:30

If we share a link to the detailed drawing, it will also be sharing the reference designs.

02:36

So it's important to keep in mind that whenever we're sharing a detailed drawing with a share link,

02:42

that the original design in this case are coupler for production would also be available to anybody who has that share link.

02:51

We could prevent the item from being downloaded.

02:54

We could turn the download option off and send them the share link.

02:57

And then they would only be able to view the items online rather than actually downloading them.

03:02

But this is another great way that we can share the information in our detailed drawing by creating that share link,

03:07

which can be viewable on a web page by anybody.

03:11

At this point, if you made any additional changes, make sure that you do save before moving on.
