Move and copy designs between projects and hubs

How to move and copy designs between projects and how to move a project to another hub.


00:03

In Fusion, when you move a file or folder from one project to another,

00:08

the content is moved along with any associated comments into the new project.

00:13

The content will no longer be available in the original project.

00:17

In this example, you notice in the Data Panel that this gasket file was accidentally saved in the Test project,

00:24

but it should be in a different project folder.

00:27

Right-click the file and select Move.

00:31

In the Move to dialog, you can select the project and folder where you want the file to reside.

00:37

Depending on your login type and permission level, you will only see projects that are available to you,

00:43

and you may not be able to move files between projects.

00:47

For this example, double-click the Geneva Drive folder to select it.

00:52

Click Move to move the file into that folder.

00:57

If a file includes an externally referenced component, it is possible to lose the reference when the files are moved or copied.

01:05

You need to be careful when moving assemblies with referenced parts from project to project.

01:11

However, if you are moving or copying an assembly within the same team hub, you should be able to do so without breaking the link.

01:19

You can also move entire projects from hub to hub.

01:23

The account in this example has a personal Fusion team hub account as well as access to other team hubs.

01:30

To move a project from your personal hub to a team hub,

01:34

find the project under your personal account, and from the drop-down, select Transfer.

01:40

In the Transfer Project dialog, click Proceed, and then select a Destination Team from the drop-down list of hubs that you can access.

01:49

Click Proceed again, and click Yes to confirm.

01:53

This project is removed from your personal hub and placed into the team hub.

01:59

Be aware though that this is a one-way trip—you cannot copy a project from a team hub back to your personal hub.

02:06

Switch to the destination hub to verify the move.
