How to share an Autodesk Fusion Design with others? 

Solution:

See the following methods for sharing a Fusion design:

Export the design

  1. You can create an exported Fusion archive file by exporting an F3D, F3Z (distributed design containing xref's), or F2D file. See How to make a local archive (back-up) file in Fusion and How to export a CAD design from Fusion
  2. To upload a shared file back into Fusion, see this article: How to import or open a file in Autodesk Fusion

Create a Share link

  1. Generate a share link through one of the following methods:
    • Right-click the file in the data panel and click Share Link.                                                     

Data panel

  • The same option can also be found in the File>Share drop-down menu. 

File menu

 

  1. The following dialog box will appear and provide an option to share a design, allow it to be downloaded, or enable password protection. The link can be shared with another within or outside the company domain.

Invite another into the project

  • Another way to share a design is to invite another member to the project. Use the Invite button in the project's Dashboard. Learn more about the Invite command in the Fusion Learning Session.
  • Note: The invitation includes a whole project and not just a single design. Sharing a project with others gives them access to all designs in that project.
