Inventor Fusion Free
Lane Frisch
I just started working with 3D stuff and when I select and extrusion that's not able to be edited in standard AutoCad. I am using 2013 and the inventor fusion is also 2013. I see the program in my start menu but even when I run it as an administrator nothing happens....it brings up the dialog box asking if it's okay to make changes, I hit yes, and then nothing. no error, and the program doesn't open.
Inventor Fusion 2013 has been retired for 6 years now and its now called Fusion 360.. Do you have access to regular Inventor? In addition Windows updates may have made this product not work anymore on your machine. The dialog you're seeing is the Windows UAC control. Can you change that to never notify? What about your anti-virus? Can you disable that and see if the product works.
Neither of these files must be converted to STEP before being imported to Fusion! They must, however, undergo the cloud translation process by being uploaded through the Fusion 360 Data Panel. You can learn more about how to upload a design to the data panel in this article.
Inventor assemblies (.IAM files) are also uploaded through the data panel, but you must ensure that all linked designs are also uploaded simultaneously. To do so I would recommend using a Pack and Go from Inventor - you can learn more about the Pack and Go > Upload process in this article.
This doesn't work for me. I still can't figure out how to open IPT files in Fusion 360. I tried to upload the IPT file through the Data Panel. I can see the file name listed. However, if I double click the file in the list, it opens a webpage where I only have the open to download it as an IPT file. If I go to to the "file open" dialog box, and go to the project folder that the Data Panel says the file is located, I do not see the file, so I cannot open it.
not being able to open IPT files has rendered fusion useless to me. it was a handy converter to have as I 3D print things for myself that often come in IPT format.. thanks autodesk for removing the one and only useful thing in fusion. I guess it's back to piracy.
Piracy is the result of software giving users no other avenue - You can pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to open that 'special' format file - or you can download something, use it, then delete it when done.. Since most of the time all that is required is to covert a file to a universal format like STEP / XT and so on.
does anybody know whether files through "cloud translation" are being saved in the cloud? I work on confidential projects and would have liked to try out the feature. But it's a no go for me, if confidential data remains somewhere in the deep universe of Autodesk servers...

The Product Design and Manufacturing Collection has allowed many customers to have a cost-effective licencing bundle that gives users access to multiple products to aid in their designing and manufacturing workflow. Both Fusion 360 and Inventor Professional are included in this licence and can be used in conjunction with one another, but many people are not aware of this functionality.
To open files saved in the Fusion 360 drive into Inventor, all a user must do is open these files from within the Inventor application by selecting open on the home page and select the Fusion 360 drive, then select the relevant Fusion team, then select the appropriate folder. It is essential to choose All Files in the browser dropdown, or it will only show you .ipt or .iam files and hide any Fusion Design files.
Then once a file has been selected, the user can convert this file to an Inventor model file and select which options they require regarding object filters and Part and Assembly Options. They can also change the name or location of the file at this point if they want to. This will create a native inventor file from which they can create a drawing view or continue to model In Inventor. This could then be added to the vault if users wanted to have saved files in here, although it is worth noting that this is now a separate file from the Fusion Design file we started with so many updates in Inventor would not be linked to the Fusion Team unless the file is saved in this drive.
One of the key reasons to use Fusion 360 in conjunction with Inventor would be to utilise the functions in Fusion 360 that are not offered in Inventor. In the latest release of Inventor 2023, Autodesk has made it simpler for users to put this into practice, as there is now a built-in Ribbon to allow file sharing to Fusion 360 from within the Inventor design space. To transfer a file created in Inventor into Fusion 360, all you need to do is navigate to the Fusion 360 tab on the Inventor 2023 ribbon, and this allows the user to select which area of Fusion 360 they intend to use the file in.
In this example, I have used the additive manufacturing method and managed to get the weight of the part down from 486g to only 168g whilst retaining the original material. I was also able to compare the benefits of different materials, manufacturing methods and designs to suit the needs of my design. This could be an incredible tool to test and develop designs you may not be currently utilising because of a historical preference to Inventor.

In this tutorial, you will create an app that allows people to enter food orders for a pizza party. Orders are stored in a Fusion Table, providing one easy-to-access place for the data. By reading from the table, the app can easily display the orders that have been entered.
A Fusion Table is a Google service to support the gathering, managing, sharing, and visualizing of data. Data is stored in Google's cloud. All of the data are stored in a public table (or tables) that can be accessed via Google Drive, and allows different users to add information to the tables.
For example, coupled with a location sensor, an App Inventor app could post periodic updates of each user's location to a public fusion table. Users could post notes to mark noteworthy locations, such as a team of botanists could use a Fusion Table app to create an annotated catalog of the trees or plants within a certain geographical area. See the Google Documentation on Fusion Tables for more information.
This tutorial assumes you are familiar with the basics of App Inventor, including using the Component Designer to build a user interface, and using the Blocks Editor to specify the app's behavior. If you are not familiar with the basics, try stepping through some of the basic tutorials before continuing.
IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE SOURCE CODE you will need to supply your own service account keyfile and email, and your own Table URL and Table ID in the global variables in the blocks editor. This source code will not work without these additions.
Before App Inventor can access any fusion tables you create, you need a special "Service Account Email Address." This special account and its keyfile allows your users to edit your Fusion Tables without logging in- your service account handles all the access. Instructions are here:
Connect to the App Inventor web site and start a new project. Name the new project PizzaParty, set the screen's orientation to Portrait and uncheck the Screen's scrollable property. You may also wish to set the Screen's Title property to something other than 'Screen 1'.
In addition to the FusiontablesControl component, the Pizza Party app makes use of several other types of components. It is assumed that you have learned how to use these in previous tutorials. Use the designer window to create the interface for the Pizza Party. When completed, the designer should look like this:
Open the Blocks Editor so you can program the app's behavior. First, you will describe the app's variables. Variables whose names are ALL_CAPS are constants -- that is, variables whose values do not change while the program is running. It is good to get into the habit of using this naming convention. Define the following variables and give them the initial values shown in the table.
It is important to perform some initialization steps whenever the app is started. These are done in the Screen1.Initialize block. For this app we need to set the initial values for the FusionTable component's service account property (set to global SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL) and the WebViewer component's HomeURL property (set to global TABLE_URL).
