I would also love to have a belt/chain (pulley/sprocket) generator. My only problem with this is that I made a, assembly (component group) and tried to export one of the pieces to make CAM for it, but it did not export correctly, and there was some messed up associations. I understand that there are bodies, components, and component groups, but should I be making a new file for every part, or just every sub-assembly? It seems like Fusion is geared more towards the one-file robot, with all parts in that file. My biggest concern right now is that I don’t understand how to structure what are “assemblies” in Inventor. We want to switch because of the cloud-sharing, integrated CAM (love the waterjet CAM feature), and the direct insert from McMaster button. We are thinking about switching to Fusion360 this year for FRC for a few reasons, but have a few issues with it. It does provide the security of Vault and the Check In / Check Out work flow, but it is a good first step in data management.Īlways glad to see Autodesk’s continual support. In reference to the server, one computer (managed by the CAD manager) can act as the server and the other machines are the clients.Īutodesk A360 is an easier starting point in that it is cloud based and each team member can have their own accounts. If so, is it reasonable to run it off of a workstation? We appreciate your support, and I hope that you could give me a few pointers as to how to get started, thanks.Īutodesk Vault is definitely the best solution for collaboration but does present issues in the school lab or FRC lab environment. Is it possible to use without investing in a server.

Autodesk Vault seems to be an excellent solution… But I am not sure where to start with incorporating it into the team.


I have struggled to find a method of collaborating on inventor projects between different users and workstations. Our team has recently placed a large emphasis on cad and using inventor to bridge the gap between prototypes and design.
