Something I have noticed of FIRESHARE is there is no option for me to edit projects I have shared.
I have typed out detailed descriptions and buyout lists etc in my projects in a format that is easy to read and fireshare removes my formatting and puts it all in one big paragraph that is difficult to read. I went back to try to edit and make it more understandable but there is no edit option that I can find.

I think they just need to add categories and maybe some sub categories.

I agree. Allowing the poster to edit would be nice. I had to delete and start over.
Also…
Is there any reason why we can’t just upload the Fusion 360 files? I tried it, but the files don’t post.
Seems most people are using Fusion. This would be a real time saver if we want to make alterations.

The Fireshare database is a great resource but there may be some benefit in trying to parse out the categories into functional items or artwork. As is, many of the categories are spammed up with stock art for making signs. That stuff is all helpful and well done, however, as the system grows it may become difficult to find things when there are thousands of stock artwork files.
The “Tools” category is a good example. The first page is largely made up of actual tools and functional parts but then the following pages are almost exclusively just stock artwork that loosely relates to tools and construction equipment. So of the 137 files in the “Tools” section, very few are actual tools. Having an upper level category option for functional items vs artwork would organize the files. You could also add that as a sub category under each existing parent file but that would take longer.
Tools page 1:
Tools page 2 (and pretty much every other page after that)

Search on “size DXF” in the forum and there are some decent write-ups. There’s also a video that Langmuir posted on using external files on the tutorials page, especially #5 & 6.

In Fusion you’ll use the Scale command. Here’s a post I did with pictures & arrows.

There was a T Rex like Dinaosaur skeleton last I looked on FireShare and now I can’t find it.
Hoping to make one for my son, anyone have it that can share?

Think I have it. Pm me to remind me…
Any way to edit a file? I loaded up a .dxf and it doesn’t look right as it downloads.
How many files have been deleted from the file share? Noticed some were missing
Can you put an option to turn your pictures the correct way? All my photos come out sideways in fireshare and no way to fix it………
I do a lot of 3d printing also. I would like to suggest langmuir scan through the website “Thingiverse” for some idea’s on “Fireshare”. Thingiverse (.stl) files download great. I have no problem bringing them into meshmixer to alter and/or repetier to slice into g-code. Searching is extremely easy and has a couple of options for streamling. They have been doing this a long time and might have some pointers.
I use “Design Spark mechanical” for my 3d modeling. 100% free and an awesome C.A.D. program. In case Fusion360 is frustrating you with update complications.

Have you ever considered that there are some people that might enjoy that kind of stuff
NO i did not
When I search for something like “tool” it comes back with multiple pages of results. But when I click to go to the second page, it reloads the first. It seems like it can’t get to subsequent pages of search results. I’ve tried with Firefox browser and Internet Explorer. Thoughts?
