Unable to open file

Software Fusion 360 - CAD
1

I have a file that I edited on the PC I have at my crossfire, all good, it opens and closes. But when I try to open it on my desktop, Fusion says “Unable to open” and it suggests some useless stuff. How do I get my plasma table PD (running windows 11) to properly update the file to the cloud so I can open it with my desktop (windows 10).

And, the file is showing up in the data panel on both machines. No obvious issues. I tried caching it locally, but no effect. Can I not work locally on the hobby version?

What kind of file are you opening?

If it’s a DXF or SVG my preference is to use the insert tool in fusion 360 instead of opening the file.

Here’s a nice walk through that

No, a native file.

I did some digging a realized it’s a Fusion 360 version problem. Apparently my desktop is not updating (and my plasma computer is) and has not for quite a while. Now I have to figure out why. I think an uninstall/install is in my future.

Okay, uninstall reinstall got me up to the latest version. Still no idea if it’s going to update going forward.

Interesting side effect, the 2Dprofile I had for this part was ‘from an old versoin?’ when I tried to post it. Had to delete all of the manufacturing and start over. Hmmm

It wasn’t the file, it was the fact that my desktop version of Fusion wasn’t updating.
