Now it should work more smoothly. <br><br>Some of you also told us about an issue where the content manager was showing a blank field after you tried to import a package from the web into the device editor or Add Local Package after an import. This is now fixed and the field will appropriately reflect what has been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re running Fusion 360 in German and need to run Electronics Cooling studies, we&#8217;re glad to report that we have resolved a pesky crash issue that was preventing you from running them. Now it works just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We squashed a bug found in the Export Flat Pattern command where exporting a sheet metal flat pattern as a DXF inexplicably left out the TEXT layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you working in the Additive tab of the Manufacture workspace were experiencing crashes when you tried to open a FFF setup, generate toolpath, went over to Simulation, and closed Fusion 360. This is now fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>V.2.0.9442<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fixed an issue where many of you were not able to start Fusion 360 or experienced crashes on machines running macOS with Retina Display. We discovered that this was related to a case-sensitivity issue and have fixed the issue. Fusion 360 should launch without a hitch now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>V.2.0.9440<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard that some of you working in Fusion 360 with your language setting set to German have been experiencing issues saving your designs. Apparently clicking on the OK button in the save dialog did nothing. Sorry about that, someone tripped and accidentally unplugged a wire &#8211; we got this sorted out and now you should save just fine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>V.2.0.9439<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"usabilitynbspnbsp\"><strong>Usability <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#f9971a\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Heads up: we will be ending our support for macOS 10.13 in April 2021.

When running a 2-axis lathe it is common practice to &#8216;deburr&#8217; your threads. Machinists achieve this by using a technique called \u2018Higbee\u2019 or blunt start threading. This process includes taking a flat bottom grooving tool and running it in a threading pattern to remove the first full length of a thread. This is done because usually the first cut of a thread&nbsp;on a taper&nbsp;is not a full pitch width, the Higbee technique removes the material up to&nbsp;the first&nbsp;full thread pitch width.&nbsp;This helps to deburr the thread and prevent cross threading.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique of Higbee\/Blunt Start threading is typically done by deriving the threading operation and changing a few simple settings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-07-at-9.43.42-AM-1024x333.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-07-at-9.43.42-AM-1024x333.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-07-at-9.43.42-AM-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-07-at-9.43.42-AM-768x249.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-07-at-9.43.42-AM.png 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, If you&#8217;re cutting a 2-56 UNC2A thread, you want keep your thread depth and pitch the same for the derived operation.

Fusion Nesting includes integrated, automated, and associative nesting capabilities to optimize the arrangement of flat parts, both sheet metal and non-sheet metal, on flat raw material in preparation for cutting operations. It allows you to generate nests from your Fusion&nbsp;360&nbsp;designs and create toolpaths and&nbsp;NC&nbsp;code to drive your&nbsp;CNC&nbsp;machines \u2013 end-to-end seamless workflow all within Fusion 360. With model changes, related nests become \u201cout-of-sync\u201d and can be updated associatively.&nbsp;<br><br>While the&nbsp;nesting&nbsp;workflow is ideal if your designs are already in Fusion&nbsp;360, we completely understand the need to support DXF files.&nbsp;You can use the new app,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.autodesk.com\/FUSION\/en\/Detail\/Index?id=3146198746757677787\" target=\"_blank\">DXF Import Utility<\/a>&nbsp;available&nbsp;from the Autodesk App Store, to simplify&nbsp;the process&nbsp;of importing your DXF geometry into Fusion&nbsp;360.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fusion 360 Advanced Nesting Extension\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UH3RhTTp30k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>PDX CNC made a great overview video of what it looks like in action. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?contextId=NST-GET-STARTED\" target=\"_blank\">See help documentation<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#f9971a\" class=\"has-inline-color\">New in Preview!<\/span>&nbsp;Delete Passes (Extension&nbsp;Preview&nbsp;Feature)<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><em>Preferences &gt;&nbsp; Preview &gt; Manufacture &gt; Delete Passes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15852\" width=\"573\" height=\"87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-2.png 966w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-2-300x46.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-2-768x118.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/DeletePasses.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15851\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This new Toolpath Modification feature makes it easy for you to delete any undesirable passes or segments in their toolpath.
