In the Autodesk for Beginners thread, I mentioned that I’d signed up for Fusion’s “Personal” license. When trying to use Fusion for the Tormach, I discovered that the Personal version doesn’t support processing NC programs with tool changes (!!!).
I’m a registered student at Austin Community College, so I’m eligible for a free Educational account, so I signed up for one. It took me quite some time to figure out how to transfer my existing projects between accounts. I wanted the full history of the files, which exporting as a .f3z file seems to squash.
In case this comes in handy to someone else…
This is what worked for me:
-
create a “Team” in my Educational account
-
Invite my Personal account to join the team
-
Open the terrible web interface while logged in to the Personal account
-
Make sure that each project uses one of the old permissions schemes, like “Open”, “Closed”, or “Secret”. If your designs are in new “Folder-Level” permission projects, you’ll have to Move all of the files in them to a project with an old permission scheme
-
Move your mouse over the project in the right panel to get these icons to appear, and click the down-caret at the right
-
Select Transfer
-
Transfer to the Team you created in step 1
-
Repeat for all projects you want to transfer
-
Switch to the Team by clicking it in this menu
-
Navigate to a project
-
Select the Project Members tab
-
Invite your Educational user. You get the choice of “Editor” or “Viewer” it doesn’t matter.
-
…because you want to click on the role and change it to “Project Admin”, which isn’t a choice in the Invite box
-
Open Fusion as your Educational account and look at your glorious projects with their histories
