Step 1: Create a new project
Open Fusion, create a new project and name it "The CAM Factory".
Step 2: Granting access to the new project
Navigate to your Fusion account in the web browser.
Navigate to the admin panel.
Select Members and Roles and invite "Chris@thecamfactory.com"
Step 3: Setting user roles
Staying on the current page, set the role to "Team Member".
NOTE: Autodesk has recently made changes to the Members and Roles terminology and access levels. If you are using a version that has a "Manager" role, you must choose Manager in place of Team Member.
The CAM Factory will now have access to this project with the proper permissions to program parts and access tool libraries on the cloud.
Step 4: Tool libraries on the cloud
In order for us to access your tool libraries, they need to be located on the cloud. Let's be sure you have cloud libraries enabled.
Go to account preferences, located within the user icon in the upper right corner of the Fusion app.
Click Manufacture and then check the box next to "Enable Cloud Libraries".
Check if the tool library we will be using to program your parts is currently available on the cloud.
If you need additional help importing a tool library to the cloud, please
visit this help page from Autodesk.Step 5: Fixture components
Create a folder in The CAM Factory project folder and name it "CAM Resources".
Move copies of your fixturing hardware to this folder. This will include any digital copies of your manufacturing equipment that you have available for programming. For example:
- Vises
- Soft jaw blanks
- Fixture plates
We appreciate the time you've spent properly setting up the Fusion environment for us. These organizational steps enable us to work efficiently and deliver the best results for your shop.
