Import Fusion 360 files

[RGW]

I am converting all from Fusion 360 to Alibre. Is there a way to import Fusion 360 files into Alibre so I don't have to redraw all my work?

If F-360 exports STEP or IGES files that would be a way of getting them into Alibre.
They won't come it with any history though.

Ok, I can import the STEP model but it won't let me make a drawing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you SAVE the part after importing it? Alibre won't let you create a drawing of a part, native or imported, until it is saved. It should have given notice if that is the case.

Duh.
Thanks.

I'm also attempting to convert Fusion 360 files over to Alibre.

The Good: Model files are coming in fine regardless of the file format I use.

The Bad: The problem I'm having is when I export the F-360 file as .dwg then open them with Alibre, most everything appears to show up except the model views themselves. I've tried checking different Layers boxes, saving files, etc. It's like the reference to the model is missing, but I don't see a way to reassociate a model with a drawing or replace a model reference within a drawing in Alibre.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please or am I going to have to redraw all of my customers' files? Screenshot of model and imported .dwg with missing views attached. Thank you!
