      I have just finished a project and moved on to another on which I have considerable time on some designs and saved the STEP files for loading into Fusion 360. I have done this many times previously and used the simulation facility in Fusion to check the toolpaths prior to generating G-Code. I needed to alter a file to correct a couple of small errors but when I selected "simulation" from the menu, all I got was the simulation pane, without the playback panel at the bottom of the screen. Does anybody know if this facility has been removed from the free (non-commercial) version or have I forgotten a vital step?

          Simulation works fine here.

            Hi John

            Just loaded a STEP file into Fusion 360 Hobby and had to go to Manufacturing and complete that before Simulation became available.
            I had previously saved the Model as STEP file that had not been through the Manufacture process so did not expect Simulate to work straight off.

              Thanks for the feedback. I'll try again tomorrow morning having slept on it.

                John you have the F360 screen on "Maximize" click the double box next to the close "X" top right and that will bring back the play commands and progress bar along the bottom as it restores the screen down in size

                  Jason,

                  Brilliant! That's exactly what I'd done. As Captain Mainwairing would say, "I wondered when somebody would notice that!"

                  Thanks a bunch , I can get back to pedalling the keyboard again, now.

                  John
