However, after the one side was patterned, I copied all four over to the other side, without using the mirror command. I’ve also gone ahead and patterned the side and end boards. The second option would be to use the move/copy command. As you’ll see in my timeline, I’ve patterned the first bottom board to create the other 5. The first option would be to use one of the pattern features. There are two main ways to create copies for them to properly show up in a Parts List. In the browser, you’ll also see that I have 6 instances, as each component is numbered after the component name. Looking at the model in the canvas window, you’ll see that I have 6 instances of the bottom board. For example, let’s take a look at the bottom boards of my design.

The second important detail is to make sure you have a copy of the component for each instance of the same part. The Parts List feature in the 2D Drawing environment will only pull components, so if your file simply has bodies, then you’ll need to create components from those bodies. You’ll see that I have a component for each of the Angle Iron legs, the side boards, end boards, and so on. So let’s first discuss a few key details that your file will need in preparation for creating the parts list.įirst and foremost, you’ll want to make sure that each individual part was built with a component. This demo file will only be available to my Patreon supporters. I’m going to use this Cedar Planter Box model, which was a project that I built a while back.

To start, you’ll need to open your desired file. Creating a parts list can help you save time and money when it comes to building out your projects. However, if you’re not into woodworking, rest assured, there will be plenty of tips and tricks that you can utilize. This tutorial is geared towards those who utilize Fusion 360 for woodworking projects.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll know how to create a 2D Drawing with a Parts List in Fusion 360.
