How do ImacOS and Windows
Vector shows the missing step on your actual design, then does the bounded edit instead of sending you a 14-minute tutorial.
Autodesk Fusion · macOS and Windows
Connect the applications you use. Keep your existing CAD installation and license, and choose where Vector works when both are open.
Autodesk FusionWork on sketches, features, assemblies, and drawings in your existing Fusion designs.
Install Vector, open Fusion, and connect it in Vector’s Integrations. Vector installs its connection for you.
Explore Vector for Fusion
Create and edit native parts, inspect assemblies, and work with drawings through the SOLIDWORKS API.
Connect SOLIDWORKS in Vector’s Integrations. Vector installs the add-in and uses your installed launcher, including 3DEXPERIENCE shortcuts. Complete platform sign-in if prompted.
Explore Vector for SOLIDWORKS01
Vector reads the document you have open in Fusion or SOLIDWORKS: its sketches, features, and assembly structure. Ask questions and make changes in the context of your part.
02
Vector creates and edits native CAD features. Your Fusion timeline or SOLIDWORKS feature tree stays available for you to inspect and edit afterward.
03
Follow the work in the conversation, inspect the result in CAD, and open referenced files directly. Use Fusion, SOLIDWORKS, or both from the same Vector app.
Repair
Failed fillets, broken references, and features that stop rebuilding. Vector inspects the design, traces the problem, and works through the repair in your CAD application.
Fix yellow and red featuresThis plate is full of yellow and red. Start at the first broken feature and clear the cascade.
Fillet10 was the earliest break. I repaired that edge first; the six downstream warnings cleared on recompute. No unresolved red features remain.
Automation
Twenty-six copied blocks become one pattern. Eighteen bodies export as eighteen STEP files with an index. Eleven fabricated parts get eleven drawing sheets.
Pattern the thing you keep copyingThese inside cubes should be a pattern driven by frame length. Don’t copy them again.
Copies are gone. Count and spacing come from the frame length and block size, so stretching the frame updates every instance.
Control
Review the work in the conversation and inspect the result in your model. Tell Vector what to adjust, or keep editing the native features yourself.
Repair downstream after a component swapThe PCB in this battery dock changed. Find every broken reference and repair the unambiguous ones.
Eight references had a single stable replacement and are relinked. Three projected faces are ambiguous. Pick the face for each and I will finish those.
