NoComponentWarn

A Fusion 360 add-in that warns when features are created outside components. It also warns when creating feature across components (It works if the reference feature is selected before creating the new feature).

A warning will be shown every time a new feature is created at the top-level or in the wrong component. At that point, the user can choose to either Cancel, Continue or Stop the warning messages for the current document session.

Supported Platforms

• Windows
• Mac OS

Installation

Download the add-in from the Releases page.

Unpack it into API\AddIns (see How to install an add-in or script in Fusion 360).

Make sure the directory is named NoComponentWarn, with no suffix.

Usage

A warning will be shown every time a new feature is created at the top-level or in the wrong component.

At that point, the following choices are given:

• Cancel (Esc): Cancel the operation
• Continue (Enter): Go through with the operation and create the feature
• Stop warning: Go through with the operation and stop warning for this document for this session.

The add-in can be temporarily disabled using the Scripts and Add-ins dialog. Press Shift+S in Fusion 360™ and go to the Add-Ins tab.
