Question on: Autodesk Fusion
[Why cant I draw an arc length when I can in AutoCad?](/discussions/why-cant-i-draw-an-arc-length-when-i-can-in-autocad-ad8b79de-109a-499f-bb6c-5b557b7c364e)

I have asked them about this several times, and apparently it's not very straightforward for them to implement in fusion. I don't know why, since in autocad you can do arc lengths in about ten different ways. You can get around this by making a custom parameter. Search the autodesk forums and you will find a few posts where it is explained.

Question on: Designcenter Solid Edge
[Is there are any way to identify 2 or more identical parts in an assembly .](/discussions/is-there-are-any-way-to-identify-2-or-more-identical-parts-in-an-assembly)

In the balloon, we can know the total quantity of parts. Is there any option to locate all those n numbers of quantities during the time of ballooning?

Yes, you can auto-balloon all occurrences by using the Parts List command as it has an option for that.

By Anonymous Many binary operations are rippers. I invested about $320,000 then i decided to withdraw after several week but the withdrawal wasn't successful, then I tried to contact the binary operation email and phone number, I didn't get any response from them that was when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never hear from them again that was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earn money is gone. After some month I came across a lot of testimonies on many bitcoin site how borsatom320@gmail.com had helped many people recovered there stolen, scammed or duped money on bitcoin or any other form on digital currency. I contact them and they promised to help me get my money back, asked me some personal details of the scammer which I provided. The result was amazing I recovered all my stolen money back within 72 hours I was so

Answered: Natalie Kimberly on March 5, 2022

Yes, there are a couple of ways to do that. The easiest is usually through the assembly structure or parts list, where identical parts will show up with the same name or file reference. You can also use features like “Occurrence Properties” or check part properties to compare them.
