Known Issues
There are some known issues and limitations with the Manufacturing Data Model API that may impact the solutions you are building.
Limitations
API Limitations
Here are the limitations for the Manufacturing Data Model API:
- For components with large number of design elements (e.g. 1000+), the API might throw timeout error, but the properties will be added to the component. The added property can be verified using this Task. This issue will be fixed in upcoming releases.
App or Client Limitations
Here are the limitations for third-party apps and clients using Autodesk Fusion software:
- To ensure that custom properties are accessible and visible in Autodesk Fusion, it is recommended to use at least version 2.0.20256 of the software.
- The current version of Autodesk Fusion prevents users from modifying any properties, regardless of whether they are marked as read-only or not. This means that even properties explicitly set to be modifiable (i.e., with the read-only flag set to false) cannot be changed in this version of Autodesk Autodesk Fusion.
- When using save copy as for a sub-component of a design, the custom properties applicable to the selected sub-component will not get copied to the new design. Whereas, when using save copy as for the root component, the custom properties are copied to the new design.
- When exporting or importing design files with custom properties, the custom properties are not exported or imported. This issue will be fixed in upcoming releases.
