    I'm having some trouble with open builds cam. This has to be an incredibly stupid question, but here it is. How do i move parts around in opens builds cam? I would have thought simply dragging the parts around would work but it doesn't allow me to move parts at all. I'm using fusion 360 to model my parts. I model everything around the center and my parts load into the cam in the same position. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

    I can't help with the Open builds cam question, but why are you not using the cam functions (manufacturing) of Fusion?
    Alex.

    PS that was a genuine question - not a suggestion that you are doing things wrong.

    Thank you! Do the Cam functions on fusion work well?

    Yes they do - like anything to do with Fusion there is a learning curve, but I mostly use Fusion and like it because (for the simple jobs I do) I can do everything in the one programme.
