Start Fusion and the Fusion web client

The two tools you need for working on Fusion projects are:

• The Fusion application: for creating and working on designs and drawings.
• The Fusion web client: for Fusion data management, such as working with permissions, projects, and hubs.

To use either of these, you need to have received an invitation as described in Your Autodesk account. This topic describes how to access and download (if applicable) these tools through your Autodesk account.

Access your Autodesk account

1. Navigate to https://manage.autodesk.com.
2. Sign in to your Autodesk Account.
3. From the menu on the left, select All Products & Services.

Find, install, and start Fusion

1. In the Products & Services list, find Fusion.

   

2. Click Download.

   Note: The download should start automatically. A Save As dialog displays and prompt you to save the *.exe file to your computer. In some environments, you may need to use the admin *.exe installer.

3. Once installed, start Fusion; if you are doing this for the first time, you may need to sign into your Autodesk account again.

4. Optional: Follow the instructions to customize your Fusion environment if prompted.

   For example, your prime activity in Fusion might be design. After following the customization prompts, Fusion will show design-related shortcuts to workflows or blogs in the My Fusion page. The My Fusion page is found in the Home tab.

   Once installation and setup are finished, Fusion opens.

   

Find and open the Fusion web client

1. In the Autodesk account page, under Products & Services, find Fusion - Team.

   

2. Click Access to open the Fusion web client.

   Alternatively, go to https://www.autodesk.com/fusion-team and sign in.

3. If this is your first time opening the Fusion web client, you may need to follow prompts to select the hub you will be working in.

   Note: If no hubs are available, work with your administrator or Autodesk to get one set up for you.

   The Fusion web client opens on the projects page.
