Just go directly to the site and upload an exported obj file: https://efonlinev3.exactflat.com/
Attempting to contact ExactFlat support online gives the following error:
"Unable to send email. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists."
I'm guessing this add-in is abandoned. Installation doesn't work on mac, there's no instructions to fit, or indication that anything will change.
When I hit the button "publish pieces" i get the following error: "Panel command created failed:

When I press the "publish Pieces" button, I get the following error and it does not work, is there a solution?
It used to work before, but probably stopped working after the Fusion360 update.
The version is "Fusion 360 2.0.15995 x86_64"
OS is "Windows 11 Home 22H2"

I get the same error on mac, so this must be a universal issue for everybody...
Likewise, exact same error. Would love to see a solution..
Same error here, Win10 22H2 Fusion 360 2.0.16490 x86_64
Its tools are useful.
How did you use it? I want to know
My entire CAD life I have been looking for something that can do this! Yes!
A little steep for use with a bunch of high school kids, hopefully they figure out their own way

If the price is too much... A poor man's alternative is to export as obj or stl and use either Headus UV Layout or Rizom UV to unwrap the pieces. The workflow is similar, you mark seams then unwrap. Both UV applications can display a heatmap for polygon distortion so you can add cuts to flatten the pieces to an acceptable tolerance. Nowhere near as accurate but for most projects it is enough.
Works perfect. if you are using a mac you have to use google chrome as safari will not display the graphics.
