Additional Information
Note: the February 2026 Fusion 360 upgrade now requires that the user choose the correct component type. Previously, a new component part was created which worked with the Add-In. Now, the component must be a 'Hybrid' type (which is the same as the original part before the upgrade).
Therefore, when creating a new component from the "What do you want to design?" dialog, select 'Hybrid' and click, 'Create New'.
For an existing component that isn't a Hybrid type, you can change the XXX Design type by clicking on the edit pencil next to the design node under 'Document Settings'. In the dropdown, choose 'Hybrid' and click 'Convert'.
Known Issues
Timeline Group may not appear: When inserting multiple pulley components, the timeline group for the new component may not appear.
Workaround: Save the design, close it, and reopen the design. The timeline groups will appear normally.
