Vx - Smart Versioning Parameter

Win64, English

I Like To Make Stuff
This add-in automatically creates and maintains a version_number parameter in your Autodesk® Fusion® designs. The parameter updates every time you save your file, keeping track of your design version.

General Usage Instructions

For New Files:

  1. Create a new design - the parameter starts at v0
  2. First save - parameter updates to v1
  3. Second save - parameter updates to v2
  4. And so on...

 

For Existing Files:

  1. Open an existing file - the parameter is created with the current version number
  2. Each save increments the version number automatically

 

Using the Version Number Parameter

Once installed, you can use the version_number parameter anywhere in Autodesk® Fusion®:

  • In Title Blocks: Add it to your drawing templates
  • In Text: Reference it in notes or annotations
  • In File Names: Use it in naming conventions
  • In BOM: Include it in parts lists

 

To insert the parameter in text, type: <version_number> or use the parameter picker.
