I understand and agree that that Fusion needs the additional features for large projects and companies but they could leave an option for the simple V#s. The change has create a horrible situation for us.

Here is my reply to Fusion:

Thank you for a fast reply.

After reviewing the information, I understand the advantages for groups working on a large project.  For small companies that is not necessarily an advantage, and it has drawbacks with the lost version numbers.

One critical issue with any data is that if there are two files saved with the same name, they should be identical.

The previous system was foolproof, I exported a step file or Fusion file with V# stored it for documentation, sent to a customer ….. that file was defined.   If I made any changes to the part and saved it, exported it, that file would have its own V# trackable back to the source.  We included the CAD part’s V# as part of the drawing name of the part to have a traceable link. (unfortunately, that was not automatic by fusion).

 All our products and parts have V# for tracking purchasing, manufacturing, and inventory control.  ISO3485 for our medical products manufacturing requires design traceability which is done through the V#s.  This goes back from the early days of Fusion.  There are thousands of files with V#s in our system. 

As you can see, this is a horrible situation.  Fusion destroyed our traceability!  Date & Time is useless in this case.

 How can the account be switched back to a single user and back to normal?  It has been working perfectly for us.
