I'm getting a black screen when opening the tool library in Fusion

Tool Library does not respond and is shown as black or blank window in Autodesk Fusion

Issue

When attempting to start the CAM Tool Library in Autodesk Fusion, tools cannot be selected, and the window appears blank or black with diagonal white lines. Fusion may stop responding and have to be forced closed. 

Blacked out Tool Library window 

Blank white tool library 

Solution

Check the following settings

Change the Graphics Driver in Fusion

  • Go to the user profile in the top right corner
     
  • Select Preferences 
  • Select General on the left
  • Switch the graphics driver used to DirectX 11
  • Click Apply and OK
  • Test the tool library to see if the changes have worked

    Note: DirectX 9 can also be tested if the first switch has not worked.
