Creating Subassemblies

[Anonymous]

I've read and watched the information located here: http://help.autodesk.com/view/NINVFUS/ENU/?guid=GUID-C1D4C0D8-2695-4D88-8E90-2FF85B4FD47B

My issue is that I am unable to do what is being shown. Moving bodies into activated components. Moving components to other components to create sub assemblies. I've tried restarting the Fusion 360/Computer. No dice.  Bug??

Update #1 

Tried Creating a new component through the browser, then activating it. Tried moving bodies from the main tree. Tried Moving components into the newly created and activated component. Still unable....... 

Update #2

I opened a different file that has fewer bodies and no components. Created a few components out of the bodies and created a new component from the browser to be the main assembly.I activated the main assembly and was able to move bodies and components into the main assembly.

Could it be that the file I am having issues with could be the result of having too many bodies?

Hello hnquerubin,

Fusion does not have traditional assemblies and subassemblies.  You can create bodies and then create components from bodies or you can start by creating a new component, then activating the component to create bodies.  Fusion 360 creates a composite design using one workspace.  You can insert other designs into your current design by right clicking on the model in the data panel.  We are working on distributed designs where the insertion of other models be referenced data that you can update.   Let me know if you would like to do a screen share where I can walk through the process with you.

Cheers,

Mike Prom

I'm having the same issue. I'm using the Mac app:

1. I Build two components (A, B)
2. I create a third component (C) under the master component that will act as an assembly of the two first components
3. Activate component C
4. Drag A component to C

Expected behavior:

- A becomes sub-component of C

Actual behavior:

- Nothing happens

Fixed it! The problem was that one of the components was in a rollback state for some reason. I didn't notice. Oops! But if you run into this problem, check for that.
