Fusion 360 crashed - can no longer make new creations or edit existing ones

[michaelbuffington]

System details:

MacBook Pro

2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

8 GB RAM

Nvidia Geforece GT 650M with 1024 MB of RAM

OSX 10.9.2

First of all, a semi-related rant: I've yet to go more than 15 minutes without Fusion 360 crashing in OSX. I'm not exaggerating. I've never used a more unstable application, on OSX or Windows. I'd have ditched it ages ago if I didn't see the potential.

My normal behavior is to compulsively save my work. That comes with a slight cost though since saves lock the interface and can take from a few seconds to half a minute.

Today, while making a new sketch in a newly created design I started to add a two point rectangle.

Fusion 360 crashed. Not a big suprise.

What was a surprise was discovering that after the crash I can no longer create any new designs or edit any existing designs. I don't get any feedback or errors in the interface. Just "silence."

The good news is that there's little chance of Fusion 360 crashing now. The bad news is that the software is completely unsable, my designs completely locked up within it.

What's the remedy?
