I need a little help here. New user-"itus"
Ok, so in a previous post, I mentioned that I am trying to model a simple DC Muffin fan.
I'm using this example as an entry tutorial for me and Fusion 360. After modeling, i save the document.
It uploads to my 360 Experience folder and is displayed in the list. When dragging the new fan into a new document,
all of the fan blades that were created then 'combined' to the hub appear disconnectedor exploded outward.
Did I do - or - not do something correct here?
Thanks - JD

Hi JD,
Sorry to hear the problem you have experienced.
It seems there are something wrong during the Insert Design. Could you post the Fan model here so we can take a further look? You can either Export it as .F3d format or Share Public Link with me by enabling the download permission. (My email address: lixiong.xu[AT]autodesk.com)
Best Regards,
Hi JD,
When you create your model of fun, arrange its componnets by Assembly -> Joint. This possitiong is "permanent". Means when you insert such constrained model into assembly (entire PC) constrains remain. But if you just arrange componnet by Move command, such arrangement is not permanent = ingnored when placed into assembly (entire PC).

Hi JD,
Thanks for sharing the model. I can reproduce the problem.
After looking into the model, there are some Move operation of blade body was not recorded in timeline. We can use the “Compute All” command under the Modify drop-down menu to reproduce the issue. (When inserting design, Fusion will re-create features based on the history, which exposes the problem.)
I have repaired the model and attached it here for your reference. Just to confirm, did you once use the Point to Point method when moving the blade body? If yes, it should be the root cause and we have fixed it in internal build. The build will be released soon.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please keep feedback coming.
Wow didn't realize I had stumbled onto a bug. Thought I just overlooked something.
And yes, i was using the point to point placement tool. Thanks for the help!!

I believe that this problem has been fixed in the latest release. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Glad I was able to help expose the break - so the fine AutoDesk AE's could quickly fix it!
Nice work!
Cheers! - JD
I believe I'm having this same problem. Is there something I need to do with models created in the previous version to fix them? I also use the point-to-point move regularly.

@kgrunawalt - re-assembling my model seems to have fixed it and I can now drop it into a new model and it stays assembled. Thanks!
