sketch locked

kentozier — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 17:03:34 GMT

I may have lucked out prior to today, but I haven't changed ant work habits and the sketches I've done today all lock permanently. I made a base sketch, clicked "finish", did a couple extrudes and noticed one wasn't behaving correctly.
I opened the sketch back up to tweak a couple of the lines and everything in it is locked. I tried several different selection priorities but nothing works. I don't see a lock icon in the timeline or the browser, so I'm stumped. I've had to redraw this thing three times today and its getting old.

Everything is normal with your sketch.

Black lines are fully constrained - edit the dimensions.

White dots are not fully constrained.

If this were my design - I would not be repeating dimensions.

I shared it and set permissions to no password, but clicking on url shows file is empty, when it definitely is not. I give up. Guess I'll redraw it a fourth time...,

Doesn't work for me. I even quit Fusion and relaunched. I'm totally locked out.

The file doesn't have any solid geometry - only sketch geometry. The viewer is expecting to see solid geometry, nothing wrong with this file at all - perfectly normal.

Your video does not show you attempting to do anything logical.

None of the lines should just drag - that is the foundation of Fusion 360.

Is this your first project?

Have you gone through the Tutorials?

I'm definitely pretty new to this, but have been playing with Fusion since December and never run into this problem before. I've always been able to select lines after closing and reopening sketches. In the screen cast, I wasn't trying to drag anything, only select lines and show that when the cursor is over a line it doesn't highlight. It's always highlighted before this weekend. I've always been able to select dimensions and change them, but since yesterday, once I close a sketch, it becomes immutable. Nothing responds to clicks, be they lines or dimensions.

What Selection Filters do you have active?

That was the problem! I must have inadvertently done something in that menu that disabled everything. Ive never intentionally opened that menu before, so it must have been something that happened when I wasn't paying attention.

Thanks.
