Cleaning up models?

gmdimarzio88 — Sat, 21 Jan 2017 17:17:57 GMT

I've been working on a project lately that requires a lot of movement of my components. When I do this I notice a lot of other stuff around my component making the screen busy. I'm not sure what this is or if it's what bogs down my computer. Is there a way to purge this extra data?

Hi @gmdimarzio88,

Thank you for posting!

Does it happend on this model? or other model files? I think we don't have that option a kind of Purge.

Do you mind sharing your model to figure it out? my email address is "ahreum.ryu@autodesk.com"

I look forward to your reply.

Many thanks!

I've often wished for this as well, since there always seems to be one sketch that won't turn off.

*EDIT* I actually figured out my issue. I have a component inside a component. Dragging the component out to be it's own component fixed my double sketch issue. User error on my part, but I notice the OP also has a multi-component components.

Fusion seems to be pulling locations of all sketches and bodies as they moved in the workspace. I guess maybe trying direct modeling might help. Not sure

Hi @gmdimarzio88,

By any chance, did you import your sketch from other program??

When you create the model using direct modeling, doesn't it happen? I still couldn't figure out whether your system issue or your model issue.

If I can do anything for you, please let me know.

Many thanks,

When you select a subassembly or component in a design Fusion 360 highlights the component with some of ira sketches as then some regardless even if they are hidden in that component or subassembly.

I does only show some sketches but not all sketches in a subassembly..

For example in this assembly I am selecting the Bottom PCB - CW component. There are three sketches in that component, but it only shows one and it does not show all sketch elements.

This was all built natively in Fusion 360.

I created the sketch parametrically. I'll try direct modeling and see if that works. Thanks

Hi @TrippyLighting,

Thank you for reporting this issue. if possible, do you mind sharing your model to figure it out? when reporting it to development team, It will be great to submit together.

Does it happen in complex model? are there any specific things?

I look forward to your reply.

@gmdimarzio88, thanks for the update.

@juanaviles, thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I couldn't think about that!

Many thanks~

Unfortunately, Sketches of components within another model can't be turned off which is a pain point I know Autodesk is addressing. I will try to remember to turn off the light bulb of each component when finishing a model before creating an assembly.
