Strange items when returning to start of Time line

glen.cafferty — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 03:57:09 GMT

When I return to the start of the Timeline, I have an Object appear, before I take the first step. I can select it, (Turns blue) but cannot delete or move it. It's not listed in the Browser nor the Timeline at that point. I Went back to the DM object, went in and found the item, but couldn't move or delete it. I made some changes in DM mode then finished that. When I'm back in the Timeline, my enter project has disappeared, except for the same disk and two more objects. When I click on the object There's no longer an Edit option. Anyone have answers.

That should not happen, so it's likely a bug.

However, your workflow is likely in need of improvements.

If you followed recommended practices, it is unlikely that you would have exposed this bug 😉

Thanks. Self taught for this project, so not familiar with best practices. NeedI go through the tutorials from beginning?

Most official Fusion tutorials will only teach you basics.

When you have a new project, go to the forum and ask how best to start it.
Follow instructions and post frequent updates.

This is a fairly simple design - should not take long to recreate it from scratch.

I recommend that you start over and Attach the new file here for guidance after creation of each and EVERY sketch and feature.

Probably should avoid using Move or Align command in your design.

Stay in Capture Design History.

You will be making significant progress in no time with guidance from the experts here.
