As I've worked on this design, and added components and bodies, I've noticed that other components/bodies are displaced slightly out of position. I've spent a lot of time going back and re-aligning everything.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I've attached the model with the small unwanted gaps.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>What am I doing wrong or missing about how to properly use Fusion?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you.</P> Mon, 24 Jul 2023 15:39:54 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120642#M36007 jgordis 2023-07-24T15:39:54Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120712#M36008 <P>You need to attach your model in question to your post so the Forum users have something to study.&nbsp; If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.</P> Sun, 23 Jul 2023 19:36:36 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120712#M36008 jhackney1972 2023-07-23T19:36:36Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120959#M36009 <P>one possible way that this can happen is inadvertent component dragging.&nbsp; Sometimes you mean to select, and you do left mouse drag, but if the cursor is over a component, it will move the component.&nbsp; To disable that, uncheck the "Component Drag" option in the Select dropdown:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot 2023-07-23 at 4.16.43 PM.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1243934i2D0F420C69A39C03/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot 2023-07-23 at 4.16.43 PM.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-07-23 at 4.16.43 PM.png" /></span></P> Sun, 23 Jul 2023 23:17:43 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120959#M36009 jeff_strater 2023-07-23T23:17:43Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120971#M36010 <P>If you're not using joints to position them, then any inadvertent click can move them.&nbsp; See <A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/fusion-360-r-u-l-e-1-and-2/td-p/6581749" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rule #1</A></P> Sun, 23 Jul 2023 23:31:36 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12120971#M36010 etfrench 2023-07-23T23:31:36Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/components-bodies-shifting-out-of-position-slightly-don-t-know/m-p/12122550#M36011 <P>You are referring to Rule #1 because joints can only be used between components, not bodies?
