Cannot delete used STEP in 3D Package

silvio3105 — Sun, 29 May 2022 16:52:07 GMT

Hi,

I cannot delete used STEP file in 3D package for footprint.

I've uploaded STEP, import it as body and break the link.

Now I cannot delete it since its "used" somewhere else.

Cannot delete it via browser.

Love those invisible chains and bonds between things 😄

I cannot move file to new project since that project is not in same project where the file is.

Something like this:
- Project 1
- Few Folders, files etc.
- Project 2
- Trash

Maybe this is the reason for this bug(which exists for too long).

File A has v1 and v2

v1 has link with File B. v2 does not have any link to File B.

File B cannot be deleted since then user cannot go back to v1(File A).

I saw this problem from too many users and it's the problem for Fusion 360, not just F3E.

@silvio3105
Sadly, the TRASH folder (or project, actually) have to be on the top level, as a Project.
Fusion doesn't properly support folders.

Yes, I made Trash as a project in root.
