Large assembly crashes when updating references (all versions)

HenryDara — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 17:36:52 GMT

My design will open, but Fusion hard crashes when I try to update the external references. All versions crash hard, and I have send many crash reports to Autodesk this morning. Hoping the community can help.

Problem happened when Fusion was running real slow, so I restarted my PC, and now all versions crash.

I also noticed that I dont get the get latest feature except in the top bar (not at component level)

After trying a bunch of things to recover the file, here is what I found (not much)

"Get all latest" would crash 360 hard, and there was no option to just update the offending component reference in the main design, but I could when I opened the sub assemblies that contained the old components.

I thought there was a "get latest" when I right click on the out of date component, but in this case that option didnt exist, so I had to open its design separately and get latest there. That is fine by me, but "Get ALL latest" crashed fusion hard every time. When I updated everything myself bit by bit, I was able to get the design recovered, but had to delete some components in the process. Now I have to try to get those put back in to the main file again.

Unclear yet why the components all of a sudden became "outdated" for no reason (they were up to date at the time that I saved the project before restarting my PC) but I suspect Fusion got tripped up in its file handling somehow at the time that I shut down the PC.

In the end no answers, but at least things are kinda fixed...for now.

I downloaded your assembly and it looks spiffy clean!

I was able to open many of the sub-assemblies without a problem.

However when I opened the top level assembly Fusion 360 crashed, without be trying to update anything. Just opening the assembly!

@ryan.bales it would be good to check this out!

I'm getting the same thing. Crashes on open. I'm not sure how much i can provide to this one @HenryDara, does it crash for you on open?

Im not sure which version your looking at now, I was able to open it, but it crashed when I tried to Get All Latest.

I am now working on v141 ( https://a360.co/2DP1k3d ) having moved on, and it opens fine now that ive manually updated the references. It seems we are all getting different behaviors from the same file.

Thanks...Henry

After moving on, I had another kind of odd thing happen with this file...

https://a360.co/2DP1k3d

Where the MCP needs updating, I do a Get Latest for just that component, and a bunch of joints go wacky that dont seem like they should be affected at all by the MCP as far as I can figure.

Anyhew, I was able to delete the MCP without getting any errors, then re-inserting it back into the main design, but then it would not let me joint it in the main design. Getting compute failed error (like I usually get when ive jointed something wrong somewhere)

Narrowed the offending feature in the MCP to a Body to Comp 1 (the MCP), which happens late in the timeline after all the modeling stuff, but before attaching and joining all the hardware to the new components (from bodies)

Is this where I went wrong, breaking rule #1? If so, is there any way to fix it besides remodeling the parts following rule #1 better? These days I always create the component first, but this was created prior to me doing that by default.

Thanks...HD
