"MOVE component" function became really hard to use and annoying

petern7 — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 19:20:59 GMT

"MOVE component" function became really hard to use and annoying in my profile this week, after auto-refreshing version. Now it is practically unusable, the opposite was before! Something mis-aligned??

Please attach an example or do you think is occurring just on your system.

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.

also, please clarify what "hard to use and annoying" means. What is making Move "practically unusable"? Need more information. What kind of move (component, body, sketch?). What Move operation (free move, translate, rotate, point-to-point)? A video illustrating would also be helpful.

I just tried a body Move, and it seems to work fine for me.

I think that the OP has run into the new Ground to parent feature ...

Hello Sirs,
at the start of the "MOVE (component)" the arrows are changing to - 0.0 deg
- and to the circle and can not use directly the mouse on the arrows,
only write in mm-numbers into the table, or sometimes the mouse-click on
the little flat-surface, that is the only way of translating now.
Previously I did not experience that.
Is it normal from now on?
Thanks, Peter

This seems to be the same problem as I am having, also raised in the thread at https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-support/trouble-selecting-editing-tool-options/td-p/12847309

There are quite a few threads in the forum about this issue. One of them has the solution: try changing the graphics driver to Auto-Select. Mine was on DX9 for some reason, and changing it fixed the problem.
