BUG: Drawn areas in sketches can no longer be selected

phil_her — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:59:58 GMT

Hello everyone,
Since the last update of Fusion360, I can no longer select drawn areas in the form of circles or rectangles in any drawings.

I have made a video to illustrate this:
https://youtu.be/prFqcXHfIcs

Interestingly, if I open the project with the sketch, save it, close it, and reopen it, I can suddenly select these areas again. However, this only applies to that one sketch. This means that for a project with several dozen sketches, I would have to open, save, close, and reopen each sketch again.

Does anyone have a fix for this?
I can't open all of my dozens of projects and save, close and reopen dozens of sketches...

Please attach your model file. 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. If needed, ZIP a F3Z file.

I think you will find if you use the Compute All (Ctrl or COMMAND + B) command when you have this issue, it will solve your issue. I did this on one of your sketches you show in your video.

I cannot specifically tell you what happen with your model but Fusion often needs to have a Compute All command issued when moving between linked model, assemblies and components and just generally when geometry does not update automatically. I see it a lot when using skeletal modeling.
