Can't Select in Modify - Move/Copy

glrra30 — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 17:32:32 GMT

Sadly updated to latest version yesterday.

Fusion 2601.1.34 arm64 [Native]
Active Plan: Personal
macOS 14.2.1 (23C71) on Mac14,15

Can't select Components or Bodies in Move/Copy. If I pre-select the components they are all un-selected when I choose Move/Copy from the Modify menu.

Everything except "Select Through" (not the problem)

I've tried new file, restart Fusion, reboot computer . . . no change in behavior.

Select works fine if I'm not in Move/Copy

As state above, problem exists even in brand new file, so that's what I've provided. New file, add component, create simple block body in component. Make another occourance of component with copy/paste. Try to move component, cannot select . . . .

@glrra30

Can't you simply Unground the second component, click and drag or add a Joint as needed?

Maybe I don't understand the logic.

I think you found my problem. In the case of the example provided both components where grounded to Parent because one was created in position and the other was just a copy of it. In my other file where I originally experienced the problem I was trying to Move a component that was added to the assembly as an outside component, but in that case the problem was that I was trying to Move it after a Rigid Group locking everything together.

So same problem in both files, with different, but related causes.

Thanks,
