"Get latest" for my nested cutting pattern crashes Fusion 360
About 1 month ago I used the Nesting and Fabrication extension to make a sheet metal cutting pattern.
Now when I re-open the manufacturing model and click on "Get latest", a reference manager box appears. About 30 seconds after I click OK and close the box (while F360 is still thinking about it), Fusion crashes (suddenly disappears).
The model is here: https://a360.co/3sh6n5j

It's a little annoying because I was hoping to order the metal in the next few hours. I guess I will have to recreate the manufacturing model from scratch.

First off, unfortunately the link to your model does not work because the parts were derived in from another source document. Clicking and viewing in Fusion Team right now is not the best for nesting documents sadly. Because of this and the problem you described I am assuming that you have derived parts in through the component sources dialog, correct?
The reference manager is used to update the references to the parts when the external files change in any way and are out of date. This could be because you added a fillet, lets say, or a hole. Have the documents that are in the nesting document been changed at all or moved in the team hub?

Hi Luke
Thanks for looking into this. I'm on an educational licence - don't think it is the Team version but could be mistaken. No-one else has access to a "Team Hub".
Yes, there are a large number of source files and inserted components and they are changing all the time. In principle I can try to create an archive of the linked files for this version, if the web interface allows this. I have since started again and built a whole new nesting model - it is not crashing, though there are various issues with the manufacturing model getting overwritten and/or not exporting to DXF (see my recent post https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-manufacture/help-how-to-make-nest-my-manufacturing-model/t... ).
