From the introduction of the new arrange method, I am not able to keep the machining setup to the pieces in the arrangement.
Each time I make a little modify in the model, the setup loose the bodies or components selected and I need to reselect the model of the setup and consequently each line in each machining that are not automatic.
The result is a lot of time waste and the impossibility to use it anymore.
I try to select the bodies, the components, the arrangements etc. nothing seems to change.
Solved! Go to Solution.

OK, I understand that is the standard answer, but it happens in all the files and each time. I don't think is a problem to replicate it in your own file.
Anyway I will do it.

"It happens in all the files and each time".
I can't say that this is a common statement with our customers who use the Arrange function, so it's possible that it's something unique to your workflow.
If you don't feel comfortable sharing the file here, you can also email it to me:
seth DOT madore AT autodesk DOT com
(please link to this thread so I understand the context of the email)

Is not a problem to share a file, I keep one that I did from scratch exactly for this, so there's not much that can go wrong because complex workflows.
If I try to change for example the distance between the pieces for use a more big or little tool, the setup loose the selection, but if I remember well it happen each time I change something and fusion have to calculate again the arrangement. It didn't happen before the new arrangement method one or two months ago if I remember well.

Okay, it does look like this is a known issue, tracked as TRUNFSN-5605. I can't give you a timeline for when it's going to get fixed, but we certainly recognize the gap in the workflow.
If you turn off the Preview Flag for Automated Arrange and use the old "Arrange" function, the Setup will retain the component selection thru Arrange edits.
