Problem editing joints

[danolson1]

When I try to edit joints in my project, the dialog box doesn't have fields for the x, y an z offsets.  This problem seems specific to this model.  When I made a simple model, the joint editing behavior worked as expected.

When I try to edit a joint by right-clicking on the timeline, there is no "Edit Feature" option.  See photo.

In the attached photo, I'm trying to edit the "Rigid14" joint in the "bent 1:1" component.  I selected the joint from the browser panel.

Here's a link to the design

I've been working around this by deleting joints and re-creating them, but that sometimes leads to other problems with the timeline.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi @danolson1,

Yes, there is definitely something wrong with this design's joints.  It's worse than just not having the offset information - those joints are missing all sorts of data, including the components that are involved, when trying to edit the joint:

Note that the selections are not satisfied, either.  

We will need to look into this model a bit to see if we can determine what has happened to these joints (it's more than just Rigid 14, unfortunately).

If you can fix it by re-creating the joint, that would probably be the best solution for the moment.  Sorry not to have a better fix.

One other observation:  The parameters for the joints do appear in the Parameters dialog:

And, editing these values seems to have the desired effect on the model.  The problem seems to be only with the Edit Joint command.  if you can avoid using Edit Joint, that would probably be best for now.

Thanks.  I didn't know I could access the parameters from there.

Fyi, I'm having the same issue on one of my bigger assemblies. Thanks for the tip of changing the joints through the parameters dialog. If there's anything I can do to help diagnose the issue, let me know.

I'm having this exact issue as well. Recreating the joints does not fix the issue. Joints on these same components were working 24 hours ago in another assembly.

Fusion 360 blows solidworks out of the water for individual part modeling, but for assemblies I'm discovering it's almost unusably buggy.

Follow-up:  This bug (and a bunch of other related joint-editing bugs) has been fixed in our internal builds.  We hope to get this fix out in the next update.  We apologize for the disruption, and appreciate everyone being willing to share their data with us to help us fix this.
