Information on deleting referenced parts in an assembly

Information on deleting referenced parts in an assembly

It would be really useful if Fusion would inform you where a part is being referenced, when it prevents you from deleting it. At the moment the only information you given is the prompt "it cannot be deleted because it is being referenced by other components. When I delete this component form all of my assemblies, however, I still get this alert and cannot get around it. A simple list of the references with the prompt would make removing all references a lot easier, and simplify deleting components.

Thanks 🙂

W\hen you break the link, or delete the linked part this is done to the current version of the design. However these components are still linked to the prevsious version(s) of the design and cannot be deleted in these previous version.

I find this one of the most frustrating things about Fusion 360. Surely the prompt could list the referenced components - after all, the software has already identified them. How hard could it be?
