Update Component Position In Assemblies

Update Component Position In Assemblies

When I am in an assembly or a sub asssembly I often place parts then create geometry or features based upon a placed part.  If I then go move that part, the derived geometry and features do not update to reflect the new position of the part.  I know Inventor has functionality like this, it would be nice to see this in Fusion.

You can run a "Modify->Compute all"  to force updating. Not automatic process, obviously, but it works in the meantime

Rubbish. Forget my last post. The difference between Fusion 360 and Inventor is that Inventor does not have a timeline. If you created Component A and then Component B and then projected something from A onto B to create a feature on B and you want to move that feature, you need to move the marker in the timeline back to the point in time before you created the projection.

 

Then move component A and capture it's position.

 

If you then move the timeline marker forward to the end, the design will update with the feature now in the changed location.

Yeah, I have tried this but fudging around in the timeline doesn't always work and often breaks more things than it fixes.
