I'm confused about the differences in behavior of the selection filter.
a) set the selection filter to „Sketches“. On mouse-over Fusion highlights (and selects on click) sketches in the browser and in the viewport. Mouse-over on timeline elements will be ignored. Good!
b) set the selection filter to „Occurrences“. Now also elements in the timeline are highlighted on mouse-over.
Why? That seems to me inconsistent/confusing.
It gets even more confusing when the user clicks on a „component“ in the timeline. Then the „assembly-component“ will be selected that is the parent of the „clicked-component“.
By the way: you can also see exactly this behavior when you manually (Fusion 360 UI) add an „as-built joint“.
Is that as designed?
