Bodies inside components are stuck unelectable

[brian.team.jr]

I have a design where I have many instances of a few different components inserted underneath the parent component. I accidentally right-click-selected two of these different components and selected Selectable/Unselectable. If I Undo or try to select the same menu option again, nothing happens.

I realized from this post that the bodies are also set as unselectable. Expanding one of the instances of the component shows that's the case. If I hover over the body for that component, I get the help text "Right click -> Selectable to enable selection"

But nothing I do makes the standard menu options show up. I only get a small subset of the proper right-click menu options for a body (see attached screenshot). I performed this action only on two components of different types, but now every single body inside every single inserted component of these two types is unselectable in my design. 

Am I missing something really obvious to re-enable them? I've opened the separate component design itself and there's nothing weird saved back through to the original component.

Hard to tell without seeing your model, please attach it.

All the components shown in your screen shot are linked components.  you would need to edit the component to get the right click menu you're expecting when selecting a body.

I cannot use that button since I am on the free license. As I understand it, that would just take me to edit the component itself, which I have done by opening that component design from my project list. Nothing is unselectable when I do that. 

I just made a trivial reproduction: new design, inserted 2x of component A, 1x of component B. Select one of the component A in the browser list, right click, Selectable / Unselectable. It immediately makes both of those inserted components unselectable, as well as the underlying body of both of them.

 Component B still fine. I can make both of the Component A components selectable again by repeating the right click menu,  but now I have no way of making Component A's internal body selectable again.

In the linked example, component A is the two 4.0cm objects, component B is the 6.0cm one.

With a Fusion Personal License, you cannot Share a design.  Please attach an Exported Model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it. If needed, ZIP a F3Z file.

My fault, thanks for the heads up. Design is attached - hopefully it includes the extra components inserted as well. Otherwise, my steps to reproduce will take anyone about 2 minutes if they're curious about this issue. Repeating them here for clarity.

1. Create a new empty design

2. insert any other design that holds a single top level component (component A)

3. insert a second of that component

4. insert any other different design that holds a single top level component (component B)

5. Select one of the component A in the browser list, right click, Selectable / Unselectable

6. Repeat 5 to make the component selectable again

7. Expand both instances of component A in the browser - their body should still show unselectable with the little red lock, with no option to change that in the right click context menu

I switched to my Fusion Personal License and uploaded you assembly.  It reacts exactly the same way it does in my Fusion Subscription License.  The Components are right click accessible as well as the bodies.  There are not issues.  The video will show this.

Hey John,

Thanks so much for taking a look. Right after you posted your video, I went back to my example project and verified the the behaviour I'm describing occurred again. I then did exactly the same steps as you, and that still showed my problem where the inner body would be unselectable no matter what I did.

Two days later, I opened up the sample project and tried again, and it worked perfectly like your video shows. I opened up my main, original project that has remained closed this whole time, and all of the sudden all of the internal bodies of the components were also selectable again, and missing the red lock symbol in the browser.

Typically I'd assume that I had made a mistake somewhere, but I know I validated this exact behaviour. It seems like it was just a weird bug in Fusion that maybe a close/reopen cycle or two fixed for me.

Thanks all for the ideas.
