Combine command quit working in one file

[Anonymous]

I have a small file, only 1.2MB, that suddenly the combine bodies function has stopped working. There are only 9 bodies in the entire design and the bodies I am trying to combine are very simple.  I have tried to combine them using just the combine command on its own and also tried to extrude the body and selected the join while extruding option to combine the extruded part and neither method works. While extruding, it simply creates an additional body.  I tried deleting all of my Sketches and Construction Planes and closing and re-opening the file thinking if it were a memory issue that may help but it still does it.  My other files still work okay.  The bodies I'm trying to combine are the Back Top with the Snap Right and Snap Left. Thanks for any help you can provide.  Maybe it's just my copy of Fusion?

well, since those bodies aren't touching (see pic) I wouldn't expect them to combine.

Also, Don't ever delete sketches or construction planes that you use to create geometry.  And all those yellow errors in your timeline are going to cause you headaches as well.

If the two triangular bodies do not touch the Back Top body, you will never get the Combine command to work.  The screen captures below show the direction of view and then the actual view to show the gap.  Fix this and you probably will not have any issues.

Didn't even think to check that! Thank you very much.  I appreciate the quick reply. I only deleted the sketches temporarily to try and see if that worked.  I them reverted back to my saved version to work on.  Thanks again.
