Fusion 360 crashes on first or second action

[Anonymous]

 I'm working with a mid-2012 Macbook Pro running Yosemite with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.

Last week I was going through modeling exercises and everything was working great. The next day I couldn't do anything in Fusion or it would crash - either right away, or when I tried switching to the Sketch environment after creating a simple shape. A week later, this problem persists. (I don't recall, but it's possible that Fusion was updated, right now I am on 2.0.1628) I read a previous post that had a similar problem with a Macbook air from a month ago that sited the graphics card as the problem and was resolved with a Fusion update. I am working with a relatively small window, and I have checked that I have optimize performance on in Fusion's Graphics Diagnostics, I've also restarted my computer and closed most programs.

It seems to be working fine for my partner who's on a mid-2012 macbook air with the same memory and graphics card as me, but a slower processor (1.8GHz Intel core i5) and his OS is Maverick..

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jena

Oops, this is totally not a Tip or Tutorial. I am actually not exactly sure where this belongs, but I am going to repost this in 'Design and Documentation' because it seems that it will fit in better there.
