Fusion360 Crash when "Paste New" component

[w]

Hello, I have a repeated problem crashing Fusion 360 when trying to "copy" and "Past New" comand on a component. I have even deleted everything from the file/design except the component, and it still crashes. I have also tried to "Export" and "Save copy As" but the program also crashes. Would greatly appreciate if anyone has experienced same problem, and has figured out a solution or workaround. Thank you.

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community! 

Do you have any warning or errors in the Timeline of this design? If possible, could you share the Fusion Design with us?

Hello,

Thank you for looking at it. The problem is with the "Key White: 1²
component.

Thank you for sharing the design. Fusion should be robust enough not to crash, but that does not appear to happen in this case. Thank you for reporting this issue. I have reported this issue to the development team via report ID FUS-27642.

I think reviewing the link below can help you to avoid this type of issue in the future. 

Best Modeling Practices

The issues are related to the timeline compute errors. If I eliminate the timeline errors, the issues seems to go away. Below is the method I used to eliminate the timeline features. 

1. I started converting features in the timeline with warnings or errors to direct modeling features by using the convert to DM command in the timeline (see right click menu). Once all timelines issues eliminated, I right clicked n the component "Key White:1" and selected a Save Copy As. I then saved the design Key White v2 in my project.

2. Next, I opened "Key White v2" design as a stand alone design and performed some further editing/simplifying in the the Base Feature to simplify the file. This step isn't necessarily required, but I did not see the point or the intent of all of the remove features in the timeline. 

3. Last, I right clicked on the design in the data panel and select Insert into Current design to insert "Key White v2"  into the "Paste New Problem Design."

4. You can then right click on the design and select Break Link. After this you can copy and Paste New, no problem because there are no problems with the timeline.

***I note that you could edit each of the features that are red and yellow in the timeline and reselect geometry or repair the feature as well. Since I'm not familiar with this design, I used the method summarized above.

The share link to the "healed" version of the design is located here.

Hello Nathan, thank you for all the pointers and reference materials, I will definitely go through and take the steps you have recommended. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you again for your time and taking a close look at the file. Thank you, Wojtek

This issue is happening every time I try it today. Copy and Paste new is something I use every day. for some reason I come in today and can't get it to work at all in any file. crashes every single time.  With no errors in timeline.

one particular component, or in general on any component? can you post your model with the offending component?

THIS WAS SOLVED/ HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ONE OF THE FEATURES IN THE FILE. WHEN I STARTED A NEW DESIGN, THE ISSUE WAS GONE.
