I have had this happen a few times to me where there are sketch elements, then i delete some of them, but they dont dissapear - and can longer be selected.
A video from fusion 360 staff showing another feature exhibits the same problem at 6:11 (he tries to delete the "R" a second time and is unable to. As well there are some ghosted elements on the left top side of the sketch)
Deleting things from a sketch is very common and should be supported. In my work, I cannot imagine a way to design and sketch many of my models without deleting curves and lines. Is everyone else really so good at sketching that they don't delete?
Hi Jason, I've never myself had any trouble deleting sketch elements. If you run into an issue like that I'd be interested in taking a look at it, and hopefully coming to some conclusions, by you sharing the model file, such as by exporting it as a .f3d file and uploading it to this thread.
I delete stuff all the time - even when I know exactly where going, maybe I want to make something that is half ellipse and half circle, then I'm breaking lines and deleting. It's definitely necessary core functionality - but given the current state of the system, you just kinda have to hold your nose and expect things not to work consistently or reliably.
To expect otherwise is apparently deemed «negativity».
Jason, usually there is a fairly straightforward way to do exactly what one wants, but a willingness to try and learn is necessary, and hmm, I would call it an expectancy of success, NOT an expectancy of failure, or negative outcome.
Oh come now - trying something reasonable [deleting something in a sketch] and then having it not work isn't «expecting failure or a negative outcome».
It's trying something perfectly reasonable and then having it not work.
I'm sure there is a work around - which is great for the short term - but it's also a pretty big bug that should be fixed.
Let's hold our horses until more is known about this sketch problem 😉 I suspect it must surface in limited use cases like imported SVG files or what not. We'll see, if someone can provide a reproduction of the behavior.
The problem isn't not being able to delete sketch elements, they delete fine, but they stay around as ghosts visually. You can't select them, when you extrude they don't show, but visually the ghosts of them reman. They even remain in the left hand side cloud panel's previews. I have also never imported an SVG so it's not that. I'll see if I can make it happen in a screencast.
