Insert Derive does not add the component to the Browser

When I insert a component using "Insert Derive", Fusion usually adds the component to the Window and the Browser. When inserting more than one component from different files, only the first gets added to the Window and Browser. All consecutive derives are "ghost" components. You can select them via the History, but only the blue shadow of the component appears. "Find in Browser" and "Find in Window" in the History menu do not work. If I close and re-open the file before inserting a second component it works as expected.

 

I can recreate the bug in new designs when inserting screws from my library, but I could not recreate it using arbitrary shapes. 

My screw library uses threads (not modeled) and a few user parameter describing the geometry.

 

The screenshot show a "ghost" screw in the Window. The joints are not necessary to recreate the bug.

The second screw does not show up in the online preview, but after downloading the Fusion Archive and importing it it is visible again in the history, but nowhere else.

I've been running into this bug a lot recently, as well as other bugs where derive won't work with copied designs. It's a giant, giant issue for my workflow, and like @MACABItech said, it's actually one of the big reasons I decided not to buy a renewing license last month. Unfortunately derive just causes so much strange behavior and often outright crashes. I really hope it gets fixed!

 

Also, substituting "insert into current design" for derive doesn't always work. I frequently get situations where inserted components cause an instant crash when you try to refer to them. For example creating an offset plane to a projected point on a sketch in an inserted design makes Fusion crash.

Hello all,

 

I just lost an hour due to 10+ crashes trying to get through this. It would be great to see this fixed very soon.

 

Thank you
