inserted double derived block points to versions from derived block

[OrvillePirlot]

Hi,

I encountered some unexpected behavior from Fusion while using derived and inserted components. When inserting a double derived part, the versioning for this part points to the single derived part.

So say:

1. create part A
2. derive part A into part B
3. derive part B into part C
4. insert part C
5. choose version now points to the versioning from part B

Because this is probably less confusing when seeing I added a screen cast: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/45fde989-dbaa-4887-a8a7-20d8c4ba927d

I would guess this is not expected behavior?

To give some context of how we use these during our normal workflow.

We have 2 types of files:

1. working files
2. product assembly files

This just means that we have files in which we work and which have a huge number of versions. For each component we then derive these files into our product assembly files. These are considered "read only" and we only update these when we made a major change. This way these product assembly files only have a small number of versions. These files only show how the parts are assembled (so using joints) and which parts are in the BOM.

Next to this we have some components with designy shapes and to remove the dependency between the design shape and the functional features, we create a shape-file (Part A) which only considers the shape. We then derive this shape-part into a new files (Part B) and we make some functional changes, adding features, cutting etc.

So while working like this we had a shape-part, a derived part which we adapted functionally, a "read-only" derived of this last part and an assembly file in which we inserted the the "read-only" part. We then noticed that the "choose version" versioning of this inserted part was pointing to the wrong file.

Cheers,
