Moving Component

I have a Track Drive Assembly, and a have a component named track which should be under the Track Drive Assembly but was not created under the assembly.  track right now is only a sketch.  I thought I could drag the track component under the assembly but it doesn't seem to work. I can create a new component under the Track Drive Assembly and then I thought I would drag the sketch under this new component but it doesn't seem to work. Any assistance appreciated. If I understand correctly the link below should allow you to see it ?  Thanks.

is anything built from that sketch. the sketch does not want to be moved as it will break you design, that's what it thinks it will do.

 

you can copy and past the track component into the Track Drive Assembly just have the mouse cursa above the word Track Drive Assembly when you past, then you can delete the track component.

it does not seem to break your design any more than it is, I would suggest fixing it first some off the press pulls you can just edit , but there is a lot of broken bits in it

@dozerdroid fusion sometimes does that if it thinks something will break it will not let you move it, it is wrong most of the time this is something they are working on.

 

to fix the other broken bits right click on a feature in the time line that is yellow or red and select Edit feature or edit.

 

by the looks of it the bits that are broken it is because they where moved or something got deleted and you did not use capture position.

 

I would suggest you watch this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbSkwvZyU_0

 

also I would just start again I don't think you will be able to fix the design.

Fixing errors means that you need to start fixing these yellow and red icons in the timeline as they indicate problems.

Every time Fusion 360 creates such an error there was a pop-up window in the lower right corned of Fusion 360 that you did not respond to by fixing the root cause for that warning or error.

 

Before you do anything else, you should fix that.

Chances are that your assembly is going to behave much more predictable and perhaps even allows you to move that track assembly where you want it.

Thanks for the response Trippy, unfortunately for some of the messages that were presented I couldn't understand what is was indicating the problem was so I tried a few things without any luck and moved on, would be useful if the message box had some kind of help link that you could click for a better description of possible solutions, I'll have a better look in the future.
