Hi,
I'm a longtime solidworks user who is still transitioning over to Fusion. I've spent most of the day trying to look for answers to this issue searching here and youtube and I just can't figure it out.
I'm having issues with projections and intersections not updating dynamically when parameters change. I tried to create a file to show the main issue, but found I was creating an explody mess before even getting to the main issue. So I must be doing something really bad.
I've uploaded a file to show what I must obviously be doing wrong.
I'm used to creating a master sketch to control global sizing, then (for simplicity and ease of selection) creating sketches on top of that master sketch where I add more detail.
In this files case. I have a master sketch, then on my 3rd sketch I offset the master sketch in 2 directions and create lines between the intersections to be used to split the main body into individual components.
(I actually tried to split the bodies at the bodies intersection without relying on the sketch, but when that had issues updating I tried to control it with a sketch. I also tried to project the intersections into the sketch, but ended up going for real sketch features, but even this doesn't work)
I then split the bodies. I even chose to do them individually because I thought that might help.
Everything works fine until you start to adjust the 4 parameters I made.
The file shouldn't explode into a mess just by changing a few paramaters. I never even tried to give it numbers that would deliberately cause it to explode (eg. numbers smaller than the diametre of the tube in length etc)
What am I doing wrong here? This technique would work 100% of the time in Solidworks and never present an issue. To me this is basic functionality and I just don't get what i'm doing wrong.
I've made many very detailed multi-scalable configurations in Solidworks that rarely ever see yellow or red, but Fusion it's like I set off a bomb or something.
Please help.
Kind regards, Matt Jobson
