Paste New Loses Edit Feature History?

[RJaimeSmith]

Hey everyone, as I'm still learning fusion (which so far so good) I've been stumped today by an issue I'm not sure how to address. I took a video to show exactly what's going on, but in short; when I copy and paste new, I see the history of what I copied from, but if I try to edit the feature of the 'paste new' part, it still modified the original?

If anyone can advise on the proper way to take this on, I'd really appreciate it! 

Thanks!

Expected behaviour.  Up to the Paste process, both Components have the same history, Edit either one records the changes in all.  After the Paste - Adding new features to the new component will not effect the source component.

your video did not work here.

Hmm, okay I guess there have been some changes since this tutorial I was following along with.

If you check around 5:57 that is where I encounter the problem - I take it since it's been 5 years things have changed?

Well, no there is no changes from that video.

I was also able to see your original video on this machine, - sections of it are off my screen. 

You will note that the changes were made to the original component, and therefore did not propogate into component 3.

Activate component 3 as you did.  For some reason the video jumps to the top and activates that part of the file, Open the history tree, for component 3, and edit the extrusion in that timeline.
