Thread size does not change after thread "edit feature" command.

I'm designing a threaded cap like on the screencast below. After changing the thread size from M50x3 to M50X1,5 and confirming changes in the "edit feature" tool, thread size does not change and goes back to the previous size.

 

How can I change the thread size to the new dimension using "edit feature" tool?

First tip: Fix all the errors (yellow (and red) marked features). That's Fusions 360 way to tell you, that you can't trust what's displayed. Second tip: File -> Export your design and attach it here so that we can have a closer look at it.

Ok, I've cleaned the warnings/errors visible in the timeline bar, but the problem described in my first post still occurs. I've attached my design so you can look into it and maybe find the reason, why changing inner thread size in the top/bottom cap component does not works.

Thank  you in advance

Bartek everything if fine you have overlapping bodies and size is changed in one of them only. You've might overlook that because it looks that you've created Base Feature while copying that body. Pull back the timeline to the moment of creating the thread and move it forward step by step to review your error.

even worst, you've removed original body...

I came to the same conclusion. The 2nd advise from my side is to not move things around. Creating joints is a much more reliable solution. Creating components is a good thing. sub-components do have a downside in Fusion 360 because only top level components will show up in the BOM. Only ground one component.

OK, I double checked my design again and I found all the issues you have mentioned  above. In fact, I had created a component, based on the body that I later removed.

Do you have any advices, how can I now change the thread size in the component "TopCap/BottomCap", so I do not need to redesigne the whole project?

 

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
