Unalbe to have timeline change while selecting single component in assembly

I have been trying to make this work over the past couple of days.  I have an assembly that I want to modify components in and have the timeline show me only the steps that each component needed for it's individual creation.  If I select the project name all of the steps in the timeline for all components are displayed.  I was shown a brief descripting from the Fusion 360 staff that if I select only one component the timeline will chane to show only that components features that were used to create it.  I went throught this process of creating three parts in the assembly first.... all being blank.  Then I selected each component separtate to activate it and then model it.  Once all components were created I then assembled them to each other.  I then proceeded to activate each component separately and watch the timeline to see if it would change.  It would not at all.  I could select any component in the assembly and the timeline never changed.  Am I still missing a step here or do I need to set something up on my software to get this to work?

Hi @davecc,

 

That was me...  Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet - it's on my list of follow-ups.  This should work.  I don't even know of a way to turn this off.  Can you share your design?  I'd like to look at it.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

Oh my... So embarassed.  @HughesTooling has it right.  I had no idea that this control even existed.  It does exactly that.  Wow...  Thanks, Mark!
