Ungrouping Components locked together...

[will.dameron]

So, I have a design wherein several different components are listed underneath one parent component in the browser. It was super handy to draw this way, but now I want to move the pieces independently of each other, and cannot seem to find a way to do this. I'm sure it is something simple I'm missing, and I hope it's not a methodology mistake I make which will force me to redraw the whole thing... Any advice?

I tried searching, and found some posts about 'make independent' but when I select a componenet in the browser, either the parent component, or the sub-components, and right click, I never get that option. Nor a 'break' option or anything like that.

I tried turning off the timeline feature, but this didn't solve the problem either.

This one little quirk is killing me! Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hello!

I'm guessing you mean you have multiple bodies all under one parent component? If so try right clicking the "bodies" folder and choosing "Create Components from Bodies." You should then be able to move them. In Fusion click-dragging only moves components, not bodies. A component has it's own origin, coordinate system, etc. so by dragging components you move all of that along with the actual body. When you move a single body the sketches stay in the same location. This can get confusing if you move bodies and then try to edit a sketch for that body. What will happen is the sketch will stay in it's original location while the body is in a different location, making it seem like the two are now disconnected in a way. 

Let me know if that makes sense of if you'd like me to clarify that a bit more.

Hope that works! If not post a screenshot and we'll go from there!

Best,

Did you use Copy and Paste, if you did you should have used Copy then Paste New to have independent copies. Or have you just designed several bodies in the main component, if you've done this take a look at this very helpful thread @TrippyLighting made on good design management and use of components.
