Unstable Joint References from External Design

Sorry to post a second time in two days. I feel like I've been having stability issues lately.

 

Basically, in the video I attached, I show the configured component that I'm bringing into a new configured design. In that component, I have made a reference sketch that I will be using as a joint reference for attaching other parts.

 

As I switch configurations (which causes the reference sketch to simply change in length), the joints do not update accordingly unless I manually Compute All. In the video, I'm showing a simplified version of my design, but in the one I'm actually working in, this is causing some serious issues with the rest of the model due to it not updating reliably.

 

I have used this same type of technique very many times in the past with great results, but perhaps it is problematic that the reference is based on projected curvatures. That would be sad to me because I NEED that reference.

 

FYI, I did a clean reinstallation this morning due to a separate issue before having this new problem.

 

I can only export the file via private message because it's a configured design.

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Configured designs can be exported as F3Z file format.  If the Forum will not accept this type of file as an attachment, simply ZIP it first, then attach.

Thanks for the reply.

 

That must have been it- here's the zip folder with the file in it.

 

Another Fusion update just landed, so I'm going to install that and see if anything changes.

I installed the update that came this weekend after I posted this issue, and the issue is now resolved.

 

I'm VERY thankful that they already had found this to be a problem and that I only had one day of dealing with it by the time they came out with a fix.

 

Thanks Fusion!
