3D Board Outline does not update after Push to 3D

I'm working in EAGLE/Fusion360 for years. The software is getting better but there are some issues. I will try to describe my issue so Fusion can be improved.

  • I have PCB designed in Fusion360 ECAD for example of dimensions 100x50mm.
    This was created using MCAD -> ECAD Create Linked PCB based on MCAD sketch, but then I immidiately break link with MCAD in ECAD.
    (Not valid design - only for this demonstration purposes:)

  • Using Push to 3D for the first time, creates new 3D instance with outline, copper, components, silkscreen etc fetched from 2D ECAD PCB.

  • Then, I change components location, copper etc and board outline to 100x60mm, save and Push to 3D.

  • 3D model updates everything except board outline, what is very, very weird and produces strange results.

    I think there should be "Re-associate Derived Outline" or "Replace Board Outline" checkbox in Push to 3D popup, but I don't have that checkbox:

    Also, to get around this I have to break the link and create new 3D PCB, but that creates another issue in Fusion360 - I can not delete the first 3D PCB from directory, so I end up with a lot 3D PCB files in directory - which creates mess. The first PCB states that it is "Not referenced by any other designs":

but despite that - refuses to be deleted:

Hello @fiskusmati ,

 

I hope you're doing well. Are you working exclusively in Fusion now? If you are jumping between the two then we have more variables to consider. Normal Fusion with the latest ECAD and MCAD workflows shouldn't be causing this. The more details you can provide about your workflow the better.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

Hello.

Yes, I have switched from EAGLE to Fusion, so currently working exclusively in Fusion
