Operation loses geometry selection after reorder?

[butch_berney]

I have a setup that already had multiple operations. I decided I wanted to add chamfers, so I create the new operations using the chamfer tool, selecting geometry for three operations, drill, chamfer, and contour. All good with the three new operations at the bottom of the list.

Next I drag the three operations up in the order. The problem is that the geometry selections for heights and edges are all missing and had to be reselected. Even stranger, this issue didn't present itself until I went in to edit one of the chamfer steps. Prior to editing, the operation had a green check mark, and the simulation worked fine. Once I edited, the operation was missing the geometry selections, as were the other two reordered operations. As far as I know, I didn't make any geometry or other changes after reordering.

I have never had this happen before, and I haven't yet tried to recreate the problem, but I will shortly. I just wanted to post before I forgot...

Fusion updated this morning to 2.0.20494, but I don't know how recent this problem is...or really if it's persistent...or due to something else I did? I don't think so, but I'll post an update later.

Let me make sure I understand your workflow:

1) You had good toolpaths

2) You went into Design and modified the model, adding chamfers

3) Returned to MFG and the toolpaths were still valid?

4) Reordered the toolpaths and they went invalid

5) Regenerated them, but they had lost selections

Is that correct?

Can you undo the changes (using the Undo at the top) and recreate your steps?

Alternatively, could you open your prior saved version and recreate them?

Not quite. I didn't make any design changes, only added three chamfer operations to an existing setup. 

1) I had good toolpaths with all the steps except for the three highlighted in the image

2) I added the three operations to the setup, and they were at the bottom of the setup

3) I simulated the toolpaths, and realized that I wanted the three chamfer operations higher in the order

4) I dragged the three chamfer operations to where they show in the image. The green check marks were still good

5) Ran a simulation, and everything worked

6) I wanted to reduce the chamfer slightly, so I edited the operation and found that geometry selections were lost

7) When I checked the other two reordered operations, they were missing geometry selections too

8) I repaired the selections (just reselected the geometry) in the three operations, and everything worked

What I didn't think of until just now is that I didn't check any of the other operations to see if geometry selections were lost. I have shut down Fusion to work on a different project, but I will check on this later and provide an update.

Thanks for the quick response Seth 🙂

I just went through the same steps, but was not able to recreate the issue. Perhaps I did something to the model in between the steps that caused the issue, but I didn't think so. I suppose it was an isolated incident, perhaps of my own making. If I run into the problem again, I'll try to pay closer attention to what I did.

Nothing to see here at the moment. Sorry for the distraction...

I had another version of the same part to machine, and the same thing happened this afternoon. Same set of steps as in my posts above.

For whatever reason, after repairing the reordered steps once, I can reorder the same operations without the failure. This isn't a huge issue, but it definitely is repeatable...well two times, on two separate parts anyway.
