BUG: Paste New Component function is broken

[jonwienke]

The new instance of the component appears momentarily, then disappears, leaving the copy/move dialog with no selected object to work with. It is not possible to paste a new instance of a component that is not linked to the original. Paste works, but then any edits made to any instance (other than position) propagate to all other instances. I need to copy the component and edit the copy without the edits affecting the original instance, and I can't.

Hi @jonwienke ,

Can you attach the design that you have issue with paste new in Fusion 360?

You can export by File>Export *.f3d/*.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply.

I can, but I'd prefer to send it privately, rather than post it publicly, as it's intended to become a commercial product.
