Change Parent of a Component (in timeline)

[autodeskN884Q]

I have created a couple of components like

Cylinder 30mm

Cylinder 40mm

Cylinder 50mm

I started, thinking I'd do only one component "Cylinder" but realized later I need it in different variations. So I want to move them to a common parent. Like

Cylinder

-> Cylinder 30mm

-> Cylinder 40mm

-> Cylinder 50mm

That's no big deal, right? Just create a new Component and move the other ones into it.

Well but that also creates new objects in the Timeline. I want to avoid that. So i want to do basically the same as everytime when I need to change something in the past. Let's say a chamfer. Instead of doing a new chamfer I just edit the old one, right. 

So I went back in the timeline right before creation of the first cylinder, renamed it to "Cylinder 30mm" and before that I created another component "Cylinder". Now I want to edit the object creation of "Cylinder 30mm" so that instead of being created in the root component it's created in my new component "Cylinder"

Is that somehow possible? Doubleclick on the timeleine item doesn't do anything.

I've attached an example model that just holds 3 components (C30, C40, C50)

Thanks

edit: wrote circle instead of cylinder. woops

What you're asking for doesn't work unfortunately. It seems simple enough especially if there are no dependencies farther down the timeline, maybe why it's not allowed is it might cause problems with more complex components? Maybe @jeff_strater can explain?

The only workaround is to copy the components then Paste New into the container component then delete the originals.

@HughesTooling has it essentially correct - it has to do with references.  A reference to a piece of geometry includes its "component path".  If you change that, all references would break.  Yes, it would be possible to have Fusion find and fix all the references, that just hasn't been done yet, and would be  a lot of work.  That's why Fusion supports the "restructure" timeline feature - to fix up the hierarchy after the fact.  Doing that does not need to change references before the restructure feature
