Drawing has lost reference to intended design reference, drawing completely out of date, and lacking reference.

[EDukeCNC]

After the update, a large model with quite a few assemblies and sub assemblies has completely changed the design reference. I didn't think this was possible as I was trying to research this a few weeks ago to expedite my workflow. 

This has caused me to lose countless hours and inability to work from the drawing I had previously worked to define. 

This is the third major issue I have had with the software that renders it completely unusable and my previous work inaccessible. If I cannot de-activate auto updates, I may be forced to use a different software as the inconsistency is causing me to lose sleep along with long hours of work and potentially delay projects. 

I have a DXF as a component that is linked in my main model. I pulled some dimensions on this file, saved, updated the project file that this dxf is also used in and had no issues. Opened the drawing that uses this large project file as a design reference and it appears as though the design reference was changed to the DXF project that I was revising. I have no idea how this would happen and I'm fairly certain this functionality is not intentionally designed into the software. 

I have tried updating previous versions of the model and the drawing to no avail. 

Frustratingly, inside the web browser, the drawing shows the correct design reference when i go back to version 84. When I open v84 inside f360, the design reference is incorrect.

Hello @EDukeCNC 

This is indeed a strange and serious issue. But, it is difficult to get to the bottom of it without the dataset. Would it be possible for you to add me and my team to the project so that we can take a closer look at this problem? Here's my official email id rohit.bapat@autodesk.com

Please feel free to send us an email.

I have lost several bodies on my latest project. When i'm trying to recover them from saved sketches there are lots and lots of reference failures.

Hi @zarsss & @EDukeCNC 

The team has identified the root cause of this issue and have released a hotfix. It should be live today, once you update Fusion 360 to the latest build this issue should be resolved.

Please let me know how you get on.
