Extrude from Component 1 to Component 2 doesn't update

[David_Ewen]

I created a pipe component by extruding from fitting 1 to fitting 2.

Fitting 1 and Fitting 2 are joined via slider 

When I update the join between F1 & F2, the extruded component does not change.

Here's a link to the Fusion model.

The screenshot shows the extruded pipe highlighted that is not changing length when the join between F1 & F2 are changed.

Sorry, not sure why, but the link changed.

I get Unauthorized on this second link?

Can you File>Export and then Attach the *.f3d file directly here?

[David_Ewen]

I apologize.

I'm having a lot of trouble with Fusion360 NOT sharing files even though they are shared.

I was just on a conference call with my customer regarding this issue. 

I have un-shared and re-shared this file many times attempting to get past the "OOPS we can't find this page" from Autodesk. I will put a support case in for that next.

Here's the latest link: https://a360.co/2UzQ3tI

You can see in the attached screen shot, that according to Fusion, this is the link.

Fusion can do this, if I understand the problem correctly.  But, it is important to understand the way the timeline works in Fusion.  If you move the component after the extrude, then it will not update to the new position.  However, if you go back and update the component position before the extrude, it will update correctly.  Usually, the easiest way to do this is by editing a Capture Position that occurs before the extrude.  Here is a screencast:

Hello @jeff_strater 

Thanks for the response and the screencast.

I'm not sure I can make your scenario work with what I have.

Are you able to open the link and download the design? I ask, because I've have a lot of trouble with sharing Fusion 360 links. This one in particular has given me a lot of trouble. It works sometimes, but not often.

I would be interested to see if you can reproduce the results of your suggestion based on a design of this complexity and length of timeline.

The attached screenshot shows the pipe in question.

The link works fine. I've seen problems with Win 10 Windows Explorer and recommend Chrome.

Can you elaborate what F1 and F2 are and maybe create a screencast so we have a better understanding where the problem is ?

@TrippyLighting 

Thanks again for responding.

Please see the requested screencast to further detail the issue I'm facing.

@David_Ewen , sorry for the delay - lots of all-day meetings this week.  It turns out that this is a very similar case to the one I illustrated in my screencast above.  See the screencast below for an explanation on your specific model.  I agree that this workflow is not easy to understand, but it is somewhat baked into the way that Fusion works.  Screencast contains audio:

Thank you for the screencast. That was an excellent explanation and guide.
