Insert into current drawing is inserting a broken version of the file (it's not the same and items are located incorrectly)

Hi there. 

Firstly, totally new to CAD and Fusion 360, so please excuse any ignorance.  I'm using Fusion 360 on a Mac (just for background).  I have two files, one called pipework the other called mix tank.  I am trying to insert Pipework into the current design, but own I do the file is incorrect (i.e. several items are orientated incorrectly and positioned wrong).

I have cleared cache (from the menu) but nothing seems to fix it.  When I look online at the file, it appears correct, it's only when I attempt to insert it into another drawing that it inserts incorrectly.  

Here is a screen shot of the drawing.:

Anybody got an idea as to why this is happening and more importantly how to fix it?

Thanks 

Chris

Here's a bit if irony!  If I right click on the Pipework file and select "New Drawing from Design" it works perfectly.  Go figure.

Hi,

1. A drawing is a derivation of 2D views of the design

2. Please share the file for reply

Hi there Gunther.

After 24h it appears to have righted itself.  I followed your steps to break links and just thought I would check again to see if it's doing the same thing, but now it's inserting the correct drawing.  I made sure I cleared caches etc. and synced (I checked online version of the drawing and it was correct, so I don't know why time has corrected the issue.  Do you know if there's a 'lag' between saving a file and syncing, and when the file fully updates?  Given it now works, I don't want to waste your time (and I appreciate your time responding).  I ran this process a dozen times on Friday on two different laptops and ended with the same result, so not sure why it's now fixed but I'll take it! 

Thank you

Chris
