Issues exporting to STL or 3MF

I've run into an odd and annoying issue, that I hadn't experienced before.

I've been using Fusion for a while, and have been able to build up designs that might have multiple pieces or sections (bodies) to them. I used to be able to export just the selected parts as an STL and it worked fine.

 

However now, when I have a large design the has lots of bodies and such that am trying to isolate pieces at a time, it's exporting all the bodies as one. Hiding the bodies doesn't seem to matter any more. It seems to decide to take everything, or most everything then random parts. So the way I used to hide what I didn't want and export it no longer works.

 

This feels like it's a bug, and seems to be an issue that's been around for a while. If I can work with multiple bodies hiding and unhiding them etc. and it's fine I should be able to export them to an STL individually too. Now I have to export them all and use another program to cut off the excess of the STL.

 

If anyone has suggestions I'm willing to see if they work.

When you Save As Mesh the top level in your Browser, you can choose how your want the STL or 3MF file to export via the Dialog Box.
