Working offline: Project cannot be deleted

Anonymous

If i want to delete a project in offline mode, then this option is not available.

As soon i go back online, the option delete is available and deleting is possible.

 

This also happens if i create a project offline. Only after switching back to online mode, deleting is possible.

 

Is there a usefull/comprehensible reason for such behaviour?

I think any sort of project-level management is unavailable in offline mode.  Mostly, it is a limitation of the amount of information that is cached locally.  Only the offline designs themselves are cached on your local machine, not the project or folder structure.  So, you cannot create or delete projects or folders, or create milestones, etc.  It's just a question of not wanting to duplicate all the cloud data management operations in the app.  Not likely to ever change, in all honesty.

Hi Jeff, thanks for clarification.

Yes, i agree, offline mode is somewhat of a mystery...and in addition a bad implementation.

Why?

I realized that Fusion 360 would NOT start without an internet connection and thus i don't understand the offline mode at all. But this is another topic. For me this behaviour is a no go and i have to use other options.
