Fusion
@fprico - I think we need some more information to help you. Ideally: video/screencast of what you are trying to do, along with some idea about what you are trying to achieve, and the design itself. It will be much more efficient to figure out what is going on if we have the actual data that you are working with.

no need to send the model if you are making progress again. Here is a short intro to Capture Position:
- Fusion keeps track of whether any components in your design have moved. It doesn't matter how they have moved (drag, Move Components, Align Components, Drive Joints, etc). As long as any component is not in its "home" position, the Capture Position Pending UI is shown:
- when this UI is shown, you can either Capture (left icon), or Revert (right icon). Capture inserts a Capture Position feature in your timeline that captures the current position of all moved components in your design. You can see if you roll before this feature that components will move. Revert returns all components to their last-saved positions (home, or result of the previous Capture feature)
- Certain commands in Design are classified as "position dependent". That means that the command can reference geometry from other components that depend on that component's position. For instance, projecting a model edge into an active sketch definitely requires the position of that component to be maintained, so that recompute is stable. If you invoke one of those position dependent commands, you will be prompted whether to capture the current position or revert to the last stable position. One or the other is needed in order to make compute stable.
Not sure if this helps in your understanding. Hopefully it does not leave you more confused.
