a bug or not?

[Anonymous]

There is some minor irritations I have when using Fusion 360, many of them have been for long time and I wonder is there some idea behind them i.e that they are features 🙂

Here is one

I just want fast to see the section to verify something. Selecting the section tool and it activates the old section? It has to be disabled to be able to select the wanted section.

Just want to view the section, not to create a new on, so cancel it. The old section is still active though Analysis should not be visible?

Analysis has to be toggled to get it back to normal.

What you describe is not a bug, you just have to adjust your process.  Do not turn off the visibility of the Analysis folder in the browser, turn off the individual Section Analysis entries.  Then when you want to view one, simply click the one you want, you can name then if you would like, to view it.  If you use this method, selecting the Section Analysis command will not turn on any of the previous views.  Take a look at the Screencast.

I use it often as you describe, however often there is also need just fast to view something I do not have a selection yet and do not want to make a selection for it.

The first problem maybe it is a feature / me misusing the Fusion 360 but what happens at the end, the Analysis is not active, but the cut view still is, I have hard time seeing that anything else than a bug. I hope that gets fixed at least, and maybe, just maybe they should consider my workflow also and make it so that previous selection is disactivated when making a new one or provide a fast viewing tool, that I really would prefer.

How about this one then Not really that serious, but irritating. This is maybe Mac specific. The Fusion 360 browser stays on top of Prusa slicer.

Though select trough is disactivated, it selects trough. How do you set it so that it only selects if it is visible?

not a bug - that is intentional.  Some commands (Chamfer, Fillet) force select through to be on.  This was done at user request, to avoid having to spin the model around to select back edges.

What is the select trough check box then?? I understand if it is checked it is possible to select trough, but if it is unselected why is it still selecting trough.

Also it seems each tool have different selection.

I just do not understand, but here is an user request. Provide a mode where only visible things can be selected. That is the only way I want to use it. I have a space mouse and easily can rotate the model as needed and cut the view if needed or isolate the body etc.

in 2019, we briefly introduced a bug where this select-through behavior was disabled for Fillet/Chamfer.  The outcry was deafening.

I still completely do not understand. There is a selection for it. If someone wants to see trough he selects so, why would you disable the possiblity to uncheck this feature? and if you do so why do you leave that option in there to be unselected? Different tools clearly have different selection, so the user interface is there. You are just doing something else than what the user has selected, why?

Get latest just does not work. It gets the latest version, but components are on wrong place. This is getting really irritating. What is going on. It started acting like this several updates ago.

After update looks like this

But it should be like this

And not only did it not get the latest as it should, but broke a part of the model. I guess I had made a sketch on the imported component. What is going on. BTW last time this broke my model completely. It was a day additional work to recover it via saving to STEP etc. Now I was more careful, and know to look for it, so did not save it. But what a frustration. 

Broken body after update, this body is on the main model, to what the boom installation is linked to. It is the holder of the boom installation

This is how it was before updating the linked boom on the main design

I guess I have to save it again as STEP and use couple of hours to make everything right and just stop using linked files as they just do not work as expected and cause enormous problems. That is, if I delete the linked model to relying it, also on that case it destroys my model like above.

This has started some months back. As this model was fixed via saving as STEP, I do not think it is my model that is broken, but just some new Fusion 360 feature that I do not understand.

Here is what I do and what happens. The update takes long with unwanted result. How is this wanted feature or user error as I have been told before. This started few months ago after some update.
