Body shifts after clicking OK in scale, move or align

[tech3QERX]

Hello,

I am quite new to Fusion 360. Its quite easy to learn mostly and it is great fun to work with it. Yet I stumbled over a  issue I can not quite understand yet. 

I had a problems now often with scaling, moving or aligning an component or object. It seems while in the operation the preview is ok. When I click OK the operation seems to shift. Like for example a move looks ok in the preview but when I click ok the position changes suddenly. Same with scaling. I do a scale and preview is ok. When I click the OK button suddenly the position of the object changes.

Has anyone seen this and can explain what I am doing wrong? It seems there is some sort of error in what is active and what origin it uses or maybe some previous operation that was not done correctly.

Thanks, kind regards

it is hard to say without more information, but it could be that you have an uncaptured component position in your design or something similar.  If you share a screencast and an example model that shows the problem, it will be easier to help figure out what is going on

Most of the commands you like will cause some sort of movement.  The Scale command has a dialog box option to select the point you want the body to scale about, everything else will move from that point.  I suggest you create a Screencast to show the forum users exactly what your issue is.

Thanks for the replies! It seems it was indeed the case with the captured position. After getting those correct terms a search gave the solution. One has to select the capture position when doing the operation.
