Can't save design: The design contains references to other projects you can't access

Hello!

 

I suddenly cannot save one of my designs anymore. The error I'm getting is this:

 

The design contains references to other projects you can't access

 

When trying to update the design I get this:

According to the knowledge page on this subject, this is because my project references to another project that I don't have access to (which the error message also made clear). However, this is not true (it only references to designs in the same folder). The document was working just fine moments before.

 

When visiting the Fusion team page and going to the design references tab, as mentioned in the article, there are no thumbnails with the "Request access" button.

None of the thumbnails have a button (I also updated the one that has a new version available, to no avail)

 

This happened after the following things happened:

 

1. After a change in one of the electronic designs and updating a 3D design that was affected, Fusion 360 was non-responsive so I ended the task.

2. After starting Fusion 360 again, I tried opening the auto save backup but Fusion would hang each time I tried.

3. I restarted Fusion 360 again and renamed some other designs that this design was referring to (I assumed Fusion 360 links to IDs, not file names). This was not related to me trying to solve the problem but was something that was overdue.

4. I opened the design again and discarded the auto save backup. This time, the design would open but would complain about the reference.

 

I tried making a copy of the design but that gives me the same error.
