Cant find out of date reference

This file shows an out of date reference, attempted update, but I still get...

"Warning: This design contains Removed components which are out of date. To complete the update, roll the history marker to before the earliest Remove feature and click the Get All Latest button"

(Can I read this as "roll back to beginning" just as well, or not? Regardless, this didnt seem to work.)

 

I have updated and saved (new rev name) all external references (also checked each referenced timelines advanced to end) but I still get the out of date reference warning.

 

Is there any method of finding out of date references?

Rolling the timeline back to the remove second from the end of the timeline gave me this. Clicking get latest updated correctly at that point for me.

That worked for me as well, thanks.

 

Words matter, and to me the message could have meant "anywhere before" the last remove, which could be the beginning of the timeline. The message should read "to just before the last remove feature" to be more accurate.

 

I guess it can only show the out of date ref. at a specific timeline point? Not sure I understand why timeline position matters.

 

Besides all that, it seems to me that if Fusion has the ability to tell you that you have an out of date reference, then it could also give a better idea about which reference that is. Am I missing something, and hoping for something that is just not very important to most people?

 

Thanks again...HD

In the past rolling the timeline to the very start then get latest has worked for me. Not sure if having the out of date design in a subassembly and you removed the whole sub assembly caused the problem here. 

 

Has come up before that Fusion should be able to automate this and do the update without rolling the timeline back and I think it's just another one of those features they'll fix when they have time based on priority. Took them a while(couple of years) to update derive so you got the option to open a derived design from the browser like you can a linked component, that seemed a pretty trivial update.
