Component is out of date, and other problems.

julian.paphitis · ‎05-07-2021

Hi Folks, long story short, I opened up my design and I had a problem with a linked design in the browser with a message saying it was unresolved, or similar. I had not changed the design since last opening, anyway after much playing around I deleted from the browser with a view to reinserting. This is where I'm at:

If I open the design I get the messages shown in the attached. I don't understand the warning in bottom right. There is nothing in the time line to roll back to.
The offending design still thinks it's in the main design as shown on the left. It's not, I've saved as and deleted the original so not in older versions.
The update yellow warning triangle does nothing.

If I try to reinsert I get: The path C:/Users/Julian-PC/AppData/Local/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/TRW9P29GPN78/W.login/F/_XRef_/_R16_05T3_FSIDIN_305_371_0_023_E1_E81_10_E2_E10_10.8fc11a93-a3f4-4e9e-badb-e115107946ea_LV4.f3d is not a valid zip package.

Any help would be apricated.

The question is did you actually delete the component or just remove? From the error it looks like it's just removed so before the remove in the timeline it still exists. Seem to remember if you roll the timeline to the beginning you should be able to update the out of date component.

Hi Mark, I deleted, I right clicked on the Browser and deleted the design that was in an error state with the unresolved message. I guess that's confused it, it's not really gone.

There is no remove in the history tree. For good measure I just rolled the history back to the start and tried to update, no joy. It's go it's nickers in a twist for sure!!

Does running a compute all (Ctrl+B) throw up any warnings?

Just to let you know, I've also cleared the cache, fresh clean reinstall as well.

Are any of your inserted designs copies? Have you used Sava As to create a copy then modify?

Good question, so I had to revert to a previous version as originally it said there was a problem with the current. I think there was a dialog that said use previous version or something like that. That's what did.

That's not what I'm asking about. There was a problem in the past, if you made a copy of a design using Save As then inserted the original and the copy into an assembly you would get conflicts because both designs would have the same IDs for geometry. Not sure if this is still a problem but if you make a copy of a design it's best to use Save Copy As so you get a new unique version.

Ok understood, so no I've never done that.

Just noticed this on the Uses tab for the top level design. Notice the warning triangle, that's the original offending part. It says something about an out of date reference, can't see the complete message.
