Disable click and drag Bodies

[simonjohnlacey]

I've been trying to find a solution on the forums to disable click and drag bodies, and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer.  The accepted solutions seem to be "you can ground some things".  Is there a way just to disable the click and drag feature all together.  There has been more than one moment where I click to switch components (and apparently miss the little button) and secretly fusion moves a body and destroys all of my alignments, but I don't find out for half an hour and the move is not registered on the timeline so I cant just suppress.

1. Selection filters

2. Individual: Selectable / Unselectable

Hey that's fantastic.  Personally I wish there was a way to just turn it off and on like 3D sketching but this will do for now, Thanks man!

Simply activate or deactivate bodies in the browser.

Totally, that's what I'm currently doing. I just don't like the click and
drag bodies feature. But I still have to move things around occasionally
or select things to merge so its a lot more clicking. I don't see a big
reason for click and drag apart from checking joints out, you know?

Hi,

Use joints, then there is nothing to move and everything remains where it should.

Also, be aware of this "Capture Position Pending" UI in the upper right hand corner of the Fusion screen.  It will tell you whether you have inadvertently dragged a component  (note:  You refer to "body" here, which is not correct - you cannot drag a body, only a component - I only mention it because some people get confused by the difference between a body and a component, and it is important to understand the difference).

whenever this UI appears, just click Revert to put everything back in its home position.

I do agree that there should be an option to disable component drag in a parametric design.
