Duplicating Component/body

[ralph5CPRY]

I am designing a tool that I want to 3D print. There is a spacer in the design  that I would like to duplicate and then change the height of. I have made a new component and pasted the original body in, but the parametric time-line only shows the past and move options so I can't edit the extrusion.

As is probably glaringly obvious I am very much a newbie following the Kevin Kennedy tutorials which have given me a great start. I have watched his tutorials in this subject, but I'm still confused.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

If you right click on the particular component you want to duplicate and select Save Copy As and place it on the Cloud, you can then insert it into the assembly, Break Link, and all the component parameters will be available.  If helps to make your special parameters favorites before use the Save Copy As command.  If you would like to attach your model someone can show you the process.  There are other methods that can be used but this one is easiest.

If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.
