[keqingsong]

V.2.0.12392

• If the time on your computer was set manually and was not automatically sync'd with a time server, a bug was preventing some instances of Fusion 360 successfully upload data. This is now fixed. 
• We fixed an issue where a bug in the offline cache workflow where it was preventing some of you from using the Product Design Extension. 
• CaptainBobSim reported and issue where Fusion 360 was crashing even though he was just creating a simple sketch. We discovered that it as related to how parameters worked. This is now fixed. 
• 1Macaddict told us that after upgrading to Monterey, his data did not show in the Data Panel until a new folder was created to prompt a sync. This is now fixed.  
• vrpostcard told us an issue where his manually rotated views on his drawing got reset after he updated his views. which lead to disassociated annotations. This is fixed. 
• Roland.Kalamar's report of how his new components were not showing properly on an updated drawing is now fixed. 
• We fixed a crash issue related to rectangular Patterns. 
• When you are running dual monitors and working on Fusion 360, the right-click menu of the Viewcube would appear on the other screen if the Fusion 360 window was right next to the border between the 2 screens. This is now fixed. 
• When processing through holes for select by diameter for a setup on the bottom/back of a part with a depth other than the full hole, what should be the bottom of the hole is partially being treated as the top. This is now resolved and through holes are no longer upside down.

V.2.0.12376

Usability

• We fixed an issue where Fusion 360 was crashing when you performed an undo operation after reordering a feature through the timeline.
• We fixed another crash issue that was occurring when you saved a design and then immediately returned to the home tab.
• Fixed on Mac: the expression of “File Name” was unexpectedly changed after clicking on the “Use machine configuration” checkbox in NC Program dialog.
• We fixed a few of the Learn More links for the Product Design Extension items listed in the Extensions dialog so that they are taking you to the correct places.
• Notification toasts are now working properly when you’re browsing in the home tab.

Modeling

• SaeedHamza, Autodesk Expert Elite member, reported an issue where the Insert Edge tool in the Form environment was showing the wrong preview for positive and negative directions. This is now fixed.
• We fixed the macOS related issue where Convert Mesh with “Organic ” method didn’t work when the operation was performed in Basefeature (direct modeling) mode.
• We fixed a number of issues found in the Geometric Pattern command, addressing things like missing manipulators, errors messages about missing target faces, U/V alignment wonkiness, as well as previews not being displayed correctly when you tried to move a component with the Move/Copy tool.
• We fixed a Plastic Rules issue where if you tried to switch the preset to Fusion 360 Default while you were editing a Draft, Extrude, or Thicken action that was previously applied to a design, Fusion 360 reset the value of Angle 1 to DA, but didn’t remove Angle 2 and change the Draft Sides to "One Side". Now it does.
• If you toggled a “negative” angle from a Driven Dimension to Driving, the angle unexpectedly changed for some weird reason. Now it will remain as is.
• One of our Fusion 360 Insiders reported an issue where a slew of incorrect icons were being shown when the Surface Loft command was being used. Sorry about that, those icons are now gone.
• We fixed an issue where Edit-in-Place workflows were failing if you tried to edit the parent component of the missing x-ref component.
• Apparently a crash happened when some of you tried to update out-of-date components in your designs. We dug into this and resolved the issue.
• We resolved some bug alerts that appeared when you tried to Save Copy As on certain missing x-ref components.
• Fusion 360 was incorrectly not letting you open older versions of a design is the assembly was containing missing x-refs. Now you should be able to open them again.
• There were a bunch of issues regarding incorrect values if you selected your user-define preset value first for Shell, Draft, and Extrude commands. This is now fixed.
• The Perimeter offset value In Geometric Pattern didn’t rest to zero after you unchecked “clear perimeter”. Now it does.

Electronics

• We fixed a few localization issues related to how wording was presented for DIP, DIP Sockets, DFN-3 packages.
• We fixed an issue where Fusion 360 would crash after you created + saved a 3D model from a footprint that was exported from Octopart.
• Apparently you pressed the Tab key on your keyboard, you were unable to switch between cells in the Package Generator dialog. This is now fixed.

Drawing

• For some weird reason, even if the missing x-ref was properly deleted from the Edit-in-Place workflow, Fusion 360 prevented you from creating a drawing. This is now fixed.
• A bug was causing CERs to grab the wrong macOS version numbers. Now it’s grabbing the correct one.
• A few of you reported that sending a drawing that was created from a previously saved template to Print was causing Fusion 360 to hang indefinitely. This is now fixed.

Manufacture

• Some parameters in FFF Print Settings were not properly remembered after you edited them; they reverted back to Fusion 360’s default values. Now they are correctly remembered.
• Also, edited print settings were incorrectly being selected when you canceled out of the select print setting dialog. This is now fixed.
• If you created supports for a SLM machine in Fusion 360 and exported setup with the “3MP scene export” tool as a 3MF, bringing it into another software such as Cura would reveal that the position of the support for the component was wrong. This is now fixed.
• We fixed an issue with certain turning profile finishing operations where the retract was a dog leg rapid move instead of a simple vertical move.
• There was a bug that was causing the “Activate” button for a given setup to become deactivate for no reason when you were in the middle of editing operations. Sometimes, if you tried to activate the setup after a redo/undo action, Fusion 360 would hang. We have squashed this bug and now activate setup should work as expected.
• jimmyjames213 posted on the forum about how the Additive Print Settings he changed did not save properly. This is now fixed.
• We fixed an issue for certain turning profile finishing toolpaths where the tool was incorrectly machining behind the part.
• We also fixed an issue with certain turning profile finishing toolpaths where the tool was gouging into the model while leading out.
• There was an issue with certain turning profile roughing toolpaths with back to front direction where they were gouging into the model. This is now fixed.
• We updated our kernel, which fixed fixed an issue with certain profile finishing operations using a round insert grooving tool that were giving a cam kernel error. Square Groove tool no longer cuts where it shouldn’t, lead gouge detection with part contour is now improved.
• The updated kernel also fixed an issue with certain turning profile roughing operations with canned cycle output turned on where X coordinates of the canned cycle profile were incorrect.

API

• tomas.bangoA2EPZ reported an issue about how the add-in he was using caused Fusion 360 to crash. We later discovered that it was using the ImportToTarget API method. This is now fixed and the add-in should no longer cause Fusion 360 to become unstable.

Thanks for the fixes.



For some reason in Design workspace the Undo and Redo tooltips are no longer verbose, they don't show what will be undone or redone unless the drop down arrow is clicked to show the list of steps available.  Screencast attached

Hi, 

I'm facing an issue that I cannot select profiles, looks like a bug, I tried to erase the the cache and restart the computer but the bug appears again? any recommendation? 

[seth.madore]

What do you mean "you can't select profiles"?

As an aside, it's typically better to start a new thread and list out the issue and provide all the information possible, it helps keep things organized and ensures that you get the level of attention needed. Threads such as this one tend to get overlooked more often than not...
