Fusion isn't able to open this design (missing component)

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I got this error when I try to open my latest version. Previous version works fine but I've added quite a lot since that. I've already know what causes the problem. Yesterday I've added a component to my design which was a strange Autocad drawing 3D model. Fusion started to convert it in the cloud and when it finished I saw it in the project folder. I pasted it to my assembly without uploading it. I remember when I closed Fusion it warned me that I have data to open or something. I just exited it and closed Fusion. Now I don't see this converted part in the project folder but I assume the assy is looking for it. In browser I can view my latest design and It is missing that part. So I'm sure this is the problem. I could try one thing. I've opened the missing component again and this time I uploaded it. Unfortunately the assy can't find it regarding it's got the same name and location in the folder. (I assume the internal reference is unique)

I've already tried to delete cache and F folder.

Best solution would be to open the latest design somehow and replace the missing component with the new.

@Anonymous In your main assembly, in the browser, I believe you can right click on the missing reference component and remove the reference. Once this is done you can now insert the file that you need using the proper Insert command and you should be good.

Thank you! Actually the solution was pretty easy. I had to go back a folder from the assy to the project folder and there I could locate the trash folder which contained the missing component. I just restored it and everything looks good now. Thanks again!
