Help! - Bodies, Components, Sketches won't display, and model corrupted due to sweep/cut

[HarrisonClassic]

I have been working on a model over several months with no issues.

I did the upgrade this morning, opened my model and continued working. 

All of a sudden all of my artefacts aren't displayed. If I go into the time line are do an operation such as edit and extrude, it gives me an error suggesting the bodies don't exist..

If I create a new sketch and do an extrude it works and displays ( Body858 ) - but nothing prior to that displays.

I was able to go back to a saved copy and reproduce.

Created a Offset plane.

Created sketch on that plane ( profile for sweep)

Created sweep (cut) using above profile and path an edge of a body - no problems at all

Created another offset plane

Created same sweep profile as above

Created sweep but this time the path was along two lines that were from two bodies.

The cut operation went ok, then I saw all visible bodies take on a what looked like extra lines, some sort of corruption I gather, then all of a sudden nothing is visible and Ctrl-Z has no effect - from that point on the model is buggered.

Latest version of Fusion (this morning upgraded)

Hi sorry, appreciate your offer of help, but for IP protection I would rather not upload the model.

I managed to get a workaround by doing the sweep in separate sections rather than chaining the edges.

My suggestion would be that you familiarize yourself with Fusion 360 a lot more before engaging in IP sensitive work. The nature of your posts indicate that you are not familiar with some very basic recommended practices and there is a good chance that your models will become increasingly difficult to work with if you continue to work the way you do!

[HarrisonClassic]

You reply is not particularly helpful. Of course, always good to have the knowledge to do things aligned with best practice.

That said, If I can reproduce a series of steps using the standard interface features/functions of Fusion 360 and it results in the product not functioning correctly then that is a design flaw in the software - simple as that.

You did not share any data/model, so I cannot help you in any meaningful way.

That is complete and utter nonsense. You can also buy a car, forego any driving lessons ignore the recommended maintenance and then crash or otherwise damage the car or worse. That isn’t the cars fault.
