Move tool seems buggy?

When I try to say revolve a body with the Free move option it's very difficult now to select the desired handle just by clicking on it. Using the keyboard tab key will cycle through the move options though. Any clues please?

 

It's driving me nuts.

Start Move, 

Set what to Move in Dialogue. (Body)

Select Body.

Click - Set Pivot.

Set Pivot Point and Confirm Pivot is set.

Move.

Thanks for reply. 

If you see in the picture, clicking on say the revolve handle it's hit and miss whether it highlights to indicate that is selected. It may randomly select one of the other handles such as the XYZ arrows instead. It's only been acting like that very recently. It is behaving buggy on both my pc's.

 

Thanks again for the reply.

Please create a screencast so we can see the behavior,

I cannot reproduce this on 2 rather different PCs and a 2017 MacBook Pro.

When I first started using Fusion (360) I was told by a very wise man " Don't use "Move" unless your life depends on it...and even then ...DON'T!"

 

I haven't always heeded his advice but having said that I didn't even know free move revolve was an option....Let me see if I can replicate after current task

If only we all had access to a "very wise man" before we embarked on actions in life.

Hi.

I've attached an MP4. Hopefully you can open it and see that when I'm trying to highlight a revolve handle or specific XYZ arrow by clicking on it, it invariably stays on it's existing direction indicator.  I've only recently had this tool behaving like this and youtube videos appear to show the tool behaving correctly. 

 

Grateful for any help with this.

 

Cheers

I can see the mouse cursor looking different than usual. Is that due to the screen recording software?

For example, in Fusion, the pointer does not change to a hand, or at least it's not supposed to.

I have the same problem, cursor change to a hand. The move tool when inserting an SVG or a Canvas has the same buggy behavior. The bug appears after the update to the May 2024 version.

I have reported it but they have yet to reply. It might be worth while you reporting it too so they know it's an issue.

 

Cheers

I am having the exact same problem.... anyone find a fix yet?

I believe I might have been the original poster. If you go into preferences, About the third menu item is graphics driver, I selected from the drop down menu DirectX 11. That cured it on one of my PCs. Unfortunately, the drop down menu on my other PC did not have that DirectX version option. Consequently I have the same problem there. Each "fix" on the net resulted in a dead end (as I'm sure you are finding)

I had someone from the Fusion team look at my report but they ended up closing the case. I think they are not that bothered really by the odd report similar to this. Try the different graphic driver options from that menu, reboot after each selection and see if it sorts it. Hope you get it sorted as it just drove me nuts.

I made the change you recommended and it worked for me.  Thank you very much... I felt like I was playing a slot machine and was hoping to stop on the right spot every time LOL

 

You have saved the day.  Hope you have an amazing holiday season and thanks again!

Same to you.. from the UK. Most satisfying to know I helped someone with that. Have a great Christmas and new year yourself.
