Project does not want to open external reference (maybe corrupt simulation)

Project does not want to open external reference (maybe corrupt simulation)

Hi Everyone,

 

I've been working on a camera rig project for 3 days now, i could always open the project.

Now suddenly i can't open it... It say "Fusion isn't able to open this design ATM"

 

When i try and open it from my pc i get: 

"Error: New design cannot be created from a local file containing external reference
 

When i try to export it as a fusion file i get the same result...

Why does it say that? I am a Team of one, and imported every used asset to that team

 

It still appears in the recent data tab... Tried reinstalling fusion, loggin in & out

 

After some browsing on the forum i was able to open in by importing it to a new design (not my favorite solution but it worked).

 

I shut down fusion again and upon startup i get the same problem as before...

 

I read something about corrupt simulations causing almost the same error (I Started a simulation but didn't go through with it, didn't get any errors though, i already took it out)

 

I can open the project in offline mode

 

What could be the problem?

I'm running out of things to try... Thanks in advance

 

Nuno

You mentioned you can open the model (you call it a project) in Off-Line mode.  If so, did you select the File menu and then Export and save it to your local drive?  If not, try this and then go back on-line, open the file locally and then save it to the cloud.

I tried that but i get :

[cid:314af4c6-fe0a-44b9-83d8-522faf3c5f4e]

If i open the file offline, then go online and try exporting it i get:
Fusion Team Error Message Export from fusion failed, please retry later.

Also it's telling me an other team member edited it, but i'm alone & never did collab folder/project...

Any idea what i could do next?

Also when i try and download it via the fusion online hub 

 

I get the strange error i need editor access to all files of the assy, i checked in the project and folder structure and i am admin on all folders except the ones fusion premade... (and even there i am still editor...)

 

Is there something i'm not seeing?

 

I also wanted to send you the view link but even that gives me an error...

Hi there, check my additional posts in my topic.

 

Still haven't found a solution, even if i want to save a copy (from a component in the file) it gets corrupted
