Some parts not appearing in drawings - red box instead

Since the recent update I have some parts that are not showing up in the drawing views. Instead, it's just an empty red box. It was working before and I haven't changed anything about the design. If I change the drawing view to "shaded view" it shows a truncated image of the body, but still with the red box. What's going on?

Here's another example with screencast - just one part in this assembly fails to show up.

Do you notice that there is a pending update in your drawing?  Not that this will help but it is something you want to do to solve it.  Could you please attach this assembly to a reply post.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Hi John, thanks for your reply. It's a brand new drawing so it shouldn't be out of date, right? Here is the assembly file. It's the "tone board" part that's not showing in the drawing for me.

Occasionally when creating a new drawing, the out of date warning will appear due to the fact some change is pending in the model, this is not your issue I am afraid.  There is something about the geometry that will not create a 2D drawing for Tone Board component.  I have not figured it out and I am hoping someone else can.   I will continue to look at it but I have tagged one of the Autodesk specialist that may be able to help.

 

@ClintBrown3D, I hope you can take a look at this one, it has got me scratching my head.

Hi @ruwan6EAP9 

 

It seems "Fillet 4" & "Fillet 5" in Component "Tone Borad:1", After deleting this 2 fillet, drawing views are generating correctly.

Can you check these 2 fillets are modeled as per your requirement?

 

Refer Images, also attaching F3d after modifying.

Thanks all for your help and input. I had an Autodesk Support call this morning and was told that development has been made aware of the issue, can reproduce it on their end, and they are working on it. 

 

Thanks @nemadec for pinpointing those 2 fillets. They are in the previous REV of the design that was released for production, so I don't want to remove them for this REV. I think my workaround will be to create the drawing without those fillets, export to auto cad and add them at the dxf level. Let me know if anyone thinks of a better workaround until the bug is fixed.
