    Since mid-April, we\u2019ve received a few reports from the community regarding an \u201cunresolved component\u201d error message. This means you were not able to open design documents containing externally referenced parts or derived parts, and the design documents themselves were stuck in an \u201cunavailable\u201d state.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are currently seeing a very small percentage of the community hitting this issue, but due the potential impact on your ability to access your design documents and potential data corruption , we want to make you aware and provide mitigation steps. To help reduce potential data corruption, we advise that you immediately <\/strong>follow the steps outlined in the support article.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our team is actively working on fixing this issue as quickly as possible, and this effort is our highest priority. We are also conducting a deeper investigation into the root cause of the issue so we can prevent it from happening again in the future. We understand that data access is paramount to you, as it is also paramount to us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this is causing to your work, and we will keep you posted on our progress. Thank you for your support and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Black Toolbar \/ Black Canvas Issues Fixed
    <\/strong>Some of you have reported that when you launched Fusion 360, you saw a black canvas or black toolbar, which prevented you from going any further. Sorry for this – we got a fix out and this issue should be resolved. Please restart Fusion 360 and get the latest update.

    If you tried the     work-around<\/a> that was suggested prior to this fix, it’s best to undo that work-around and remove the environment variable mentioned in the work-around.

    Improved! Thin Extrude now support Chaining selections<\/strong>

    Previously when you picked Thin as an extrude type in the Extrude command and selected an open profile, you were only able to select an entire curve chain, but was unable to select discrete curve segment of a chain.  Now when you do a Thin Extrude, you’ll see a Chaining check box (default is on), which will give you the option to turn off chaining, so you can select discreet curves as you see fit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
