Been an AutoCAD user since the mid 80's (started designing on paper in the late 70's). I'm new to Fusion and get frustrated that drawing techniques I am so used to using in AutoCAD don't translate to Fusion! I am guilty of using offset/trim/extend and fillet way too often in my sketches because its what I'm used to, and of course you end up with the dreaded partially constrained sketch. I use Fusion for my home shop projects and 3d printing. I have watched a ton of Fusion tutorials on KZfaq (some good, many bad) but this one has been the most helpful by far because the "Why" was explained. Thank you and subscribed.

The "thumbs-down" are the people still trying to figure out why Fusion hasn't created an App they can just say: Hey Fusion, I want this. Such amazing video. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Enjoy your day.

Superb learning resource - thank you. Straight to the point, clear and well reasoned advice. I could watch endless videos like this (please!). I am a hobbyist and have taught myself enough to get designs done but they are horrible.....slowly I am learning how do do things right.

Thank you for this video - I've been using Fusion for several years, and the information given will greatly improve my workflow.

Good to see another video from Mr Fusion. The use of Parameters is a much easier way to draw for sure. Definitely helps to cut down on drawing time. Especially for more simple items.

Ooh the angle definition for those holes :) I likey ;) Some great tips in there thanks Aaron.

Constrained to the max... holds up hand and says "PRESENT". This was really good. I've been struggling with Fusion 360 to the point of (A) hating it and (B) realizing that the shortcomings are mine, not the software.

I'm learning Fusion 360. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.

Low voice level, which makes you turn up the volume and then greeted by screeming music after every point. Otherwise good vid.

Excellent video Aaron, really enjoyed the tips. Personally, I still struggle with the last one, I can never remember how to make the tangent arcs appear 😂.Ciao, Marco.

Hi Aaron, what a great enjoyable short and direct Tips video - nicely edited 👍 - you should go into the film industry too ! Great resource to always reference back too. Few tips I never knew about.

Great tip on rigid joint vs grounding

Az, A really concise vid mate👍👍 I saw ALL of my past ( and current 🥴) mistakes in there. No wonder my locomotive assembly design has a zillion items in the time line 😂😂 Regards, Robert

clear and instructive. Thanks.

First... and this is such a great video. Amazing work Aaron! Well done! 👍

you can edit the sketch as well. The parametric properties exist in the sketch.

I like to constrain everything in a sketch, but I oftentimes have issues with projections, where everything seems to be constrained but the sketch is marked as not fully constrained. And also sometimes the other way around, where sketch lines can be moved but the sketch shows the "fully constrained" icon in the tree view. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Another thing that bothers me is that it is really hard to fully constrain splines, so I tend to avoid them completely unless absolutely necessary. Is there a simple way to work with splines without needing to "fix" them in place?

ahh yeah we used that laptop stand in the past. it was hard for people to get the model properly constrained so that it wouldn't blow apart after changing the parameter. I think we still use that exercise now but mostly as an extra credit item so people don't get punished as bad :)

excellent ...Thank you

Nice one, thanks!

Good tips, i need to design a paperclip for the mother inlaw!

Aaron this is awesome. Thanks for the tips. -Ken

Loved this video Azza! At 17:40, you hit on something that I think I would have done messy construction lines to achieve (solution for angular placement of the circles). And Azza with Lars! Both in the same room. Great pic!

Hi, what I still find strange , is the fact that if the left side and the4bottom side of a rectangle is black (FULLY defined?) then why are the 2 opposite side still blue ? The only thing that is fully defined, are the starting points of the lines and their direction, but still not their lengths Actually they should colour them grey or something as long as they are not FULLY 100% defined Nice tutorials though thanks a lot.

Excellent! I’ll be keeping an eye out for blue lines in m’ sketches...!👍🤔 Question. At 14:18 you have a sketch that’s an 80x80mm square. You came out of the sketch and there were 4 wonky holes. Back into the sketch, and there are 4 points marked (centres of the holes?). How did you add those?! The constraint work makes sense, but I can’t figure out how you added those points...! (I also did “Technical Drawing” at school (although they called it “Graphic Communication”), so am much happier with a parallel motion/T-square!)

Had flashbacks to the early 2000’s club scene about every 40 seconds throughout this Fusion tutorial

Im in sydney wondering where your courses are at?

Regarding Tip #4.... is the file size really an Apples-to-Apples comparison. Your sketch that you did in the feature was only based on 5 items in the pattern where as the when done in the sketch, it was a pattern of 6 items. Just saying .... could this also make a difference in the file size. (I haven't test this).

Is there a way to change all instances of a parameter in a copied component? I am building a parts storage box with three drawers. Because I plan on making a few of these for different parts, I want the entire model using parametric constraints. Once I copy my first drawer (which took me for ever to get right) I want to change all instances of the DrawerHightOne to DrawerHightTwo. Is there an easy way to do this?

nice video Aaron keep up the good work i just mad air 492 pol air 32 vh-pvk it's on my channel

I am sorry to say but you are wrong about tip #4, it is possible to go back to the sketch and change the pattern. Both the number of holes and how the hole looks. There is a small pattern illustration at the center of the pattern, right click on that and you can change the number of holes. //Anders

Was looking good... until each of those chapter header graphics blared in. Had to stop. As a seasoned video and audio editor, the audio level and hard cut of those is very jarring and unnecessary.

..."I've performed the pattern within the feature...." You lost me.
