Description
This learning guide provides an overview of the parametric design process using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Topics covered include understanding the Autodesk Fusion 360 interface, creating 2D sketches, creating solid 3D features, creating construction features, manipulating feature history, duplicating geometry, placing and constraining components, defining motion, creating components and features in a multi-component design, and documenting a design.
Fusion 360 Essentials
The Autodesk Fusion 360: Introduction to Parametric Modeling guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, you will learn the key skills and knowledge required to design models using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software.
Software Version
As a cloud-based platform, updates are frequently available for the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. This learning guide has been developed using software version: 2.0.6516. If you are using a version of the software later than version 2.0.6516, you might notice some variances between images and workflows in this learning guide and the software that you are using.
