Thanks! So, Component Names can obviously be "empty" (no body associated); Can you also choose a body and give it a component name by using the same function and just choose "from body"? Also, love that you used McMaster Carr hardware in that assembly lol!

Instead of copying that loop length number every time, is there a way to give the "loop-length" and expression name (such as B2=loop_length) and then in the "pattern on path" function you input "B2" so that a true automatic update happens when the sketch changes? Basically like NX does, every expression has a name

Thanks Brad!

A third way to do this would be to start with your two offset planes. Then chamfer the corner. Instead of splitting the body, use the offset planes to split the face of the chamfer. That just use push/pull on the face you want add the deeper chamfer. No need to split the body.

Thank you Brad...I continue to learn from your teachings.

Learned a lot from a 6 min vid!! Both options are a great option. The split body is powerful. Thanks again.

I like how you chose 2 different ways to do this, I'm always looking at how am I going to machine this, which in most cases is very different from how would I print this. Excellent tutorial as always!

Thanks...great tips are much appreciated

👍🏻

thank you soo much Dear Brad always always great to learn from you. You have exceptional talent to teach. Really love the way you teach

Another great tutorial. Didn't know about referencing an existing dimension. 🙂 Have a great Christmas. 🎅

You are a Great teacher, my go to when I need to know. Thanks

Great stuff Brad. Keep them coming

Thanks,Brad

great video

Thank you.

Another good one thanks.

Thank you so much for an excellent video and a lot of good tips. I really enjoy your knowledge and nice tone as well.

Great tutorial as always Brad 👌 Keep them coming! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

For method #2 you didn't need to create the plane. You could have put the sketch on the end and then offset the extrude (same distance as you put the plane).

Thanks! Useful as always.

Thanks for the today's tips, Brad. HANWE and Merry Christmas 🙂

I didn't know you could do multiple chamfers in the same operation. Great tip. It's been awhile since I used Fusion 360. But I seem to remember that you can split a face with a plane. Could you do it this way? Create the 2 mm chamfer on the full Edge. Create the offset planes. Split the face of the 2 mm chamfer with the offset planes. Push the center portion in 2 mm. Create the fillets.

Good tutorial, however not real world. Try getting a toothed belt with an odd dimensional spacing (tooth to tooth) in either metric or imperial as well as unique length.... not gonna' happen.

I'm curious how long that took, even on the VM2. That was a nice long toolpath ;)

Cool! How did I miss this channel?! I have to watch ALL the Fusion content!! You're my Lars substitooot ;)

That tip at 6:30 was so useful. The amount of times I have tried to select a face with layers of sketches in the way…

I nearly didn’t click on this because your thumbnail doesn’t indicate it is about Fusion. There are a lot of CAD programs that I don’t use so maybe next time a hint would help get more views.

You found a good example ( a toothed belt ) to show how this feature can be used 👍👍

It's a shame you can't get that loop-length a better way. It would be nice if when dimensioning you could chain the dimensions of the line to get the total length. Yeah, you could add dimensions to each segment and then create the loop-length dimension by adding them all together (meaning it would update automatically when you edit the sketch), but that's a bit clunky.

Great video. I love your un-rushed tutorials, it makes learning so much easier, thank you. I actually need to work out the number of teeth on a belt I need to order, but did not know how best to do this. I have the pulley diameter’s at each end, and the length between the pulley centres. I have provision to adjust this length to set belt tension. It’s a GT3 belt, so 3mm teeth with a 3mm pitch spacing. Based off your video, how do I get the number of teeth based on a 3mm centre to centre of each tooth? I’m assuming I can’t use a fixed distance in my sketch, I need the tooth count to drive that length? Thanks for any advice you may be able to share.

Hello, sir, is there any TOIROIDAL BEND like feature? as we have in Creo software to create tyres.

Congratulations Brad!! Best of luck to you. You’ve gotten me over the biggest humps in my Fusion learning curve

Always something new to learn! Thanks Brad.

Every Friday You make the CAD easer for us..... thank you

Great video, though I thought you were gonna have some neat trick to have the loop length auto feed into that parameter. Would have been cool! ;)

@0:35 Why did your first circle outline turn black, yet the second circle outline stayed blue? Thank you.

Great video! Could the loop_length parameter be referencing the inspected loop length of the sketch? Fully automatic :D

Hi Brad, because I watched the other video today, this one popped up where you mentioned the sketch checker plugin. Apparently it's not in the app store today. Could that be and do you know of any other alternative? I haven't come across any. Thanks! Edit: Or should I just use the line check procedure?

loop length !!

Excellent! I knew most of what you covered related to pattern on path, but the trick with loop length and parameter use was extremely helpful. Thanks, Brad!

I assume you would have showed this if it were possible: can you avoid hard coding that loop length in by referencing some dimension?

you might consider another scenario which is the distance between the tooth i.e. .080" or .0816 I believe are used with small belts and pulleys.

Thank You Sir! Very clear and easy to follow. Much appreciated.

My brain started to heat up during this one. Surfacing is still beyond me. But I’m excited to get there soon.

Great information! Definitely leaned some great time savers and your bonus tips are always awesome.

So expanding on this tutorial, what if I need 1) the teeth and space widths to be exact; and 2) the teeth count to be calculated automatically based on the path length. How would I do that?

Buongiorno apprezzo molto i tuoi tutorial su Fusion 360 dandomi la possibilita ad imparare ad usarlo . Se possibile per Lei editare i video anche in italiano . Buon lavoro

Always look forward to learning something on Friday morning. How would you have handled cog spacing? Change belt length till it ended with a specified number of spaces?

Another great tutorial! I love the bonus tips! I've never even noticed the three point rectangle! Much easier than drawing lines and adding perpendicular constraints! Clicking on a measurement copies it?! No one's ever told me that! lol Thanks Brad!
