I literally just googled this last week and I wish I did this instead of performing a save as. It has made my life alot easier when copying geometry from one file to another. Great work. I only ask that when someone searches for how to copy bodies and components between files, this should come up first. It took a little longer to find than I would have liked. Great work Autodesk team.
Very nice video, just what I was looking for. By the way: any chance to get that framing nailer design file? I'd love to see how those complex design are structured. I think it's a great way to learn.
How would one go about creating variations of a body within the same file that are linked in a hierarchical manner. So for example you have MasterBody1, and then DerivedBody1.1 and DerivedBody1.2. If you change MasterBody1, then DerivedBody1.1 and DerivedBody1.2 both inherit the changes. However, if you modify DerivedBody1.1, then MasterBody1 and DerivedBody1.2 do not change. Then you could add more branches such as DerivedBody1.1.1 and DerivedBody1.1.2. By building a tree like this, one could explore a large design space in an efficient manner and be able to visualize all the variants throughout the tree structure. One could explore for example different sizes, different base shapes, different fillet or chamfer settings, many things and use the tree structure to explore. If you know a change is important you make it high on the tree, even at the root, it propagates to everything. However, if you are experimenting with a particular variant, you make the mod at one of the end points of a branch and only mode that variant. This allows one to explore a large design space in an efficient manner across various dimensions. Appreciate your coaching. I know there is the Derive command but this isn't what I'm looking for. Hopefully I've described what I'm looking for adequately. Seems to me many designers need to explore the design space efficiently so I'm thinking (hoping) there is some way to do what I'm outlining but after a lot of looking I can't figure it out. It's almost as if the MOVE/COPY button not only had the CreateCopy check box, but a 'InheritAndLink' Design check box.
The Tool Library could be further advanced. There is no need for scripts to create a tool holder to carry out simulations, more detail in the tool holder simulations, being able to choose the driven tool holder for Lathe, more power of choice when creating a lathe tool. In the Drills section in the speed and feed category, you can save the default peck. Being able to create subcategories for feed and speed of different machines. example: Mazak: you..., did... dmg: you..., did...
As a new user, you can talk at me all day. I don't care. Show me the problem and what the solution to the problem is. Why use derive? When would I need it? What problem occurs that makes me think "Oh this is when I use derive?" Why are you showing me how to use it before I care about it? Why don't you show me the solution, how great the solution is, and get me to understand why I am watching before talking at me for 5 minutes about nothing I understand or care. So why would I even use this feature, what does it even do? I sat here listening while typing this and first time I hear something about why I would bother with this is 5 minutes in. I don't care by then and I haven't bothered to retain anything you've already said because there is still no meaning in the tool. So inane.

I like the advantage of jig/fixture design as well as does and molds.
Excellent - short and to the point. Thanks.

Yes. That would be amazing. Also have the doc and WOC presets actually work a little better.
CANT select derive
Day 108 of asking for Dark Mode in Fusion 360
you can set the background color to a dark gray
Your dedication is amazing. I will join you on your adventures sir.

I couldn't agree more !
He literally gives you use cases for when the derive feature might be helpful throughout the video, with several at 3:45
