@@TravisDavids You are welcome, Travis. I'll try to throw a few $ your way once I am able. Any tips for modifying the image once the .svg is already imported?
Ok, this is a great 101 video, but it gets messy beyond what you should here. Great for dropping logos in at non-precision, but how to bring a part in that has specific physical dimensions. I cannot find a way to scale the svg after the first - only - chance when you first bring the svg in. You can set the scale once, on entry, and that is it. Seems like a lot of hit-and-miss to get things scaled correctly in F360.
Quick AI tip for helping me make my logo 3d: You can use the regular selection tool (black arrow) to select that gear. 1) You can double or triple click on the object (depending on the grouping). 2) Or you can select the whole thing, go to object and ungroup. It'll be much faster and easier than searching for the sublayers.
THANKS I have used this method to create objects. My problem is I have tried to turn these images into clay cutters. I have had problems converting complex images. Can you tell me how to draft edges, so the cut edges are sharper? Thanks in advance.
Hi T, is there a way you can scale the SVG file to an exact dimension (X/Y)? I see you can scale but I don't see a way to scale to exact dimensions or snap the scale in any way.
I've found that imported SVG files are automatically scaled down to 2/3rds their original size in Fusion 360. It's not the best workaround but I just scale my vectors 133.33% of the actual size I want them to be before importing.
@@axmpssm61 There's an easy trick to scale SVGs to the exact dimensions. In Illustrator, select your illustration, click Transform and make sure "Constrain Width and Height Proportions" is enabled. Then take either the width or height of your illustration and divide by 0.75 or 75% (both work). It takes care of the infinite 3s in 133.33333.
How did you get back to your sketch at 6:34? Every time I extrude one of my sketches, the other sketches disappear. I tried to follow your mouse but it seems like you used a keyboard shortcut. Thank you.
Hi Z Dawson, i used the undo command on my keyboard to jump back in time BUT sketches disappearing after extruding is VERY common. If that happens, on the left side by "bodies", you'll see a category called "sketches" just click on the drop down arrow next to it and find the sketch you were busy with last, its always the last one on the list and just click on the lightbulb icon to unhide the sketch.
Thanks for the video - great share. I am using Inkscape to create the .svg and simple text is not coming into Fusion 360. Is there something I am not understanding? There are no advanced save options in Inkscape, I am wondering if there is some setting I need in creating the .svg.
mate your videos content is great but can you please try not to move your mouse so vigorously it is very hard to watch you talking with your hands but thanks for vid.
Travis Davids hi quick question when i extrude parts of my svg the other parts disappear? How do you extrude the next part like you did with the text? after you extruded the bird? Thanks great video
After you extrude an SVG the first time, Fusion assumes you're done with it even though you might not be. All it's done is hide it in the Sketches section of the browser, simply turn it back on to make it visible again.
Lekker, can’t hide that accent bru 😀. Nice channel and good library of content. Looking forward to working through it. Not many useful S.A. TH-camrs, so well done!

That was the most comprehensive video explaining the Illustrator to Fusion capabilities. Many thanks!
Thank you so much, i appreciate the kind words.

A tip : watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Winston Huxley yea, have been using Flixzone} for since december myself :)
@Winston Huxley Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE WORKED WITH SVG FILES BUT NOT IN CONJUNCTION WITH FUSION 360. I am very excited about this process. Thank you so much.

Thanks that was very useful especially about getting the image/svg files instead of drawing out the object in Fusion 360...Laurie

Thanks Travis ! Very clear and helpful !
Thank you very much, trying my best to hopefully explain something useful.
Incredible video and beautifully taught! Very helpful for me, thanks!
This was very helpful thank you
Thank you for this guide on svg files! I needed to watch this for another project
Btw I subbed due to how clear this guide was.
@@lucajo16 thank you, truly appreciate that!
Very cool
Is it possible to put dimension on the imported SVG's? I am having a hard time getting the scale to match the exact dimensions I would like.
thank you sir it is very useful for design.
Hey Travis can u tell us where is the best channel or courses to learn fusion 360 please?
Great video, thank you very much!

@@rtql8d Thanks for the tip. I also find it annoying an svg cannot be scaled to exact dimensions. There has to be a way.

Fusion released an update (July 17) that addresses this issue. You now have the option to disable sketch auto hiding on extrude
I have run across the same problem with errors when you try to Bevel the edge of an object created from an SVG. Did you find a way to work around it?
Instead of svg, try exporting/importing .dxf (AutoCad Interchange File), I found it more reliable.

Hi, thanks for the kind words, i wish i could offer assistance here but i have never used Inkscape before.
Ok - I should be able to get access to MS Illustrator and will try from there.
Simple text will not work. You should first convert your text type into Outline. That way your text is now a vector graphic.
Thanx! very useful !!! Peace!
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
How about using INKSCAPE? it is a svg program.
any .svg should work. Inkscape is a great little free program.
Why wasn't the filet working?

Thanks man, yup, this has been mentioned in the past and i don't do this as much with my newer tutorials

Dude, you move way too fast and too much unnecessary clicking.
