Thank you!!!! I'm 80 and have been struggling with understanding Fusion 360 for almost 3 weeks but it remained a very thick, almost impenetrable fog after watching 2-3 dozen other videos. That fog has now lifted considerably after watching this one.
I'm a bit late to the party, but big thanks to Jason for this super clear and concise intro to sketching - easy to follow along, and you really helped me get my initial bearings in Fusion360. Cheers!
that was so clear and helpful ! most tutorials just ask you to do stuff but don't explain the logic behind the tool so you don't know what you're doing. But your tutorial was perfect and really makes us confident about using the tool. thanks a lot !
Jason, best Fusion training video I have seen in years. Understandable, well explained. Can't wait for 3D Tuesday, may solve problems I have experienced on project for weeks.
Wow, I just started playing with Fusion 360 about 2 weeks ago. I was watching people make stuff and trying to copy them. One inadvertent click and I was lost. Slowly figured some things out. I wish I found this earlier. Lots of things now make sense. Thank you!
Jason is one of the best Autodesk presenters. Clear voice, good pace, virtually no verbal tics (uh, OK, right?) and absolute mastery of what he's talking about. I've been using F360 every day for a year and I learned some things from this "fundamentals" video. Mark me down as a fan.
Jason, Excellent, excellent video!!! The level of details you gave us blew my mind away, as you really nailed it, those are the details that as a beginner I was expecting to learn. You told us the "whys" and what to use for the different options you went through...again, excellent!!! Also, you gave us real life examples, not just theoretical ones. Please keep making great tutorials like these as that will increase the number of users of the software, and the more people use it the more we will benefit from sharing our experiences. Thank you very much indeed mate!!
I'm successively discovering better tutorials as I delve deeper into solving all of my questions about why my models continually devolve into chaos as I'm learning how to model on Fusion 360. My little misunderstandings about basic functions are becoming critical issues as my models progress/digress and right next to tutorials by Lars Christensen, this instructor's methodology answers so many questions in such little time. Great presentations.
Great instructional video Jason. Please continue these type of video's in the foreseeable future. This is what I needed because I was having trouble with some of the sketching in Fusion 360. I am transitioning from Solidworks to Fusion 360. Thanks.
Thomas Pointer welcome to Fusion 360! I made the switch from Solidworks myself. Hopefully, you’ve already found the Solidworks transition guide. It’s a gold mine of information.
Thank you for your lesson... Although I started the basics just a few days ago but still learned some new tips and methods you use to enhance the workflow...That was really helpful. Going forward to watching all series... Learning everything myself from skillshare and youtube... Thank You...
I truly appreciate how helpful you guys are. As a hobbyist I get to use the software free of cost and now you're going to give me free tutorials. You guys are awesome!!!
Excellent explanation, been new to Fusion 360 would be helpful if would hover over the picked menu folder a second longer so we can see from where the command/function originate.
Great video. The last part I learned a lot. And the recommendation that practice makes perfect does apply as I’m redoing a project of mine over and over, each time optimizing my sketches.
Why is there incconsistancy with the picking order of the parallel constraint? As shown in this video, the picking order is a "this to that" except for parallel. So when making the perpendicular or other constraint selection, the selection positions the first entity relative to the second. When creating the parallel constraint it positioned the second entity relative to the first.
Case in point. I'm following your video and at 44:00 min you select tan, circle and line and in your video it moved the box to edge of the circle but when i do it my circle moves to the box line... This is what I mean by constraints don't work the way I want them to work as I'm going.
superb video, superb teaching! watching this recorded.. onto the advanced sketching video... One question I wanted to ask: how to show/hide the plane axes thing to change the plane after erroneously selecting a different one?
Short answer is yes. You would very likely draw the line to split the circles in exactly half. That being said, there could be a reason why you wouldn't want it exactly centered. In this particular live stream, I was drawing things quickly and didn't pay too much attention to whether or not it was constrained the way I wanted because the principle behind what I was showing would be shown either way. Good catch though and great question!
Really enjoy your videos Jason. I'm watching them now because we have summer shut down. I may have a stupid question here but: Do you happen to have a video or some instruction on what order to constrain in. I've found that sometimes I have trouble getting the constraint to do what I want. For example I was drawing a complex shape and the top of it was 4" horizontal. I tried to constrain so the geometric line stayed mid point on the vertical construction line so it would be 2" on either side all the time. BUT when I hit it my model geometry moved so it was mid point on the construction line. I just find that I do not know the correct order to do constraints in so I know without a doubt that what I want to constrain is what is going to be constrained. right now I feel as though it's hit or miss. Or something I feel like I just got lucky and it did what I wanted. I'm new to fusion and have been learning when I have time but my job title has many hats so for me I just don't have time to sit there guessing which way to do it. If you can help with that I think it would help frustration that many other people have too. What I found kind of helped me was that I watched an inventor instruction video. I guess like you say in this video it comes down to engineers want defined properties and designers want to have a flexible canvas... I kind of need a way to define quickly. I hope my question makes sense.
Jason, I have recently learned that there are times when constraints are not visible on screen. I have also learned that some constraints are applied automatically, but I have not seen any videos or discussion of when we can expect those constraints and when they might not be applied. One example is when a small circle is drawn at the end point of a construction line. I once saw it demonstrated but not explained. I have seen situations where the coincident constraints are not visible at the center of the circle. In one case I was not able to see a horizontal constraint on a construction line. Was that a fluke? Or was that by design? Another example is the rectangle that has different constraints depending on how it was drawn. Your comment is to not stress over it but this leaves us wondering why there are differences in the constraints depending on how it was drawn. We seem to always be stumbling over constraints we did not anticipate. Would it be possible for Autodesk to create a comprehensive video on constraints that would take a deep dive into what can be expected from the software related to automatically applied sketch constraints?
Jason, what happened exactly at 51:53 where to top right corner didn't really look as except (I've heard that you said 'no'). All of a sudden it was tangent again and identical with the other. This 'error' happens often to me when creating a rectangle where I want to dd filleted corners. Have a look here: take.ms/vGCXP
select the projection (purple) and righ click to 'break link' and it becomes regular geomtery (blue) - but if you change the piece you projected from it will no longer update.
Lars is still at Autodesk and still making incredible things. His focus as of late has been on making the software itself better, which doesn't leave him as much time for making videos.
@@easyriderj Well I remember a video or two back when Brad was doing a stream and yourself was helping out in the comments when someone phoned him during the video but for some strange reason I got the impression it was yourself, it's something I'd have done myself! Am I bad?
@@MrCoffeypaul You must be talking about this: th-cam.com/video/SUUrpTzRSiY/w-d-xo.html. My microphone was muted by accident and Brad called me mid live stream to let me know. That was embarrassing! I was hoping no one would ever watch that part. So far, it looks like about 8,000 people saw it... It's ok. That's the kind of thing that happens during live streams. It's likely the reason so many people love them.
Thank you!!!! I'm 80 and have been struggling with understanding Fusion 360 for almost 3 weeks but it remained a very thick, almost impenetrable fog after watching 2-3 dozen other videos. That fog has now lifted considerably after watching this one.
Wayne, I am so glad I could help. Keep on going! Share your progress with me please!

I have searched and seen many sketch tutorials....this is by far the best. You are an excellent teacher, thank you!
I wish I had watched this live stream first. It would have saved me a year and a half. Thanks!
Very very very good. I'm a mechanical engineering and I have learned far more than one thing. Thanks from Italy!
12' into the video I can tell this is the best tutorial on Fusion 360 fundamentals on youtube, and I have watched quite a number of them
Thank you for your support!

Really good course and Teacher! Thank you
FINALLY! I video which I can understand and answers the questions I had about how to do sketching on Fusion 360. Onward....
A very appreciate recap with some new tips...thanks a lot Jason. Waiting for Part 2 ...stay safe :-)
Thank you! Glad you were able to join me again. Look forward to seeing you next time too!

Sorry for not seeing this much earlier. The order of your selection determines which some try moves and which stays put
Great job, I have learned a lot that will make life much easier.
Another really useful stream, thank you so much.
thank you very much Jason , really useful tutorial
Thank YOU!
Thanks great vid well worth watching ❤
Nice review. Thanks! Looking forward to the next one.
Great tutorial! Thank you so much. 👍

Another great video Jason, Thank you. Sorry I missed the live stream.
No need to apologize. The live stream time isn't always convenient for everyone. Don't forget: WAY MORE people watch the recording than watch it live
Thank you so mache dear for this perfect live
Perfect instructional video.
Super helpful ... (from a recovering SWKS user :-) )
Great tutorial, thank you!
Really nice! Thanks!!
excellent vid, even if you have experience in cad systems
Excellent meat and taters sketch primer.
At 54:40, the construction line does not pass through the center of the circle. Shouldn’t it?

I just added it to the list. Thank you for your feedback!

Have a look here: take.ms/vGCXP
can you turn projected geometry into modifiable geometry in one shot? or do you need to re-sketch over it?
select the projection (purple) and righ click to 'break link' and it becomes regular geomtery (blue) - but if you change the piece you projected from it will no longer update.
You can also turn off "Projection Link" option while selecting geometry.
Great lessons! Thank you
Thank you JC!
Excellent!!!

I noticed you don't move the mouse to the 3d cube to move around a 3d object. How do you do that? Thanks
Mateyhv1 I use my standard computer mouse and a 3D Connexion Space mouse. The space mouse is nice to have, but it is by no means necessary.
@@easyriderj thanks, I like how you manipulate it. Great tutorials, I learned way more than 1x things 😉

get to the point bro
👌 It would be interesting to hear your suggestions for making a line tangent to a spline curve? My understanding there is no tool to do this.
