Thank you for this tutorial. It completed the information needed. It's a pity do not be able to create a kind of turntable for the object. I tried to divide the rotation in 90° sectors but each time there is a kind of zoom in/out ... the complete rotation is not considered as rotation and on top of this, when you are moving the mouse, of course you are inevitably doing it also vertically, and it's moving the object on it's X axis as well. To me, it's the only feature is still missing. For dynamic presentations it will be a great nice to have.

excellent presentation, I am however annoyed with Fusion, I cannot seem to use joints in animation workspace, I also do not see how, if even possible one can make objects transparent, and or highlight anY components. If anyone know how pls reply?

After using the Animation feature for about 3 weeks, I thought it was a brand new feature, as I encountered absolutely countless bugs. The most frustrating bug by far, is when I move a component to animate it in several motions across several axis, with "Split Transforms" enabled, after hitting OK, the component(s) will instantly teleport to a seemingly random place 50 feet away! This happens about half the time.
The Animation feature is also extremely lacking in functionality. It is extremely basic. It doesn't even copy "Selection Sets" over from the "Design" area. If I have 100 selection sets in "Design", I have to recreate them again in "Animation", which I find to be very poor programming. Also, "Align" would be incredibly useful in Animation. I have no idea why such basic functionality is missing.

why only students who are enrolled in a certain academic course are allowed to download student version of Autocad. What about those professionals who want to learn and switch their career in this field. How will they practice autocad after learning from any educational platforms available online. Autodesk should also allow others to download the student version software for free. Its a humble request.
