Episode 09, Drawings in Fusion 360

Watch Brad Tallis from Autodesk walk you through different methods on using Autodesk's Fusion 360 CAD tool.

In this LiveStream, you will learn some tips on creating Drawings inside of Fusion 360.

Excellent video! Clear and succinct explanations. Very rich content. I learned a lot of very useful information about drawings.
As someone who learned "drafting" in high school and college using a T-square, triangles and compasses (and an electric eraser) in the sixties and seventies, I continue to be amazed at the capabilities of Fusion. You're an extremely good instructor, Brad. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Very nice and gentle introduction to F360 drawings, thank you.

Excellent videos. Your examples really show the particular feature that you are explaining. I 've been watching them at 1.5 speed and I just loop back if I missed something.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. As a woodworker/furniture maker, I'd like to see video(s) on using Fusion's capabilities for joinery of components. Thanks again.

That was really a great video, I learned a lot. I'll have watch this one a few times before it starts to sink in.

Great Video, Showed me a lot of stuff I've been trying to get to work, best drawing YT video out there. I use drawing a lot as I've only got manual machines so like to print out of designs as drawing and then make them manually.

Great video, please consider making a video about GD&T, tolerances, etc. and how to show that in drawings.

Hi Brad, thanks for the tutorials, really informative. I have a couple of topics that I would like to raise. Firstly, I work in bespoke joinery/ furniture design and I currently use Inventor with the 'Woodwork for Inventor' add in, Which allows me to automatically generate cutting lists and machining details for standard items of ironmongery etc. So my topics are, is there a way to generate a full cutting list with Fusion 360, not a parts list, but the length, width and thickness and material of the panels etc that could be exported to Excel? Also, is there a way to create standard parts/ components that can be inserted into assemblies etc like an AutoCAD block, and can that block/ component have intelligence built in so that it would cut/ sculpt material like drill holes, mortices etc? The issue I have is that I am starting a new job in couple of weeks and they are using Pytha (!!) and there is no way they would write off that investment and consider switching to Inventor/ Woodwork for Inventor, but given the competitive price tag of Fusion 360, if I can put a strong case forward, they may consider switching. Cheers.

Is there a way to add dimensions on isometric views? That other software supports it and I wonder if Fusion will at some point as well. :-)

[martinkoetje]

Great video as always. I need to put welding symbols in my drawings, do you know of a way to do this?

[rwilson]

how do i get a part that is at an angle to plop in orthographically?

[agmeg]

What if I need to place a specific isometric view. How can I do? The system has predefined ones only

Brad what happened to edition no5 it does not show on youtube

Hi Brad
Looking to make a 3D Wallet which would have credit card slots inside on one side, if for instance there was four slots going down one side for the cards and each slot was 1mm thick and had to join at both sides and the bottom to the slot above it, i cannot see a way of attaching them to each other yet remaining quite thin on the end product
Is the only way to add a "U" shaped part to each leaf/slot, as in say a leather wallet the edges would be either stuck or sewn together

[dalecollison]

Great Video! I have created my first template. I would really like the tables to add the child components. How do we request Autodesk to jump onto this as my drawings have a very large number of small components, washers bolts, nuts, rivets etc and we need to know exactly how many. I know we can bring in the parent assembly view as a work around and then add a table from that but it still doesn't give me an overall amount unless you physically add them up. eg 56 assy's with 8 bolts 16 washers 6 rivets etc. I am trying to take human error out. Look forward to your thoughts Brad :)

Some time ago I got possibly to print direct from the drawing. It works also now, but Fusion ask for a folder. When I hit return the drawing is sent to the printer. What is the reason. Fine lesson off drawing
