Fusion 360 Joints - Confusing or Easy? Vote down below...

Tyler, your video explanation is the best!
There are some tutorials that are too long or too boring, covering too many features into a single video, instead, break them apart into short videos.
Seriously, I watched many other F360 tutorials, and none of them goes straight to the point, covering so many features within 8 minutes, yay!
Keep doing the good work, you got the talent to teach! Subscribed!

This is a good video for people coming from SW. I liked it!

[kenw]

excellent comparison Tyler. working in both F360 and F360. the DOF jointing in F360 makes perf sense.

[AlbertoMazarro]

This has bien a great help... Thanks a lot

[thenamelessone]

EXCELLENT tutorial! Just what I needed!

[gillisdebilio]

I did a little bit of moving parts but not enough to be a pro. That was a great lesson.

[ciderhat]

I dont know why autodesk made assemblies so unnecessarily complicated...

[alexchao]

[paulmace]

Love it. I keep forgetting to use the Ctl key to get access to the inside. Thank you!

[johndagg]

Great example with everything well explained! Thanks!

Great video on F360 joints....
I have designed in SolidWorks since 1998 and Fusion360 since 2017 (just under 6 years). I despise the joints concept compared to mates in SolidWorks. It is simply awful. Maybe someday F360 will offer something similar to SolidWorks mates.

After 5+ years fiddling with is still telling me: "you just have to get used to it, it's different". I laugh at them. Joints are terrible. Slow. Clumsy.

[Bosbulls]

Nice explanation.
Would it be better to use Joint Limits or contact sets?

Very good video...I have a question...at 1:33..when you hit say animation of the joint...the moving object goes counter closewise...If I want the animation to go clockwise...what I should do ? Thanks

Two ideas to improve your vids: hide your Windows taskbar so we don't see it popping up all the time (that's distracting); and make sure that your mouse is being captured on the video, since I have no idea what you dragged to make that joint rotate, nor where you're pointing when you say "this object".

I need Assistance, I have A relam Blower meant to clean of train tracks of snow. But I'm currently trying to animate the arms by using joints and no matter how hard I try to get them to function they just won't. I'm trying to impress my boss especially our other cnc machinist is leaving soon and ill be the only one left. Im fresh out of highschool and need some help so please help me if you can

[benjaminburtle]

Solidworks is much easier. For complex designs, these joints are a very big problem.

Hello I have a fusion360 question, I have some panels drawn out in AutoCAD and once I move them to fusion the panel size changes… what am I doing wrong??

[jandebuysser]

how do you use the mouse to move the joints, mine always wants to select something..

[edje]

I made the joint, but how you move it ?
