Fusion 360 for Beginners - Lesson 8 - Sketching Tutorial (2023)

[@DustinBreese]

You're videos are amazing. You have a great, fantastic approach to teaching. Much appreciated!

[@learnitalready]

Wow, that was extremely nice of you to super us. Thank you for your generosity. We are truly grateful that you are finding our channel beneficial. Please keep in touch with your progress on our channel. All the best! Comment pinned. 😎

[@stephanelessard2153]

I plan to do all the lessons for all three levels (beginner, intermediate and expert). Your excellent teaching technique allows us to learn the material more easily. For the homework, the PDF of the plan attached would have been an asset to have the dimensions more quickly. Excellent work, Thank you!

[@learnitalready]

Excellent to hear. Your hard work is what is helping you progress so quickly. Great job. Please check out our website for all drawings. I have a bunch up already, but will include all of them in due time :)

[@ThompsonConcepts]

Understandable video at the pace I need now. Thanks Homework done in 8.3 min

[@learnitalready]

Thanks for your comment! Good job with your homework.

[@Kandu_That]

less than 2 minutes!!! thank you for taking the time to make this series!

[@learnitalready]

Very quick! Great job. Glad you like this series.

[@MarteloDigital-dt2ym]

I took 4 minutes 31 seconds. It keeps getting easier and easier because you explain everything step by step

[@learnitalready]

Nicely done! Keep up the good work.

[@Karelb747]

5 minutes. I was happy with my results

[@learnitalready]

Very good! 👍 Thanks for sharing.

[@JayHuemann]

2nd Time it took me about 30 minutes. I had to go back to your video twice. Thanks a ton.

[@learnitalready]

Awesome! Great job 👏 I’ve had to do that too, sometimes even more than twice. Thanks for keeping us posted of your progress.

[@TheNicolaiBrix]

I have watched all the previous lessons and I have to say that I was afraid of fusion360... I'm not now! Great teaching style! thanks a lot!!

[@learnitalready]

Now, your kind of comment is one I love to receive. I was intimidated with Fusion when starting out too, but find it so much fun to work with. Thanks for the encouragement. Keep up the great work.

[@cssCharlieMay]

From start to finish, right at 3 minutes. You are an amazing instructor.

[@learnitalready]

Great job! You are an amazing student! Keep up the good work.

[@nickbrown8798]

Love the way you just drop in extra little techniques and features as we go along 🙂

[@learnitalready]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying our teaching methods. All the best 😀

[@305doveridge]

I just finished the homework lesson to create this entire piece. it took me 10 minutes. I must have learned something... hahaha

[@learnitalready]

Great job! That’s the key: take it one step and one tutorial at a time and you will greatly improve your skills along the way. They should get easier and more enjoyable for you as you exert yourself in learning.

[@morgenkaffe]

Please keep making these videos. I have seen a trillion videos out there regarding learning F360, and you guys just rocks. The absolute best quality videos I have seen so far. Easy to understand. Now I just wish you would use the metric systems, instead of those imperial inches etc LOL

[@learnitalready]

You have been so encouraging with your comments… thank you! We truly appreciate your support. In your honor, we will do our best to add a bunch of metric videos in the future. Thanks so much again!

[@morgenkaffe]

This is some of the best news on KZbin for a long time. I totally vote yes to Metrics 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 To be honest I think there is a bigger demand for F360 videos in the 3D printing community than CNC etc. specially after the release of the new FDM printers like Bambu Lab, Creality K1 etc People tend to start wanting to create their own designs after being printing all the fidget toys, figurines etc 🤣🤣

[@rothens]

@@morgenkaffe For most of the videos I've simply followed by multiplying the inch value, and using it as a mm (I know it's not right, but quicker in my head xD). But you can simply write "in" after the value :D

[@karolosmanski2309]

I live in a metric country and simply changed units to imperials. No big deal!

[@learnitalready]

@@karolosmanski2309 I need to hire you to be my “units of measurement” spokesman! “No big deal!” 😆 I love it!

[@wondertrips8928]

As always amazing explanation and a fantastic demonstration of the tools you use, I appreciate how calm and slow you talk to explain I can follow that way. For the exercise, it took me 5 minutes and 34 sec. Thanks a million

[@learnitalready]

Thank you for taking the time to express your appreciation. You did this exercise very quickly. Good job 👏 We appreciate hearing from you very much. See you at the next tutorial.

[@dagored100]

21 minutes, thank you

You're most welcome!

[@brit735]

6 mins 20 sec. It would have been weeks without this awesome short course

[@learnitalready]

Amazing work! Glad you have found our tutorials beneficial. Hope you enjoy the rest.

[@mickeythompson8770]

as being self taught these videos are great. Im a manual machinist learning to program cnc now on my own time. I have made simple parts so far and figuring out the cam side..but being a machinist I know how to start and what operations I would do. Thanks again for the great videos , have recommended this to my co workers!!!!

[@learnitalready]

Thanks so much for your encouraging comment and for sharing our channel! Hope you keep learning with us. Please keep in touch as to your progress. All the best!

[@learnitalready]

Thank you for your encouraging comment and thinking so highly of our channel. Hope that you continue to benefit from our other tutorials as well. All the best!

[@kdatrio]

From starting scratch about 3.5 minutes. Loving the style and detail. Also love (please don't stop) the explanations of why, this helps with my own projects. Also, just a request, can you take a little bit longer on your cartoon being visible in the videos? It is sometimes hard to see what it says and they add a flavor to the video that is great. Thank you again for this playlist

[@learnitalready]

Thank you so much for your comment and encouragement. It is so nice to receive a comment like yours and to know that you are benefiting from these tutorials so much. Thank you! Thank you too for your suggestion about the whiteboard animations. Duly noted! All the best with your learning Fusion!

[@abdobaba1325]

It took me 3 minutes to finish it. I want to thank you so much for these lessons. You are an amazing instructor, and please keep making these amazing videos; they help me a lot.

[@learnitalready]

Great job! 👏 Thanks for letting us know and for your encouragement. Keep up the good work. Please consider sharing our channel with someone you think would benefit from it as well.

[@learnitalready]

Also, I’m not sure if you have seen this video or not, but it explains how you can download a course we just released for free on Udemy. Hope it can help further your instruction: Fusion 360 - Absolute Beginner to Running a CNC - Live Sessions Course (2024) kzbin.info/www/bejne/goachnWFqJJ4pdk

Great job! Keep up the good work. 👍

Thank you!! I'm just getting started with cnc plasma

[@learnitalready]

Very nice! What kind of machine are you working with?

[@jarrodmsimmonsable]

I just got a langmuir pro/razorcut 45. I am new to cad software and this is a huge help!

[@richiemag22]

Great Video

[@learnitalready]

Thank you!

[@PaulEaklor]

5:07 for me, was the hole bore that got me a bit. I was looking at the diagram trying to make sense of what number meant what.

[@learnitalready]

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, the characters and numbers on a drawing can be a little confusing at times. I hope to continue to teach things like that in our tutorials so that our viewers can continue to learn new things. Hope you like our other tutorials!

[@PaulEaklor]

@@learnitalready Yes I have been spending a significant amount of time with your tutorials. I like the format and cadence. I am quickly becoming "proficient" with Fusion 360 using your lessons.

[@SalahJawad]

Like your lessons. Have tried other fusion 360 learning serious and yours is easier to follow and better. This lesson took me about 3 mins

[@learnitalready]

Thanks so much for saying! We will keep trying to provide more tutorials in the future. Stay tuned!

[@ScottSavage-fu6cu]

Thanks for the demo, Really well done. The only thing That I might add is ... if you save each sketch with a distinct name as in this case with the dice, say 1 dimple, or 4 dimples, then when you want to find it in the history you can simply click on the sketch in the browser and it will highlight that item in the timeline. I'm new to Fusion and just found this lesson so I don't know if you've covered this previously. Will try and catch up!

[@learnitalready]

Thanks for your encouragement! Glad that you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you too for the comment and suggestion. I didn’t cover this in a previous tutorial, but have covered it in other tutorials. However, I love it when ones comment good suggestions that make their workflow easier which benefits others that read the comments. Thanks! Hope you enjoy our other tutorials too. Please feel free to comment and keep in touch with us. All the best!

[@learnitalready]

We see you marked a section on filleting. We hope it was explained in an easy way. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. Thanks!

[@MikeZajac-d7y]

Thank you for these videos! This is the first one I have watched and will watch more. Could you do a video on complex sketches?

[@learnitalready]

Thank you for your comment! I’m so glad that you have benefitted from this one. I definitely have plans to do a tutorial on complex sketches. Stay tuned!

[@echologged85]

Really good video, this isn't my first time working in Fusion 360 but I'm a bit rusty from not using it very often. I've already picked up some great tips going through your videos! I was able to draw this lessons part up in 3min30seconds. You're a great teacher! Really having a blast going through these lessons!

[@santiagopacheco4757]

great videos !!! it took me about 30 minutes to completed the sketch ,can you make a video how to sketch a putter golf putter? thank you

[@learnitalready]

Hello! Great to hear that you are enjoying the tutorials. Your tutorial request will be put on our list of videos to do. Thank you!

[@JerryBWagoner]

6 minutes and 30 seconds. Spent a lot of time trying to remember what the symbols on the drawing meant. :) Question: I would really like to change the shortcut for the rotate. My brain really wants that center mouse button press to be rotate and not just move. Is there a way to do that? I think I'm trying to keep my left hand on the escape key like you taught Dan the man in the Udemy course. :)

[@learnitalready]

Amazing job! So glad that you’re sticking with us and continuing your learning. I would love to know what kind of personal projects you have in mind that Fusion can help with. Sadly, mouse controls cannot be changed much. When you’re ready for it, you can check out buying a 3D mouse which does exactly what you’re looking to do. Here’s a link for when you’re ready: amzn.to/3VZzN8z

[@hanspijpers2100]

good teacher, 6 min

[@learnitalready]

Thank you! 😃

[@ldcb6408]

Hi there! great lessons. Do you rotate the piece using the mouse?

[@learnitalready]

Hello! Thanks so much! For me, I orbit using a 3D mouse. A link can be found in the description to most of my videos.

[@EricDobsonTV]

The tidiness of the timeline… all the fillets in a single step? Who knew! (Not me.)

[@EricDobsonTV]

Also… 3 minutes. 😀

[@learnitalready]

I love it! You’re flying!!!

[@crosswalkguy435]

It took me 6 min, 50 sec to build the part again on my own. It would have been longer if I had waited until the next day, or longer. I still remembered pretty well how to do it. Can you please explain what the radius of the fillett is measured from? The large one in the drawing is .75, and the counter bore is 1.0, yet it looks like 'radius' of the fillett is larger than the counterbore, even though it is smaller numerically...

[@learnitalready]

You’re doing exactly the right way: practice and then practice again after trying to memorize. You will improve quickly, I am confident. Regarding the fillet radius: you are correct the the outer fillet radius looks bigger, and that’s because it is. The dimension of the c-bore is actually a diameter of 1 inch. The radius is 1/2 of the diameter, so the c-bore actually has a radius of 0.5 inches.

[@christopherlyons7613]

When sketching, how do you turn a line into a construction line? I thought pressing X would toggle the line between normal & construction (and visually change the line from solid to dashed) but not seeing this. If I select a line and press X, the line remains the same and solid. Is there any other way to check the state of a selected line?

[@learnitalready]

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the letter “x” on your keyboard should work. Can you confirm that you editing your actually sketch please? You should see the Sketch Palette window on the right side of your screen if you are in the sketch environment. If not, you need to double click the sketch where the solid line is or right-click and edit. Once the Sketch Palette shows up “x” should work. You can also go to the Sketch Palette and select the top left element to toggle the construction line on and off. Let me know if that works for you.

[@stevebusch9915]

I have tried for several hours to complete this homework, but every time I get to the extrude rectangle .5" it extrudes the whole rectangle into the 1.375 cylinder hole, rather than just the hangover beyond the 2.5" diameter. I tried extruding the part overlapping the hole, but nothing seems to work. I am definitely missing something. I have watched the video, taking notes, at least 20 times and can't figure out what I am missing. Help!

[@learnitalready]

Thanks for reaching out! It could be a couple of things. Do you mind sending me your Fusion file please? You need to open your Fusion file, go to the top left to the little document icon and click on it to expand. Once you do, then click on export and export that file to the .f3d file. Send it to me at: [e-mail]. I Hope to receive it soon.
