Learning Fusion 360 For Beginners - Part 16 of 16 is the last in the sixteen part series of basic beginners tutorials which will get you on the road to learning Fusion 360 in 20 hours or so. In this one we look at circular patterns.
See my other videos on how Fusion 360 is virtually free CAD, where it fits in a survey of the CAD market and as such I recommend it as the best free CAD software. Whether you're a student or an inventor, this is a good choice and my 16 part series will get you going with some confidence.

[@meast7584]

What a marvelous and successful series. It left me sad that it was complete, and eager for more. Great job and thank you.

[@MannyCamRS]

Right? I agree

[@reh3ddoes]

Very much appreciated for this series. This will help tremendously!

[@espressoshot21]

I loved your tutorials! Just finished this last lesson. Learned a lot from you. Thank you so much! Please keep making more Fusion 360 Tutorials! It would be awesome if you would make an intermediate & advanced tutorial series!

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Thankyou Eunice, the next series is in the works now.

[@ericlauryssen6451]

i love your tutorials, just finished my last excercise . Thank you very much for introducing us to an interesting side of computer aided modelling. I am looking forward of getting more of this.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Congratulations Eric! I'm pleased to be partly responsible for getting you hooked. There is an intermediate playlist in my channel now.

[@robertbankhead8661]

Amazing and very grateful for you to take the time out of your life to share. Thanks and look forward to extending this series to the Manufacture side!!!!

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Its very kind of you to say that Robert, and I do plan to get onto the manufacturing part of Fusion but it will be a while yet. When I do I'll be needing an education myself and I think I'll be learning a lot from titansofcnc.com where there is a lot of really good and free material. Please keep in touch though.

[@antruscoe5591]

I can't begin to tell you how much your tutorials have helped me, I was struggling so bad with constraints but watching this 16 part has really made me understand so thank you for that. I love the simplicity of the videos, design a basic sketch, sort the constraints and dimension then extrude.... so simple. Much appreciated!

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Great to hear, JC! of all the different CAD programs that I've taught, Tinkercad isn't one of them, but I've found that in nearly every case the skills you acquire are transferable in some measure, even in the case of Sketchup which is pretty unique. Have fun.

[@kerrycorcoran4885]

Excellent series. I took your 16 Part series and decided to attempt my own part. Was able to figure out my design using various approaches to accomplish the desired results. Appreciate all the help. I still have along way to go, but really enjoying the power of Fusion 360.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Fantastic! It was worth getting out of bed after all. Thanks for the great feedback kerry! and keep learning.

[@anthonybevers6066]

Thank you sir for the series. I have been playing with this program for a few weeks until I found your series and was familiar with some basic concepts. The way I would use this was I would look at the part and try to design it before watching the corresponding video and for me, seeing you do something the same or a different helped me to reinforce the concepts. Great product here, thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Good on you Anthony, I'm glad you're here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Arnold, just finished the 16th lesson. I too would like to say thank you for doing such a great job with these. You clearly know how to guide and teach people through a progression process. I’ve tried several other tutorial before I came across your, by far yours were the most helpful and gave me the basic understanding of Fusion. I too hope you will continue with some intermediate and perhaps advanced sessions in the future. Many thanks to you! Cheers!

Here's the link to the page of playlists:- kzbin.infoplaylists The one about Bodies and Components is really another beginner level topic which would be good to be familiar with before you try the intermediate ones.

[@mikebadera3044]

Completed. Thank you Arnold this was the best introduction to Fusion 360 I've seen. You are a great teacher, very clear and precise. You've simplified 360 so much and made it so easy to follow that I wish I didn't waste so much time looking at other programs before I found you. One of the programs I was watching started out saying "forget about restraints... we'll get to them later" but your use of constraints makes the drawings so much easier to complete correctly. Looking forward to what's next.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Wow, thanks! Congratulations Mike, on getting through the 16. I hope you've seen the other tutorials on my channel, you can take a look at the Playlists page when you're ready. kzbin.infoplaylists The one with two 'Bodies and Components' tutorials is best done prior to the intermediate playlist.

This is a great series. I've been using F360 for a few months now, watching videos all over the web (UTube and the F360 website primarily) each time I ran into something I couldn't do. Each and every one of your tutorials had something new and useful for me to use. I'm primarily using F360 to make fittings and parts for R/C aeroplanes with a 3D printer, and a lot of us in the hobby are apparently doing the same thing - up to and including printing a whole aeroplane. Thanks for your excellent work.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Derek, that's great to hear! You'd never guess but I was thinking you'd be out there and your friends doing all that good stuff.

Had to watch these as part of my electronics degree. At first i was bummed out that i had to watch another boring youtube tutorial. But these are great! Really smooth workflow and i love how the pace picks up when you get further into the course. Great job!!!

Thankyou Egon, all the best for the rest of your studies.

Thanks again my friend 😊👍

[@silvermediastudio]

Outstanding intro series. As someone with drafting/CAD experience, who got left in the lurch when Design123 was killed, and finally getting back up to speed with Fusion360, this was a great primer! Getting back to basics is the best way to learn something new, and re-learn something old.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Thankyou 800.... your experience isn't going to waste, if you could see yourself next to some other students who are starting from scratch you would see your advantage and I think you've chosen the best option even if you're on the Personal Use license. Fusion 360 is leading the pack in my opinion.

Congratulations on getting these ones done Rob! and thanks for your kind words. You'll find an intermediate tutorial playlist if you click through to my channel, but if I may offer a suggestion I think you'll find the 'Bodies and Components" playlist will be good to work through prior to the intermediate one. kzbin.info/door/R-69_Ukrk6u4gwqacqx-WQplaylists

@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 thank you. I’ve already started on the Bodies and Components playlist, it’s super helpful. I’m a fully paid up F360 guy, as I’ve finally got my CNC mill, so using both CAD and CAM. I’ve been concentrating so hard on CAM, so I don’t crash my mill, I’d dropped off CAD a bit over last few months. So doing those 16 parts, and now working through the other vids is really speeding me up on CAD. Thanks again 👍

its been an absolutely amazing jurney . thank you so much for all the provided tutorials.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

That's great Shehan, I hope you can do what you planned with Fusion 360. Have you seen the other tutorials on my channel? There is another playlist for beginners called Bodies and Components and there is also an Intermediate level series here - kzbin.info/aero/PLFCTgdiT5-kJErMn7E3Cq9gaaoeQg9NTf

Well done Andrew

[@gitargr8]

Thanks so much for this series, it really helped me transition from thinking in Autocad to Fusion360. I had a small issue trying to draw the circle for the bolt holes in the newer version of Fusion 360; I simply had to project the construction lines of the first sketch to the second sketch and then I could pick the intersection.

Terrific series of intro drawings. The first time I came across Fusion 360 I had a look and decided it was just too hard. Much later, I found your tutorials and I'm certainly not an expert but I'm definitely over the hump. Cheers from Adelaide.

This is the most concise, easy to follow, and well explained tutorial on the internet right now in my opinion. Im hoping for more. I really enjoyed this series. I printed out and followed this twice already. I cant thank you enough.

Thank you, Arnold! I have been struggling with Fusion for a year and was looking for other options. I am familiar with 2D drawings for 3-axis CNC - mainly for woodworking, but have recently gotten into 3D printing. I still have a LONG way to go, but this tutorial series has definitely helped out where others have failed.

[@peterpeart1314]

Excellent course. Last used Auto Cad 2000. This is by far easier to get around. Tutorials super easy to follow. Thankyou. FYI Offsetting holes in flanges is to enable setting up line shafts, pipe work etc by making sure that any key ways and the like are at 12 o'clock with the use of a level across the two holes either side or flanges on both ends of a pipe. (very handy 20 meters in the air)

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Thanks Peter, Its great you were able to give such an endorsement even with the intervening UI change. And thankyou for the explanation for the flange convention, I've watched guys installing an insulated stainless pipeline twenty feet up but now I'll be able to see what wasn't apparent.

[@MarkLeenheer]

Excellent tutorial, no fluff and pretty much everything I need to know to feel confident with basic product design in F360. Really looking forward to your more advanced work in the future. I had only 1 minor issue throughout and that was that I could not snap the circle used in the pattern to the construction line intersection in this tutorial #16. I've taken other F360 classes online that were 10 times as long that I don't feel they were as useful or concise as yours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Thanks Big Mark, that's fantastic. Congratulations on getting through all these. For that issue with snapping the circle to the construction lines, go to Preferences by clicking on your picture in the top right, General, Design and click the one five items down called 'Auto project edges on reference'. Does that fix it for you? Then take a look at the intermediate series of tutorials if you haven't seen them yet. They go on to the basics of assemblies.

[@MarkLeenheer]

@@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360 Sorry for the late reply, yes, that was the issue. I've been busy using the knowledge you shared with me to design and build new machines and products for my business. I will most definitely have a look at your more advanced tutorials and continue to send aspiring engineers your way. Thank you again for sharing with us.

[@mikebuick2332]

What a great series of tutorials - I too was a bit gutted we didn't assemble anything but I certainly learned lots of things. I've only been using F360 for two weeks (never used any CAD before) but I'd managed to draw up a railway box wagon more or less on my own, however run before walking springs to mind! You made me see loads of things I'd got wrong in how to start the sketches off and I could follow the instructions easily. Cheers buddy. Ready to learn some more skills now.

[@ArnoldRowntreeTeachesFusion360]

Great to hear! Mike you're on your way. You have a thirst for knowledge, please find my next series, also in the channel on assemblies. Watch out George Stephenson!

[@mikebuick2332]

Ha! I wouldn’t put me in the same bracket as him 😄 It was nice to be able to follow the tutorials without getting brain fried. I want to learn how to draw up items for my model railway so that they can be 3D printed so it’s important that I learn how to draw properly to enable the drawings t be easily amended - the way I started drawing them two weeks ago created all sorts of headaches and after watching your tutorials I’m trying to work out how I even managed to draw anything!! 🤣🤣

[@zappa4153]

Thanks Arnold finally done them all very informative but I still have a lot to lean but I'll get there eventually.

What a fantastic introduction to Fusion 360. I had all but given up. Old dog new tricks thing ;) Thanks to you that has all changed. I cant thank you enough mate!!! To anyone else that cares: If you use the first two updated lessons it is enough learning to still use the the videos with the older UI successfully. I just did.

Arnold, kudos on an excellent tutorial. After trying a few previously, I came across yours which was much more understandable, intuitive and fun. The only problem I had was during part 14. After drawing the lines and arc on the 45 degree plane, it would not extrude. I learned I needed to add a line on the tangent of the plane to enclose the surface, then it extruded fine. I look forward to finding more of you tutorials online. Thanks again from Texas.
