Pattern & Mirror with Joints AND MY BAD Habits - Fusion 360 Tutorial -

[@AJWyman1]

After the mirror could you not do an as built joint to reattach it to the rail?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Team Wyman Scale Design Thank you for watching! Ha, yes totally!!! Why did I not think of that :-)

[@petez4608]

Just starting to learn this application. Thanks for posting.

[@zacharyborchardt3405]

I love your videos, keep them coming!!! I have learned so much from you, thank you!!! Question: after you set everything up for “movement”, you are able to move the slide by what appears to be “click and drag”. How do you do that???

[@cyrilfleurot]

Thank you so much for all your videos, you make a great job.

[@cadcamstuff]

That is awesome to hear Cyril Fleurot .Thank you for watching the videos

[@rickmandrey6760]

Got it! As built joint over rigid group! Contact sets are MEMORY HOGS!!!! use only as needed and only in the top assemble! Much better to use Joint limits. Great video, combining with previous video was good follow up.

Hi rick mandrey Thank you for watching!

Thanks Lars for the video. However you have proved now in 2 lifestreams that joint limit dialogue is not really intuitive. I suggest to change input to "limit 1" and "limit 2" instead of min / max. I think then it would be much less confusing.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Johannes Peter Schramel Thank you for watching! It seems like I have it figured out, but then still get myself confused :-). Have an awesome day BEst, Lars

Thanks for your videos. I am fairly new to Fusion. I noticed you did the break link/unbreak. If we do not break the link and update an assembly component in place does the individual component file also get updated?

[@ShowShineAU]

It is 3, if we do 300, how can we do?

[@Danny-wd2fl]

Your tutorials are invaluable, but, it would be a lot more useful to me (and likely others?) if you consistently designed/assembled your parts with parametric design in mind. One example: at 18:25 you create a joint limit by typing in the length of the beam -- but of course if that beam length has to change then that joint limit won't automatically update.

[@MarcoSouza71]

Useful explanation. Excuse me the curiosity but what is this equipment behind you on your right up?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Marco Souza Moers Thank you for watching! It is a Haas simulator. These are used in education to let students test the cnc code before running it on an actual machine

[@jsf777golf]

I think I get it. So I made my slides outside my main design then once I bring them in I make the S/A and break the link and add my joints . Now any changes I make inside the main drawing is lost back to the original part. Which then require me to change that component outside the main design manually so as to keep it as a master for future projects. In your example if I made the rail longer or changed the stop design I would have to make the same change manually to the component I brought in and broke the link to.

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi jsf777golf Thank you for watching! If you bring it in as a subassembly and don't break the link, then you should be able to have changes go from your master to your inserted part. Best, Lars

[@ronmccarden5755]

Really good training!

[@austincustomcnc]

So it seems like patterning joints using this method will work, but mirroring joints unfortunately does not. Do you know if there are any plans to make mirroring joints less tedious? Or perhaps there has been an update since this video was made last year?

[@cadcamstuff]

I’m not sure. I will have to take a look at this

[@austincustomcnc]

Lars Christensen thank you!

[@sinitarium]

Awesome explanations! Thanks!!

[@Jury-rigging_and_Engineering]

Have you done any live streams with coil springs or multi-leaf springs?

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi anthony tanner II Thank you for watching! I have not. Most people are looking for the movement of the springs and because of how the fusion timeline works, I have not been able to find a way to do that

[@CerebralDad]

Lars, How can i salvage a drawing that I turned off the history on fairly early on because I attempted to import a mesh for scale - i nearly created the whole thing, but i have no history to make small corrections... :(

[@cadcamstuff]

Hi Cerebral Dad Thank you for watching! If you saved your part as you were working on it, you have the versions you could promote via the data panel. Hope this is useful

[@JeffersonRomney]

The title just wasted 30 minutes of my time. I watched this to find a way to mirror without having to redo joints. Watched the whole thing and at the very end he said if you want an exact mirror, you'll have to redo all the joints. Very misleading title. Some good information about patterning though.

[@TylerHarney]

14:18 My fusion360 isn't letting me drag my selected components into my sub assembly. Anyone else? A few months ago I remember doing it and it worked.

[@alibi6968]

yeah same here

[@kwingham]

Waste of time. Doesn't provide a solution to mirror joints.

[@ShowShineAU]

Fusion should try to find the best way to let modeling easier not us. Now too much people are talking about how can we use another way to finish that job in Fusion, it is not ours job.
