Fusion 360 software installs and runs on Windows 10 and macOS, just like traditional applications. However, all of Fusion 360 software’s data is synchronized to the Autodesk Cloud, hosted on Amazon Cloud servers, which provides numerous data management benefits. Having a high-level understanding of how Fusion 360 stores its data is critical for business owners who have chosen to use Fusion 360 as their digital design and manufacturing tool. What isn’t obvious to business owners is this: The first employee to set up and use Fusion 360 in their business becomes the owner of all the data created with Fusion 360. This class will explain why and how business owners or IT managers can make sure they have control over their companies’ intellectual property.

Finally, it will create the result as a single operation so it can be undone by an undo operation. This session features Fusion 360.

Fusion 360 software is not like other CAD tools when it comes to positioning components in an assembly. There are no mates here. Fusion 360 has a different model for putting components together. It uses Joints to both position components and describe their motion. This class will help you to make sense of Joints in Fusion 360. Starting with the foundational concepts of assembly, degrees of freedom, positioning, and motion, we will progress into the deeper topics of flexible subassemblies, the behavior of grounded components, and so on. We will describe the various joint types that can be used in your model, and scenarios where they are applicable. We will attempt to demystify assembly modeling in Fusion 360. Virtually sit down (or stand up—it's up to you!) with two Fusion 360 modeling experts and senior members of the Fusion 360 development team. The topics and workflows we will discuss come directly from Fusion 360 customers just like you.

They say to master something takes 10,000 hours-but what if you need to become an expert quickly? In this class, we'll show you what experts have learned while using Fusion 360 software in hopes of bringing you along with us.
