Part of the reason is that I love hearing what people are making and how they&#8217;re changing the world, but\u00a0part of what I was\u00a0looking for were QUICK TIPS; those morsels of information I could pass along to make YOUR Fusion 360 experience more productive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; color: #333333;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: start;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; color: #333333;\">Luckily, I ran into<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Dave Clarke of<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/voxamps.com\/\">VOX Amplification<\/a>.

I hope that in knowing how it works and the\u00a0offset trick, you&#8217;ll find your\u00a0next designs coming together faster than before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: start;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; color: #333333;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: start;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Georgia; color: #333333;\">If you were unable to make it to Autodesk University this year, we&#8217;d love to see you\u00a0in 2017!
