A well-structured sketch makes your model easier to modify, ensures accuracy, and sets the stage for parametric control. Mastering sketch basics is key to building robust parts and assemblies.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-start-a-new-design\"><strong>Step 1: Start a new design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Open Fusion and create a new design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click <strong>File<\/strong> > <strong>New Design<\/strong> or use the New Design icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save your file early using the Data Panel to keep projects organized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-activate-the-sketch-tool\"><strong>Step 2: Activate the sketch tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>To begin sketching in Fusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <strong>Design<\/strong> workspace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create Sketch<\/strong> from the toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fusion will prompt you to select a plane or planar face.
