Quick Start in Autodesk Fusion 360 for Inventor Users: An Old Dog Teaches New Tricks

Learn how to save time and reduce frustration the next time you use Autodesk Fusion 360. Several years back, the speaker jumped into Fusion 360 to support some of his various hobbies and to use its excellent simulation tools. He'd been using Inventor software since it first came out, and assumed that Fusion 360 would work the same way—just in the cloud. Many false starts later, he finally realized that Fusion 360 is not just a new version of Inventor, and that when he tried to force it to run like Inventor, he was causing problems. Eventually, he learned the flow of Fusion 360, and has been enjoying it ever since. If you are well experienced in other 3D solids modeling tools, such as Inventor, come learn Fusion 360 software's workflow, its similarities, and its differences. Understand how to choose between Inventor and Fusion 360, and how the two systems can work together. Learn how to survive and prosper without assembly constraints. Understand bodies and components.
