Migrating from AutoCAD to Fusion 360

Introduction

• Welcome
• Using the exercise files

1. Getting Started

• Similarities and differences between AutoCAD and Fusion 360
• Collaborating in Fusion Team and A360
• Fusion 360 file types
• The user interface
• Navigating in a model

2. Constraints and 3D Part Modeling

• Sketch mode/environment
• Sketch constraints: Horizontal, vertical, and collinear
• Sketch constraints: Coincident, concentric, and midpoint
• Sketch constraints: Parallel, perpendicular, and tangent
• Sketch constraints: Equal, symmetry, fix, and curvature
• Sketch profiles and fully constrained
• Design intent
• Create tools: Sketch-based extrude and revolve
• Create tools: Sketch-based loft and sweep
• Create tools: Sketch rib and web
• Modify tools: Press pull
• Modify tools: Chamfer and fillet
• Modify tools: Draft and shell
• Modify tools: Combine
• Modify tools: Replace face, split face, and split body

3. Assemble Parts and Components in Fusion 360

• Creating components
• Inserting a component into an assembly
• The joint origin
• Joint motion types: Rigid, cylindrical, and joint
• Joint motion types: Pin-slot, slider, and ball
• Joint motion types: Planar

4. Creating 2D Drawings in Fusion 360

• Before creating a new drawing
• Drawing views
• Geometry annotations
• Dimensions and text
• Exploded assembly drawing
• Applying appearance
• Scene settings

5. Working with AutoCAD Files

• Importing with 2D AutoCAD file
• Importing an AutoCAD 3D file
• Applying joints to components
• Completing the assembly
• Exporting a drawing to DWG
• Importing and exporting DXF
