The usual top quality video Brad, thank you, sorry I couldn't make it live. My first though was that you couldn't pattern those holes, now I know how to unlink the patterned objects. The Re-Anchor option is another that I didn't know previously, but will save me a ton.
@Spike- I think the Re-Anchor command is one of my favorites!
Thank you very much, fantastic lesson!!
DIDO! Thanks for sharing your insights!
To overcome the Metric\Imperial problem, I just enter the dimension in Imperial ( my default unit is metric in fusion) and Fusion converts it automatically to metric.
Nice tip! Thanks for adding to the discussion.
Wow, this was a great segment! I have been using Fusion for a while and picked up a half dozen new things to use. My models (Inch) always come into Cura shrunk down if I saved them out first and then brought them into Cura. Using the Make function brings them in sized correctly! Thanks so much for sharing! Would like to see more of these videos on 3D printing with Fusion.
This may also help with scaling:

Incredibly helpful content. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ronell!
I can extrude text without exploding it. This way I can change it later.
Yes, that is the only way I have been doing it also, I never exploded it.
Yep. I had always used the Extrude command which required you to explode the text. However, if you use the Press/Pull command, you don't need to explode first.
@@bradtallis8968 ; I can use the "E" extrude on text, just stay over the text and it may prompt which one you want and then select "text"
So the right click menu doesn't show extrude as an option on text for me but I have always used "E" on the keyboard and it extrudes just fine. Going to the Create menu and selecting extrude also works fine. No need for using explode. At least in this particular case.
We all seem to think a 0.2 clearance is what needed for 3d printers now day, which is true, of course every printer has its own mechanical play,skew, and alignment issues, however something that is often over looked, is the effect the slicer does to those tolerance, a lot of the time switching a 0.4 nozzle for a 0.35 does all the difference in small prints. At least in my observation of the few printers i have.
@Patprop74- Are you saying that you have a 0.4 nozzle on your printer, but you tell the slicer you are using a 0.35?
@@bradtallis8968 Not at all, what i'm saying is, when i design a small part such as the gear and pinon that is in the video, if i slice with a 0.4 nozzle i much add a - 0.2 clearance to my designs, but if i print it out with a 0.35 it is not necessary , which has me believing the slicer tries to figure out the closest passes according to nozzle size and it must always add it in the positive meaning it will add to the model. If that makes sense.
For text on an object use the emboss tool. Much easier. And another suggestion is to create params for tight, loose fits I.e. .029 for tight fit so dimension would be actual size + (tol).
Anchors away! Thanks Brad
That tip was definitely a favorite!
Left-clicking on the top-level item and then clicking File -> 3D print will send all the parts as one print job without having to save as an .stl file.
Great add, Michael!
Thank you
Thank you for these Tipps !
Thanks for watching!
I look forward to these sessions because there are good things that come out of these, I have been using Inventor from version 1 all the way up to 2019 amd been using 360 now for 3 years and I love both, I just wish that fusion 360 would do more with 2D drawings, because by the end of the day most people still need to see drawings.
We hear you, Joe! We've have put a great deal of effort into it in the last year, and I hope we see other improvements. What do you want to see changed/added to drawings?
@@adskFusion : First off, the ability to have fractional and decimals in the same drawing. I keep going to the Idea Station and look for more things to vote on, but I get to spend much time reading thru everyone's ideas that I want too, So I mostly pull the models over into Inventor and make drawings there.
First, thx for the vid, Brad. Very helpful.
Now, some COMMENTS ON TERMINOLOGY...
[If you care about this, great. If not, ignore.]
- Everyday use vs. technical use: each is OK, depending on realm.
- Following comments regard technical realm, where endeavor is to be clear, concise, and unambiguous, while avoiding conflating terms and creating confusion.
- CLEARANCE vs. TOLERANCE...
-- CLEARANCE is the "design intent": in a perfect world, it's the separation between parts to allow desired fit/function (e.g loose, or tight / free, or fixed, etc.).
-- TOLERANCE is a measure of the ability of a device to create a designed dimension. This is expressed as a "+/-" amount. It's a kind of allowance.
-- So, a design is created "ideally", then tolerances are identified. Note that tolerances vary between different technologies (e.g. 3D printing vs. CNC'ing).
- ACCURACY vs. PRECISION...
-- These are often conflated, too :(
-- ACCURACY is the closeness of the measured dimension to the intended.
-- PRECISION is the repeatability of a dimension.
-- Consider a dart board. Aiming for the bull's eye, but hitting the rim is poor accuracy. But if the same area on the rim keeps getting hit, then the precision is very good. Ideally, one wants good accuracy, AND good precision.
OK, in the end, the important thing is that all parties understand what each other is intending to communicate. Common, exacting terminology helps in this regard.
That's all. Carry on :) ...
Thanks for the terminology lesson -always worth a review! Funny thing was that Marti and I had the discussion on 'accuracy vs precision' just a week or two ago.
You speak very clear and good understandable and this is very important for me because my native language is german. Top video, thank you for spending so much time for the community!!
See some of Brads other live streams. Pure gold!
Make a small hole in the gear .. measure the rod and drill the hole :) ? But will look at the whole
Re-anchor best tip for today
Re-Anchor command is one of my favorites!
Does anyone know of a glue that works well on PLA? I've tried many types of glue with little success.
That's a great tip on setting Z to match the printers orientation and I've now set it in my confuguration. However, is there any way taht I can get existing models to respect that rule? I've tried copying old models to a new file and they now come in on their edge just like in my slicer. But if I then rotate them they still load into slicer on edge. New files not a problem but old ones appear to retain their original Z axis relationship?
Can you check the solution here: forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/z-axis-up/td-p/5445468?
I believe the steps indicated should help resolve those older files orientation, and he provides a nice reproducible set of steps.
Great Stuff. Thanks!
Thanks Bryan!
Very informative and interesting video. So here's, what is in all probability, a stupid question: once you decide on the correct tolerance for a satisfactory fit, can you then determine what the tolerance should be for other sized holes without re-doing this exercise?
Great question. Hoping Brad will follow up to this, but that's my understanding. This is used to learn about your printers tolerance, from there use what you learn from this exercise to design better fitting parts.
Thanks for the good video again. I have one item which I am not able to handle. When you have created an object in the free modelling space I am not able to put measures onto it in a drawing. Is there a way to do that? Thanks again Stefan
@Stefan- I'm guessing you are talking about putting dimensions on a part in a drawing. I recommend you watch my LiveStream on Drawings. ua-cam.com/video/FBpmqM57xQg/v-deo.html
The gears in your assembly at the start of the video (eg 3:50) don't look like the model - the vee where the angled teeth meet varies in height, so they wouldn't be able to mesh and rotate unless they could each move up and down and even then I expect they would object to meshing. What's going on there? Must have been quite difficult to model them up but I can't imagine why you'd choose to do that. Weird!!
One question : can I store or save the user parameters for global use like as a sort of preference say for instance the tolerance . So I can use it in every drawing would be a nice feature kind regards Hans
Hey Hans, thanks to someone else pointing this out, but this app may just do what you need (until/if we add this):
apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=1801418194626000805&appLang=en&os=Mac
apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=1801418194626000805&os=Win64&appLang=en
Can you create global variables so you don't need to recreate for every drawing?
Sorry didn't see your question. Great minds...
What I do is create a project with a component that use those parameters, then DRAG that component into the new project. Doing so would import the globals into the second project. You can right-click the dragged component and choose Break Link if you want to be able to modify the parameters in the second project.
Thank You @@HariWiguna
Love that everyone is helping each other! Great community! Thanks ALL!
G'DAY from down under
G'day m8.
I get a permissions error when trying to have Fusion360 open a custom slicer. I installed through the Mac App Store. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?
@Mike- I recommend contacting Autodesk Fusion 360 Support to see if they can help solve your problem.
Can you make parameters universal so you can use them between files? Or perhaps import them?
There an app called Parameter I/O in the Fusion App Store apps.autodesk.com Import/Update parameters from or export them to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file.
Great share, Ron! Thank you!

@@adskFusion Thats awsome! Does Autodesk ever consider rolling some of these scripts directly into Fusion?
Maybe something like this, but generally we want to encourage developers to submit solutions to problems we don't have the bandwidth to prioritize. For that reason, I think we'll mostly try to avoid overlap, if possible.
y up.. cuz up..dudumtisss :)
hi all
Hello!
Keep making great videos! However, it's Clearance, not tolerance.
I believe both terms are technically correct, but I could be wrong...
@@adskFusion They are not interchangeable. Clearance is the actual measurement of the "gap", Tolerance is the precision of the measurement. You can have a clearance measurement of .020" with a tolerance of +or- .002"
Sounds correct. Thanks!
