Has to bee one of the best tutorials i have watched on Fusion, the process explained well along with the Why, will look forward to some more of your videos, excellent thank you
The sketch disappearing is one of the annoying things about fusion, you often need the sketch for multiple operations, such a time waster to have reenable it, you should have a preference setting to disable that
I have fantastic news for you! There IS an option for this. Its in preferences > design....or see the image below: www.dropbox.com/s/tuds4azx2elo4v1/AutoHideSketch.png?dl=0
Concerning create a new component... When doing that I have to physically use the mouse and click the name field to be able to name it, instead of when creating a new component the Name field is automatically selected to just start input text, give the component a name, and press then enter on the keyboard. Am I missing something here, or is it "common sense" to use the mouse and click as much as possible in Fusion360 and have to do the extra unnecessary steps all the time? It's all those "little things" that p*sses me off, and there are many in Fusion 360.
Hi Lars - Perhaps this is a new feature since making this video - Thank you by the way understanding components was driving me crazy. Anyways the point of this message is that mI created components to keep my timelines straight in each component - strangely though the i just kept seeing the entire timeline for the entire file - but each operation int he timeline had a colur associated with the component (still a bit confusing) By click on the gear icon on the far right of the time line bar I could switch this off by selecting the "Hide ALL INACTIVE FEATURES" . An important setting if your instance is not behaving as it does in Lars' video.
Hey Grant, Sorry about any confusion the color coding in the timeline might have caused. I think we did a QUICK TIP on this LONG ago, but its so buried I can't even find it. Probably deserves a refresh, and I know we've never covered the 'inactive features' toggle! By the way, the presenter in this case is actually Jamie Scherer -- not Lars -- but we love them both equally! haha www.linkedin.com/in/jamiescherer/
Autodesk Fusion 360 no worries. I love learning from you tube but your tech forums are awesome at getting to the nub. Just got to get better with my search terms. Its still a ton of fun! And your self serving learning approach and crowd sourced knowledge management is brilliant.
Hope I didn't cut that out when I added the 'end screen'! Can you check it in Getting Started content, linked in the description to see if the rest is there, or if the steps are covered in the continuation?
Good example of what never to do as a teacher. Explain something very simple with a very complicated example. And by the way the title is not really related to the video.

Thanks! Make sure to see the rest of the series linked in the description!
These tutorials are great, I've already learned a few new things and I've been doing Fusion360 for about a year now!
Great to hear, Nick! We have more coming, but make sure to see the link in the description of that video to gain FULL access to all the content.
9:48 how did you get the extension line from top left corner of the rectangle? Certain key pressed or?

Something is wrong with the timeline of this video! He does the whole operation in 12 minutes, it took me 1 hour.
Darn!
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comment!
great tutorial, but that last step wasn't clear/finished in the video which is the one I was interested in 🙂

Oooh this video title is misleading now Assembly Context is a feature of Edit in Place.

As simple as turning lead into gold...
