How about a follow on where you arrange these flat patterns into a CAM workspace for plasma or laser cutting? Thanks for the video, I especially like the last section after the tables.
Hello, I have been subscribed to your channel for some time because I really liked it you share knowledge and, in general, your videos about 3D modeling have inspired me a lot to learn, and since I am a beginner in the world of 3D modeling. I would like to choose a good, non-demotivating field of study and I would like to ask you this question ;) What, in your opinion, is the best way to learn 3D modeling? I have 4 types: 1. watching tutorials and doing the same as the author, 2. creating things that are at our fingertips, that we can touch, rotate and measure, e.g. a tea mug, 3. creating models from photos or drawings, 4 . at the end, coming up with your own project and creating it ?? Or maybe you have another idea, something from your own experience, I would be grateful for your advice :)
I was trying to use that Rotate view on a drawing just yesterday, but with a regular model. After rotating it would not let me place a projected view from that. It went through the steps, but when trying to actually place it, weirdness ensued.... I had to drag further, the image was kind of ghosting and when clicking it, nothing actually placed, but the command ended as if it worked. Very weird. I really should report that, but I was pretty busy at the time so couldn't take the time out for that. I just left my view the way it was and got it done, just not ideally. Basically the issue was the part would look better rotated 90 degrees due to its length and the paper format. I could go back and rotate the model in the design space and likely end up with a better drawing, but its done now and out to a vendor for getting it completed. So, another day, haha.
Wondering if this would work for flat patterns from multiple files, rather than all those flat patterns coming from the one main design file. I'm guessing it would, maybe I'll test that.
Hi Brad, I have a simple question. I’m new in CAM maybe I ask a stupid question. I have a simple and cheap home CNC. When I need multiple parts of the same type, I adjust between 2 jobs the X and Y , reset to zero and start the job again. Normally no problem, but for a home project I need 50 small brackets I hope Fusion will make my life easy. I can’t find a way to create the setting for one part and “pattern” those multiple times. Use the pattern components in the manufacturing tab, will result in a failed post file. Also during simulation I got a lot of errors. On my hobby machine are no settings possible. I know fusion meanwhile for 4 years, so I expect there is a very simple solution Hope you will help me. Thx in advance
I'm curious why using pattern in the manufacturing tab results in a failed post. Please feel free to email me at bradtallis@nexgensolutions and we can set up a zoom meeting to see what is going on.
@@bradtallis8968 hi Brad tx for your response I really appreciate your kindness and accessibility. I’m really sure I make dumb mistakes so I not willing to waste your time. Maybe when you have time show in a Friday session how to do it correct. I learn Fusion 360 from you and Lars on UA-cam. Every time I thought there was an error in Fusion, I was the error🤣🤣 pls consider an episode multiple object in cam. Just enter tool paths for one part and multiple it by the requested number. Maybe and I will not want to over ask you, you can explain how to use g54 g55 etc for multiple locations. I know you aren’t a 100% CAM specialist but you are by far the best teacher. Again I hope you will help me/us. I’m in my golden years and having fun with Fusion. Stepping over to Easel pro is not my intention. I like to design and create everything myself, not just use a automated GUI

Good idea. I'll add it to my list.
Is there no end to your knowledge of Fusion 360 Brad?? 😂. Another great video!! Thanks so much….
Ha-Ha. Thanks! I'm always learning too.

Hiding in plain sight!… Thanks Brad.

Thanks a lot for the tips Brad. HANWE

I tested this and the flat patterns have to all be in the design you create the drawing from.
@@bradtallis8968 darn. But thanks for looking into that!

Glad I'm not into drawings. The interface seem unnecessary cumbersome.
Great explaination anyway. 👍
