Thank you Kevin, you got me going with part names descriptions and parts lists and quantities within minutes! I have learned not to mirror but to pattern out parts whilst modelling so that I will end up with a comprehensive parts list for my manufacturing drawing. This is a game changer for me.
PARTS LIST - Thanks for the information! This was awesome! I first discovered you on Skillshare & have been watching all of your videos since. I've learned a ton from your videos. Thanks again! 👍
Hi, Ryan. Glad to hear that! I've got some more Fusion 360 Skillshare classes in the works (woodworking and 3D printing related). I appreciate your support. Cheers, Kevin :)
PARTS LIST - Thanks Kevin, really useful stuff - as always. Up until now I've only used Fusion 360 for 3D Printing designs, didn't realize this was so easy... I'll be re-visiting some of my woodwork and metalwork designs now!
Hi, Andy. Glad to hear this will be of use for your projects. I'll definitely be doing more "build" related tutorials that can be applicable to woodworking and metalworking. Cheers, Kevin :)
Thanks, a woodworking parts list tutorial was just what I needed! If you’re taking suggestions, making cut lists for sheet goods with Fusion 360 would be another valuable tutorial (e. g. which pieces fit on a sheet and how many sheets are needed for the project. Making additional drawing sheets with detail views of parts would also be a useful overview.
Thanks, Keith. Glad to hear the parts list was useful. I do have those video topics on my "to-do" list. Some of that will also be covered in my Fusion 360 for woodworking course. Thanks again for watching and commenting! Cheers, Kevin :)
@@robsandstrom9854 hi Rob. I'll be adding those lessons in the next week or so. It will include native cuts list (similar to this video), along with OpenBOM and the use of add-ons to make more 'advanced' parts list.
Excellent reminder about copies vs mirrors. A life long wood worker I learned F360 when I got into CNC, then of course applied to every new ww project, love what cad now brings to the table. But this parts list workaround defeats the purpose, as one can do this faster by hand on paper. I really hope at some point the team at Autodesk adds native support for parts lists, maybe just bring in the bounding box data automatically. Love your videos, I learn tons of new stuff every time, thanks!
agreed - the parts lists need some work. Check out OpenBOM add-in if you haven't already - ua-cam.com/video/x3BmwSjgp7c/v-deo.html They offer a free non-commercial license. Works wonders in automating the parts lists and has a bunch of extra functionality as well
Thanks for a GREAT Video!!!! I have experimented with the drawing feature in Fusion 360 on a couple of projects looking a tutorials from different sources and yours is by far the best because you describe the feature and explain why it is utilized.. Looking closely, and listening carefully at your presentation I learned a lot from the tips and tricks you mentioned. This gave me a lot information that I will be able to use in my current and future projects. You are the Man! I really enjoy watching your videos as they are always informative. John
Hi, John. Glad to hear you learned a lot. As always, I appreciate your continued support and hope you continue to learn from my tutorials. Cheers, Kevin :)
Exactly what I been waiting for! Very useful stuff. There's no video out there about the differences between ISO and ASME, perhaps it's a good future topic. Cheers!
Racking my brain to figure out where i've heard this voice before. You totally reminded me of Nile Red. Great videos though, it is very useful to go through a whole workflow, rather than just some 'howto' describing a little tip.
Thank you, great tutorial. I might have missed this, but the dimensions are not populating into the parts table automatically? That's very strange. Is cutlist then only possible via openbom? Thanks!
How do you insure the correct labeling of component names? The xx:1, xx:2, xx:3 designation. Mine keep labeling xx(1), xx(2), xx(3) which in turn counts as a new part on the parts list. If they label xx(2):1, :xx(2):2, xx(2):3 it also works correctly adding up in the parts list but I can't figure out how to get it to label my joists and floor boards correctly. Thanks for all the videos, a joy to watch and easy to follow.
Hi, Thomas. Great question. Unfortunately, Fusion 360 does not have this capability yet. At least an automated way. You would have to manually copy and paste the mass of each component, while in the "properties" tab. For example, you could copy the mass into the "Part Number" input. You could then update the Part Number column heading to read "Mass" (or desired heading). This is automated in Autodesk Inventory, so hopefully, this is something the Fusion 360 team will be able to implement with the next round of Drawing Workspace updates. Cheers, Kevin :)
I found a really helpful add-in on fusion 360 app store. its called "Size to Parts List" this app automatically updates the description of components based on its bounding box. I make parametric designs for cabinets and this app is a life saver for cut lists. I hope this helps someone!
I know this an older tutorial, and I really appreciate it. It is great material. I do have a question though: What if the parts list is longer than will fit on one 8.5 x 11 sheet? How can it be broken up into two parts or sheets/pages? Thanks
Whenever you select the parts list table, you'll see some little blue triangles (and maybe some other shapes around the outside). You can click and drag those around to adjust the columns/split into side by side. You cannot completely split the table into two at this time. However, I would recommend checking out the OpenBOM add-in for more control over your parts list. Check out the video I did on it here: ua-cam.com/video/x3BmwSjgp7c/v-deo.html
Enjoying your videos so far. I used to use Sketchup for all my woodworking projects, but now am using Fusion 360. Sketchup had a CutList extension where it would take all your parts against a sheet of plywood or lumber you were using so you could see how many sheets of plywood and/or pieces of lumber you needed. Is there such a thing in Fusion 360?
@@ProductDesignOnline I sure hope they are that would be awesome. I use parameters for everything so like to make adjustments that way. So having to go to the Properties of the components each time I make a change to update the Properties is a hassle. Easy to forget doing that. I'm just a hobbyist so Bommer appears to be a bit more than what I was looking to spend.
Unfortunatly - every time you change the size of a part, you have to change the description. The Part List is for a parametric program useless if you want to create a cutlist.
Hi, Thomas. The "Bommer" add-in may be helpful if you're looking to change objects and have them updated - apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=5433700426186506446&appLang=en&os=Win64
Another great tutorial. Thanks for the detailed instructions as always. ONe quick question. How do you get the descriptions for the parts? I have been entering them manually in the components. Is that the only way or is there a way to get it based on the measurements of the parts?
In Fusion 360, that is currently the only way to do it natively. However, I would highly recommend OpenBOM if you have a need for BOMS/Parts list on a regular basis: ua-cam.com/video/x3BmwSjgp7c/v-deo.html
The only way to shorten the height is to adjust the text size. Details on this article - forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/parts-list-size/td-p/6712614
Very good tutorial, thanks. Is there a tutorial available for the planter box design? It looks like you are experimenting with different ways to monetize your work, which is fine, but it does scatter things behind pay walls.
Thats awsome. I tried multiple times to create the parts list and the table only shows me the component name and the material its made out of. No measurments.
They don't make it easy... maybe someday it will automatically pull the measurements in from the component. But adding them to the description has proven to be a very valuable step for a lot of the projects that I've done. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi, Hershal. First off, thanks for becoming a Patron. I really appreciate your support. As far as I'm aware, Fusion 360 still doesn't have a cost list capability. You could manually add the cost as the "Part Number" field of each component property and include that column with your parts lists. Cheers, Kevin :)
Hi Kevin. I created a drawing and used an iso view within, but as I found out, dimensions don't work on that view, how can I add extra views, side, front etc to place accurate dimensions on? Thanks.
Hi, Great video. One question. I understand about using components for the cut list however I'm having one issue that I cant seem to get an answer for. The example of mirroring the angles is exactly my issue. I have created a design which has legs as components. I created them using mirror as it was the best way to model them and ensure the correct position when sizes were updated etc. Now I want all these legs to appear as one with the quantity in my cut list. Is there a way to link these components in the design so they show as one row in the cut list. If not I will stop wasting my time trying. If so please share. Thank you.
Hi Jason. Because Mirrored objects are technically "opposites" there is no way to link them as one. You can override the quantity in the table...otherwise, you'll have to recreate the components by copying them instead of mirroring them. I'd also recommend checking out OpenBOM which offers more flexibility with parts list. You can get a free account for hobbyist/non-commercial use - ua-cam.com/video/x3BmwSjgp7c/v-deo.html
Ive kind of expected the board sizes to be placed automatically now when you change a parameter, you'd have to update all your comments with the board sizes.
Great tutorial! Absolutely thumbs up. Friendly advice: Work on your intonation, despite the perfect story the way you end your sentences you sound bored or a bit annoyed.
So it's kind of useless if you have an existing model and you've created various components. Seems like there's no way to tell Fusion to group existing components as parts. Same like if you had used the mirror function, or extrude to new component, after that point you're screwed? Wow, I would really expect a way to apply part metadata to a component.
