I've been at Fusion for about a month now. I really just today started sketching as you suggest - rough sketch, constrain, THEN dimension. Man does it make things easier! With that understanding i did my 1st fully parametric model today. I'm very happy! THANK YOU for sharing your expertise!
2 months ago I started to use fusion 360 moving away from 123d design by learning from Lars’ and Paul McWhorters videos. This session consolidates and wraps up concepts neatly and helps me get rid of bad habits I developed in the process of learning a new application. I really enjoy these sessions and want to say a big thank you for being so productive and putting in the effort. Well done👍
As a newbie, I was absolutely struggling with fusion 360. This video is an eye-opener. absolutely essential viewing. Thank you. Now I’ll check the comments to see whether anything useful has transpired in the last six years you made this
Thank you so much. Before I found your videos I couldn't even get started in Fusion 360. This is only the third one I've watched and I'm already making great progress.
Hi Lars, beacause of you i m fighting with Fusion for over a year ... pls continue showing us your knowledge... you know what .. always have two screens trying to copy you .. and this is how i learn ...
New Sub! Recently got into Fusion after starting with FreeCad. I am blown away by Fusion’s power and simplicity. Your videos and tutorials, are excellent and very well made; very comprehensible. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Lars. I am new to using Fusion 360 and I just spent an hour trying to find out how to continue drawing a spline that I was working on yesterday and maintain a smooth path. Your tip at 8:58 was exactly what I was looking for. [Liked and Subscribed]
Thank you. I listed you (to the Fusion 360 team in a recent satisfaction survey) as one of three individuals I have learned the most from videos on Fusion 360. I know this is a four year old video but it is still very helpful for newbies (including myself in this category). I use Fusion 360 for designs and g-code generation with the Langmuir plasma cutting table. Your pace and empathy is very encouraging.
A year and 3 days after the fact, I still learned a ton today, constraints have been giving me fits, simply because I did not understand how to apply them, looking forward to a better (more constrained) tomorrow! Happy 2019 to you Lars!
"Awesome!!! indeed. Even though i started with your beginner videos - the box, I continued to struggle "badly" trying to get some semblance of control over my simple creations! Suggestion - add a text mention at the end of the box video to watch this one next. This one nails it in so many ways, given the many controls available in F360. You rock!
OMG. The arc tangent dimension is amazing!! Thank you so much for that!!! I am always wanting a hole to be a certain distance away from the edge of a part to make sure there is enough material, or something like that. Honestly, dimensions from the center of an arc seem way less often used. What I used to do was draw tangent guide lines and specify the distance from there. Works, but very tedious, and pollutes the sketch with more non-essential lines. This is way better!
Thanks! This is very helpful. I'm a beginner and you filled in several gaps in my understanding, tied together a lot of concepts and answered several questions. I've been working through a book with 100 2D/3D widgets to learn drawing in F360 and was slowly figuring out the flow you demonstrated of sketch (makes sense why they're called sketches now!), constrain, then dimension. Also, I really liked the tip about staying in the line mode and then drawing a tangent arc - that is so much easier than what i was doing!
OMG I am learning so much. I wanted to mess around with this as just a fun thing. But now because of what is going on in 2020 I can't really afford to pay someone to design the things for my home project. So I am trying to design it myself. Your videos are so helpful even if some are old. No I can do some designs I been wanting to make and getting them CNC or even 3D printed is not a problem. Thanks so much. BTW my 11 son can't wait till he can get in here and start designing some things with me.
I think this is the video that makes the most sense for laying out. I too used to start adding dimensions first. Can't wait to have some time to make a few test sketches using this method...Thanks Lars!
I personally prefer to make fillets as a feature rather than in the sketch, simply because adding a fillet can break some of the relationships I may have set up on the line.
This is a very good point. I've had this come back on me after machining the first op and didn't catch the issue till after the soft jaws for the second op didn't come out correct.
Very helpful I've been dimensioning everything vs doing constraints! Explains why I've had so many issues iterating / carrying changes forward ( eg I have to edit previous steps through to the end )
Holy Heck! The mouse-generated tangent function you described has solved an 'issue' I was having with my 3DX CadMouse. I do get the occasional switch-bounce on the LH button and so was holding down the button to try to counter this. I suspected there was a function there that created some kind of arc that I was unaware of - and your explanation nails that one. Super-useful!! Now, if I can just get the mouse to occasionally stop drawing short lines at the beginning of the line I want, I will be a happy bunny! (I have lost count of the amount of times I have had lines being out by fractional angles or distances because there was a minute 'blip' at the beginning of a line. Sometimes these are not noticed until many extrusions have taken place - a l-o-n-g way down the timeline. 🤦♀️🤣🤣 )
You are really a good Guru, Larsji. Loved your Channel, Your Knowledge will definitely change the lives of technical students. I wished i could have made it those in my apprentice days. Anyway knowledge needs no bounds of ages.
Very easy to follow. When a person can show examples and be able to explain them where it is understandable then we know you know your business :) . Thank you!
I am constantly getting to a point in designs where I want to move things and can't work out which constraints are locking stuff down and preventing me. Often they are constraints that were auto applied and often to do with centre points. I end up dumping the whole design and starting again quite often. It would be great if you did a diagnostics video showing how to spot whats going on and how to unlock designs to adjust things
Thanks Lars - enjoyed that! Have been mucking about with sketch and now I know what those symbols on the sketch mean! Love those constraints! Have used Geogebra - a mathematical geometry program and the constraints in Fusion do the same thing and make sense! Thanks again, Stu
Another excellent training video, thank you Lars. Your style is perfect for me as a beginner and without your videos I think I may have given up. After watching a few videos I am getting comfortable with designing enclosures for my projects. Brilliant stuff :-)
I find with complicated parts or assemblies, constraints are great but its so easy to forget what is constrained to which line or point, especially with the collinear constraint. I would love a feature that you would be able to use, that references dimensions in separate sketches. That would help considerably in the customisation of a part.
Hi Lars. I'm already advanced to the beginning, but I have to consult thanks to your videos I'm still learning to see you, I'm looking forward to your professional videos I'm Pavel Taufer and I'm an Electrical Engineer and I need to do machine and so I must be interested in engineering
Coming from AutoCAD environment, I tend to perfect the sketch before extrusion, however what I discovered in Fusion 360 that you can keep some of the sketch items and extrude only what you need, which is strange to AutoCAD fellow, but it has great potential and time saving.
These videos are incredible. Does anyone know if there is an equivalent series for Autodesk Eagle? The only videos I've found so far are way too long and narrated with about 1/100th the amount of energy.
The over constraint has been puzzling me for ages as a complete newbie glad an old video helped me out. Do you have a video showing i.e. changing the 90 degree corners into a radio corner then selecting and deleting the original outside corner leaving the radius ??? thanks Wayne
wow, I just started working with fusion 360 and I'm so glad you make these video's. They explain all the features so well, I'll deff watch all your vids on fusion 360 to learn how to work with it properly. Thank you so much. I just had one question: How did you add constraints to your sketch palette? or do you already have a video out that explains how to do that?

I'm at the point in my learning curve where quick videos like this flesh out 'things I want to do easier and better'. Thanks for this.
This is one of your best videos -I'm biased.
Thank you for doing what you do for us.

Don't stop dude. Your lessons are absolutely great.
30 minutes of constraint explanation will solve all the issues I am having in my drawing! Thanks Lars!
Happy you found it helpful 👍😊Thank you for watching
First constraints then dimensions. Started today and this makes such a difference. Thanks once more.

I learn so much in your channel about F360. Sometimes small details unlock great potential. Merci beaucoup!
Hi Chopin Joseph Thank you for watching!
Another Thanks......GENIUS Explanations as always. For someone not "knowing" English......I think you know far more than I, and I'm native speaking!
Lars, thank you for your clear and concise explanation on using constraints and dimensions.
I just found this and I cannot believe how much time this will save me in the future! Thank you so much!

One of the best tutorial about Fusion 360. Thank you.
I can't thank you enough for doing these videos. This is exactly how I needed this to be explained and you really do a fantastic job.
Fantastic 👍Thank you for watching
Thank you Lars, you have been like a guardian angel on this Fusion adventure
lol, That is awesome to hear Pablo Hernández .Thank you for watching the videos
i learn every day, its so simple when i see you at work on fusion , good that you exist
Thank you Stamerra daniel
By watching your tutorials now I can design what I imagine. Thank you very much
You are so very welcome 👍😊
LOVE that right click for tangent dims! Needed it yesterday but learned today, lol.
Lol, that how it always is. Thank you for watching 👍😊

This was extremely helpful. Constraints are one of the hardest concepts to get down in Fusion 360, at least for me.
Thank you Justin Allen
Hey Lars,
Loud and clear, learn a lot !
Thanks to share your knowledge.
Very impressive way of teaching. Thanks for your time shared

Very easy to follow. When a person can show examples and be able to explain them where it is understandable then we know you know your business :) . Thank you!
Thank you Lars, very useful information and it explains what them symbols are!
This has been a good session - it’s cleared up several questions I had and it highlights some of the brilliant features of Fusion360.
Thanks Dude! Great video, it cleared up a lot of questions I have, especially when I go to edit my dimensions later.
"Collinear? How do I say that? It's not my language."
It is certainly better than me teaching anything in Danish.
Line on top of another line. Greetings Netherlands.
Excellent, just what I needed. Thank you. Keep up the fantastic work... I am here, cause you are there!
That is awesome to hear Wm Robert Leschyna .Thank you for watching the videos

Dette faen meg det beste online kurs jeg har vært med på, fantastisk lærerikt og spot on på det jeg lurer på...problemet er å huske alt
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Always learn something new watching your videos Lars. Guess I should watch more often :)
That is awesome to hear Mike Cameron .Thank you for watching the videos whenever you can :-)
Mr. Lars, you are the One. Thank you very much for time to help us. God bless you.
Thank you Jerome Drake
Hej Lars.
Denna video var nyttig för framtiden och som vanligt bra jobbat 😁

That is awesome to hear Robin Harris .Thank you for watching the videos
Loving your tutorials as a new user. Lots to learn
Keep 'em coming Lars. These are most helpful!
Thank you RlfRottn
fantastic! love the driven dimension toggling - thank you!!
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!

Thank You Lars
Thanks Lars, another great video!
This was extremely helpful... I’m as new as new gets. This helped me understand a lot of things and I’ll def be bookmarking it. Thank you!
You are so very welcome. Happy you found the video helpful
Best explanation on UA-cam ......thanks
That is awesome to hear federico camilo .Thank you for watching the videos
Great video...thanks for making these. I'm switching over from Rhino and I can't believe what I've been missing F360 is amazing
That is awesome to hear Andy Tanguay .Thank you for watching the videos
Thanks, definitely helped me with some stuff I have been struggling with. Love your videos.
new guy here very excited!! very helpful Lars!
Very intuitive explanation, thank you!
Another great tutorial. Like the Haas trainer on the shelf in the background. Wish I had one. Maybe next Xmas.Thanks Lars.
Thank you Craig Ozolins
Great clip very helpful as I have been bluffing my way through 2d without using constraints for ever..... Two thumbs up
Thank you Tj Kirkpatrick. Glad you found this helpful
Love watching your video,s ever thought of putting them all on a tutorial dvd it would really help an old guy like me to have them all in one place
Great video for us rookies
Hi Lars.
I'm already advanced to the beginning, but I have to consult thanks to your videos
I'm still learning to see you, I'm looking forward to your professional videos
I'm Pavel Taufer and I'm an Electrical Engineer and I need to do
machine and so I must be interested in engineering
Thanks! Very useful, indeed!
Glad you liked the video. Have a great day!

Hi Auday Sami Thank you for watching! ANd the great comment!
Dank je wel, voor je uitstekende
uitleg, thanks a lot for your excellent explanation
Extremely helpful. Thank you Lars.
you are the Boss! thank you Lars, much appreciated !
this vedio is really well done and explained really well, good job 😉😉😉
You are amazing teacher, I learned a lot from you. Thank you.
Followed the course on Skillshare and it wasn't 1/10 as good as your content. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Lars! I learned so much from you! Appreciated!
Love your tutorials Lars, thank you!
Awesome as usual and so very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Lars.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
Thank you! You are the best!
Extremely helpful video. Thanks so much!
This video is great! I'm new to F360 sketching
Will fusion ever have tips or expectations when hovering over a button? Be nice to see what everything does without having to search for it
These videos are incredible. Does anyone know if there is an equivalent series for Autodesk Eagle? The only videos I've found so far are way too long and narrated with about 1/100th the amount of energy.
Thank you. Helped me a lot!
Awesome to hear 👍😊Thank you for watching
Your explanations are super good!!!
The over constraint has been puzzling me for ages as a complete newbie glad an old video helped me out. Do you have a video showing i.e. changing the 90 degree corners into a radio corner then selecting and deleting the original outside corner leaving the radius ??? thanks Wayne
Thank you for watching. I don't think I have made that specific video, no.
You ´re Awesome!!! Thanks for your clear Explanation....

Awesome as usual. Thanks and happy new year.
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
This is a great effective tutorial...............THAKS DEAR
Hi meherab hossain Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for this explanation. It helped so much.
Superb educator, thanks ! Really good
wow, I just started working with fusion 360 and I'm so glad you make these video's. They explain all the features so well, I'll deff watch all your vids on fusion 360 to learn how to work with it properly. Thank you so much. I just had one question: How did you add constraints to your sketch palette? or do you already have a video out that explains how to do that?
I like your way to use Fusion 360 and you explain very good
that very good every time i am getting new info.
