G’day Randy. I love your thinking mate. This is same philosophy I have when teaching other teachers to use CAD. I encourage them to model things in their shop. Fusion360 is good software. I’m glad I get it for free. Cheers 🍻. Aaron
Thank you for clear instructions. I've recently started out with CAD. The last time I actually worked with drawings was over 20 years ago in school. I now model all the projects I'm working on first, then go out to the workshop (at home as a hobbyists) to make them. I would love to get a better understanding of what a technical drawing is supposed to look like, where dimensions should be, and what other information should be in the title block.
G'day Bosbulls. Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching and commenting. May I commend you for learning CAD and for modelling your project before making it. Now doubt that you've probably worked out that I'm a high school shop teacher. I try hard to install this philosophy into my students "model it before making it". As for technical drawings, its really defined by which country you live in. For example, in Australia our technical drawings must meet Australian Standards AS1100.101-1992. Click this link to a 200 page PDF copy on those standards and their examples: astcad.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/AS1100.101-1992-Technical-Dwgs.pdf. I am by no means a qualified draftsman, as that's a trade / profession in its own right. Like you, I was taught drawings at high school, but did more at trade school and CAD at university for my teacher training. The reason I started doing CAD tutorials again was to help my high school students. We are in lock down again and it's impossible to teach CAD over Zoom. Hopefully this will get them over the line. Cheers, Aaron.
G’day Micheal. Thanks mate, I really appreciate your feedback. I’ve been pumping these out to support my high school engineering students complete their CAD unit. Fingers crossed that they can understand and follow them. Cheers 🍻. Aaron
Hi Aaron, Another good video... I have a few more things to get done in the workshop and then I am going to dedicate some time to Fusion360... these videos will help... Take care. Paul,,
G’day Paul. Appreciate your support mate. Absolutely, get yourself a free hobbyist license and give it a go. Matty has been practicing a little. I just hope these tutorials help my students. Our premier announced today we will remain in lockdown until vaccine rates hit 70% 🤦♂️ FML
Hey Chris. Hope you doing well up there? Thanks for following along mate. I appreciate your support. Cheers, Aaron. PS: I had Matty from Matty's Workshop do some of these for me also. He said the same thing you did LOL
You are pumping them out! I almost understood that. Not sure if I have revolve cut in Keycreator I must have a look, there are times it might be useful. I would have drawn half the profile, revolved it to make it a solid then trimmed it to a hex polygon. How many more of these tutorials can we expect? I hope there are a few more.
G’day Nigel. It’s nice to hear from you mate. Trust you’re traveling well during all this craziness down here in the Covid State? Yes, I’ve been pumping the video tutorials out to assist my high school engineering students to complete their CAD unit via remote learning. I’m not trying to creat professional draftsman, this is an introduction to CAD etc… hopefully these tutorials get them over the line. Teaching CAD remotely via zoom is nearly impossible 🤦♂️. Cheers 🍻, Aaron
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering Not impossible, just a little slower and I reckon even I could follow it. Tutorial is run as if they already have some awareness of Fusion, which I assume they do? You do this quite well, have you thought about a teaching career? LOL
G'day Kevin. Yes that is correct mate. I design in the model workspace and then switch over to the CAM workspace. I apply tool paths (with the correct rpm and feed rates) and then post process the code. Transfer with a nerd stick into the controller and push the green "go fast button". Of course you still need to tell fusion the G54 co-ordinate position. Do you have a simple part that you would like me to make and demonstrate for you? Feel free to send me an email mate. Cheers, Aaron.

Nicely done with the center punch. I use Fusion almost everyday. Sometimes just for fun. Best way to learn model everything you do in the shop.

That was great mate.I haven't drawn anything for a while and enjoyed that little tutorial.

On fire! Nice! :)
Thanks Gil. If you get time you should try to complete the tutorials. Cheers 🍻. Aaron
@@DCT_Aaron_Engineering I have some time next week. Looking forward to levelling up my F360 skills :)

And I’m enjoying the learning mate, very handy to know
Thank you Mr Powter
No BS & even muggins me can understand that.

@@smallcnclathes Thanks Nigel. No, I’ve never had inclination to teach 🤣. Most say I’m not a teachers arsehole 😝
Hi Aaron, great series so far.
A question: For your Syil 7 CNC at home do you create your CAM machining's straight from Fusion 360?. Regards Kevin
