Fusion 360 is a computer-assisted design software package. It is parametric, which means that you can always go back and change parameters and the entire design will update to match.

Typical workflow:

  1. Create a sketch
  2. Extrude the sketch
  3. Modify body
  4. Export

Creating a sketch

  1. Select a surface to sketch on (plane or face of object)
  2. Draw components (lines, circles, et al)
  3. Specify dimensions
  4. Apply constraints
  5. Finish sketch

Extruding a sketch

  1. Select sketch
  2. Select parameters
  3. Finish

Modifying bodies

  1. Fillets/chamfers
  2. Combining bodies

Exporting

  1. Select object
  2. Select destination
  3. Export
