The Autodesk® Fusion 360™ Introduction to Parametric Modeling student guide provides you with an understanding of the parametric design philosophy using the Autodesk® Fusion 360™ software. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, learn the key skills and knowledge required to design models using the Autodesk Fusion 360 software.
About the Software
As a cloud-based platform, updates are frequently available for the Autodesk Fusion 360 software. This courseware has been developed using software version: 2.0.2016. If you are using a version of the software later then version 2.0.2016, you might notice some variances between images and workflows in this student guide and the software that you are using.
Course Prerequisites
As an introductory book, no prior knowledge of any 3D modeling or CAD software is required. However, students do need to be experienced with the Windows operating system and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended.

Course Objectives
Identify the main interface elements, their setup and what Help information is available, and to create and use drawing template files.
Describe the object property management system in which layers are configured and the tools for manipulating layers.
Describe the workflows for organizing drawing geometry and create a mechanical structure in a drawing by creating components, component views, and folders.
Describe the core mechanical design tools of rectangle, hatch, fillet, chamfer, holes, slots, and threads and how to use them to create and modify geometry in your drawings.
Modify and edit drawing objects by creating multiple offset copies, scaling them with separate values for the X and Y direction, or using a power command.
Insert industry standard parts into you assembly designs.
Create production-ready drawings in model space and layouts of structured and non-structured geometry and insert title blocks and borders.
Notate a drawing through the creation and editing of dimensions, hole charts, fits list and mechanical symbols.
Explain how to create and edit a bill of materials, parts list and balloons.
Describe the tools that you can use to verify whether or not the standard part or custom parts within your design meet or exceed the requirements of operational use.
Exchange data between CAD systems in the form of Mechanical DWG and IGES files and create Mechanical drawings using inventor Link.
Create a custom drawing template that includes the configuration settings for layers, object properties, symbols, text, BOMs, parts list, balloons, and other annotation tools.
