Very nice job on this tutorial! I like the clean and simple explanation, how you don’t go off on tangents that confuse the original subject and you get strait to the operation of it. Plus the summery is really helpful to fully grasp the differences. Thank You!
I really like your summary at the end of the video. I think this is an excellent method to help ensure learning has taken place. Autodesk's "Insert Derive" nomenclature is unfortunate--it's very clunky, non-descriptive, non-intuitive term, located in a place one wouldn't necessarily think to look for this type of operation. Thanks for showing this to us!
Some people have commented the name of this feature is misleading however 'Insert Derive' is proper ie: you can derive new modelling from the imported bodies and sketches. For example, you can import a sketch and use that as a base for new modelling but you cannot modify the sketch perse, that you can only do from the source file. Also, although you can modify an imported solid say by adding a chamfer to an edge if you modify the same edge from the source file you will run into errors. The 'Insert Derive' feature is only good for that: deriving (!) and any changes done to the source may lead to catastrophic effects downstream, so you have to be careful what you do. The 'Insert into current Drawing' feature avoids these types of conflicts however it does have other limitations so both ways of importing have their strengths and weaknesses
1:25 Update in 2022 Fusion added Edit In Place which lets you activate and edit an external component in the context of the assembly without leaving the parent design.

I like your videos, short and to the point. Can you derive a feature to use between designs? can you drill a center drill hole in one part and use it in another part. allowing you to library a set of saved standardized features.

straight to the point instructions and easy to understand explanation. one of the best Fusion 360 channels I've watched.

thank you
One of the very best tutorials for fushion 360 ... love all of them .. thankyou
Didn't know about the "insert derive" function, gonna try it out in the future. Thank you for this informative video!!!

Thank you so much fr
cube-v14 ... there's been some work put into that perfect cube
Clear explanation. Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial.
