Couple of points: 1. never put dimensions inside of parts. 2. dimensioning the wall thickness creates a double dimension (place thickness of ID in parentheses). 3. dimension and tolerance should have the same number of decimal places. FYI I've been designing and drafting for 50+ years so I do have a little experience :-)
I really enjoy your videos. They help me a lot to figure out Fusion 360. With that being said, I work full time as an mechanical engineer with machining drawings and to dimension these prints accurately, one really needs to familiarize themselves with ANSI. A few things to note right off: - The thickness measurement is fine, but it is now a reference. This is denoted by ( ) around the dimension. - I would have deleted the bottom most section because it is repetitive. You can get all the info you need from your Section BB. - The radius TYP thing is confusing on your drawing. You need to clear that up to the 'machinist' - We do NOT use periods (.) after anything, I think it just adds confusion. So 0.1 RAD TYP or 0.1R TYP is better, IMO. Anyway, ANSI is a rabbit hole by itself that one can spend many hours on learning. I am not a pro myself. Thanks again for helping me understand the mechanics behind creating a 2D dwg!
Very good, as usual. Thanks. I’m starting to get past the total beginner stage, so when I see what you’re modelling I pause the video and do it myself, to see how my effort compares. I get there, but you always have some clever tricks I didn’t know. It helps that I have an Aeropress to measure. Excellent choice of model.
It is easy and deceptive to work on such a simple part having little details. In Fusion 360 when you try to get technical drawing of a rather complex part it is almost impossible to locate dimensions to place where you want, width sizes of texts and dimension arrows are not configurable. It is impossible to get a drawing without overlapping of dimensions. I do not even mention that the drawing is not able to update itself according to changes in the model. Technical drawing of Fusion 360 has lots of gaps which should be improved.
Missed the live stream and thank God I can find it here! Very interesting and helpful video something that I was wanting to see for some time. Thanks Lars for another amazing tutorial. Thumbs up! Cheers
One caveat with 2D drawings in Autodesk Fusion 360, is that it gets confusing with the lines of the actual model and the lines used for dimensioning. I always end up exporting the PDF, from Fusion 360 to Adobe illustrator, to give the dimension lines a different color, a shade of grey. This makes the black lines of the model prominent, creating less confusion. Again, thank you very much for the video, I did learn quite a few new things.
Hi Olivier Van hamme Thank you for watching! Have you checked the idea station for voting on the possibilities of line weight and color? forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-ideastation-request-a/idb-p/125
Is there a way to control line weights? An object line would be heavier than a dimension line. On a complicated part, it can become confusing when all the lines are the same weight.
Hello lars thank you for all your videos I I am new to fusion 360 but I was 30 years ago on autocad and turbo cad then I start2 years ago with invention I was trained in technical drawing with pencil and drawing board.... You say if you can ads something.... I taught to do iso projection so you work into 3 fields front view that go s top left sized view go s top right top view go s left buttom any nodes go above info box that how we made are 2d drawing we worked in the DIN norm.... Keep on producing videos lars thank you so much
Really cool video. Would have like to see some information on uncoupling the views from their parent views (i.e. if you didn't want the Detail A or B to be in a direct line from the base view). Not sure if it is possible to do that, but it would be a handy feature for larger drawings with multiple small features.
I cannot open the 3D obj file into the Design Drawing. I upload the 3D object, I put it into the scene, selecting it, then I go design - draw from design and nothing happens. No action.
Could you expand subject by how to create multiple 2d drawings from assembly so all components can be presented for manufacturing. A box with lid you created in one of your previous videos would be great example. Is there some efficient wayto do it or each component have to be done separately ?
ONLY Hard Anodize and Tufram anodizing build-up any size....specific plating notations always state....".0001 in/out means half in half out....chromium plating hard/in out specifies any build-up" regular anodize does not add any size allowances....only working to .0001 or .00005 and those are super-accurate workpieces...
Very informative, thank you. I have a piece with clusters of multiple holes with the same and different sizes. Is there an easy way to draw arrows from multiple holes to one single dimension? Also is it better practice to include threadings for holes in drawings or just call out the threading size on the side?
Hi Lars. First of all, thank you for all the helpful videos! I am looking for a way to change / rename the section view's or detail view's label. I had created a first section view, then deleted it and created a new one. Now there a single section view that is labeled as B-B. I would like to change it into A-A. Do you know whether there is a way? Many thanks in advance. BR Yavuz
Hi Lars, I am always amassed every time I look for a solution to a problem or learn new stuff.. Great video #84 creating a 2d drawing, it was perfect I did everything I needed to do but printing it was another matter, I created in 11 x 17" document when I created the new drawing, all is good - I print to my 11 x 17 printer and it prints 1/4 of the page on a 8.5 x 11 page? .... what am I doing wrong here, thanks again for all your great videos... regards Terry (Canada)
dimensioning question if I have a plate with 2 round posts sticking out of the surface how do I dimension between the posts looking at them from the face of the plate so only the profile of the plate and the circles of the posts are showing. I want the min distance and max distance across the circles. in solid works this would be easy. I cannot do it in fusion.
it would be really great if we could import and use the sketch / body dimension data instead of rewriting the dimensions for the whole print. Many times the dimension tool is no where near accurate enough even when I have several decimal places selected (god help you if you have small chamfers / filet etc. . Drawing tools need improvements... as of October 2018.....
I have a question...i have a floor plan sketch i created.. when i create base view of that drawing... the the drawing lines with in the base view look like construction lines..doted -..-..- why Also how can rotate the viewport base view if need it landscape ie for 8x11 paper
Good morning ( in the Netherlands) Lars first of all, many many thanks for the great tutorials you create. As a retired maintenance manager I am new to the Fusion 360 community. And I have a question; is it possible to have more than one component or body, detailed with dimensions in the 2D drawing?
Yes I taught 25 years of paper/pencil drafting. Line thickness still counts. In sectioning, one should not draw section lines parallel to object lines. Can you change the angle of section lines. In my previous post I asked, can you scale the section pattern for the size of the part drawn? If not the section lines will be lost on small parts. My CAD program allows me to change these.
Hi Larry Hoelscher Thank you for watching! Yes, I know that the development team are aware that the drawings module needs some more features...I am sure they are working as fast as possible. BEst, Lars
ok i tried this way,yes works,nice,but i can not use a complete 2d design to make my needed parts,so again,who can i make a 2d print from the sketches i make
Hi Lars, Very good and helpful videos, thanks! One question ? In detail A , how to dimension 60 deg. angle ( 6 pcs) ? In drawings would be nice to be able to draw construction lines from center to existing qeometry and then give the dimension for angle. This could be added to geometry toolbar. BR Jani
Hi jani jokivirta Thank you for watching! That is a very good question! I will have to reach out to someone on the product side and see what they have to say. BEst, Lars
yes nice a 2d drawing,but what if you can not print it,that option i still not found in fusion 360,that option is not available in fusion 360,only 3d printing
Hi jovlem Thank you for watching! For single part drawings, you will normally find the material in either the title block or an inserted note. If you have an assembly, you will find people are using something like a table. Hope you have an awesome day! Best, Lars
I think that you need to go to the drawing menu, go though the process that Lars just showed and then print. I had the same question and I think I figured that there's a difference between sketch and drawing when it comes to printing.
@@johnlake6321 well he means how to make a scaled print from a sketch,i am trying to find out too,you can not open a sketch in drawing mode and then print
Hi Lars. thank you for the video. Could you advise, please: you have only one body in your project, what if you have many bodies and want to create drawings for all of them, not as assembly but as separate parts, i.e. three parts => three drawings, one drawing contains one part. How to do it in the most time efficient way?
I'm new to this, but what I've learned is you will have to create separate components from the bodies. Then you can create separate drawings of each component.
Is there an easier way to flatten an image on its axis. I have a flat piece of glass but after importing is skewed the way it would be in the actual project. I need to make a drawing of the glass and its rotation is off. Is there a way to get the flat pane to snap to the grid or adjust the grid to meet up with the flat surface?
Each line should have a different thickness. In sectioning, different patterns for different materials but you need to be able to scale the pattern to fit the part size. I did not see if that is possible with Fusion360??
Hi Larry Hoelscher Thank you for watching! Are you talking about different cross-hatching for different materials? Not sure I totally understand what you mean about a pattern. The rules for 2D drawings go back to when it was all done on paper....One could suggest it is about time someone rewrites the rules as that method is long gone.
OK, I am hooked on your teaching videos. As in your coffee scoop, the section view is very material. Can you change the angle of the sectioning pattern? Can you change the spacing of the pattern for small sections? And yes for 25 years of teaching paper/pencil drafting before switching to CAD. Did or have they moved on the issue of line thickness? My laser printer needs me to increase my line thickness to distinguish lines.
Hey Lars , Great video once again. I have a question that's confusing me and cant find how to fix it. In my drawing view I'm measuring a circles diameter and its suppose to be .125 based off my model, but it keeps giving me .130. Any idea why this is giving me a wrong dimension? I'm measuring it in the front base view. Thanks

I have drawn a sheet metal cone 970x500x300x5mm that I need help with ... I will bend it in a bending press, as I do not have access to a roller bender. For the sake of convenience, the cut-out plate is divided into 2 halves. I will bend each part with 15 bendings, which together will be 180 degrees and then welded together. How do I prepare this in Fusion 360? Then each bending in degrees must be converted into press depth in mm, (ex 15 bendings at 8 ° = 180 ° translate bending with 8mm press depth = 180 ° round sheet cone and then welding together to be 360 ° Thanks for help..!!! //Håkan in Sweden
Hi Håkan Forsberg Thank you for watching! I would draw it up with the 15 bends using the flange tool in the sheet metal environment. We don't have the function yet where we can convert a solid cone into a sheet metal part. Hope this is useful. Best, Lars
Hi Lars ... Some adjustments on the measure ... Sheet metal Cone is 970x500x300x5xmm yes ... Must be bent in two separate parts, 2x180 ° and welded together. 1st part with 15 bending at 12° (15x12° = 180°) = welded together = 360° Thanks in advance .. !! , please show me a RUclips movie so I can learn for the future ...

Hello. Imagine you have to make a lathe part, with many diameters and lengths. How can we have a drawing of a section view with shortened diameter dimmensions?. Like a large ring part with multiple features.
Thank you for all that you do here! You are awesome! Question... In this 2d drawing video, the coffee spoon has a line around the circumference that disappears in the drawing. I have a clean model, but I also have several lines that I cannot hide from fillets or lofts. I just realized that they are the lines between faces. Could you tell me how to hide them or join faces?
Hi Marc Mason Thank you for watching! I am not hundred percent sure I totally follow(I might need more coffee) But if you right-click and select edit View, you can change different display of lines. There are pretty strict rules in the 2D world on how drawings should be dispayed so be careful you don't hide lines that could confuse who need to make the part....just saying :-)
so just like cad, where i came from, but when you build a full project with things inside of things it becomes hard to detail it out.. any tips on that? wow just seen this is from 2017.. humm no replies I bet here.. time to find another video
Might be a little late but what I learned when I took a course about this was: Make a drawing of each seperate part of your thing for instance your thing is a bar with a wheel on it assembled with a bolt and nut. Make a drawing first on the bar, then the wheel, and finally an "assembly" drawing describing how you combine the two parts. Here most people also add a BOM (Bill Of Materials) with a reference number/name to the technical drawings of each part. I hope I am not too late and that this made some sense, and that it also answered your questions :)

it is to damn big! I cannot fit a front and side view without printing over the title block! I need a low profile title block that does not consume 1/3 of the bottom of the page!
Hi Mark's Engineering Thank you for watching! It will add a thin layer, so from a machining standpoint you will have to make all your dimensions undersize to accommodate. Hope you have an awesome day! Best, Lars
f*ck greating new drawing template not available on hobby comerial use version :( only for subscribe payd version thats very expensive for poeple like me to just drawing a square with 4 holes.
this fusion 360 is the least intuitive friendly cad I have ever had to suffer through Taking so much wasted time to simply sketch and then send to a desktop printer is a disgrace the whole 3d print so called option is a total waste My 8 year old Solidworks is like a Rolls Royce compared to the Model T fusion 360 Typical AutoDesk ("all the programmers are on meth) software

I would like to see how to put text on a curved surface
Hi Andrew Gilmour Thank you for watching!
I know wrap function is up on the idea station. There are a couple of work arounds that we could play with....I'll put it on the list :-)
Is it possible to scale up the shapes inside the drawing? The shape I have created seems tiny in the drawing
Not sure if you can scale in drawings but you can scale different bodies in the modelling stage
Of course you can 1:1. 1:2. 1:3. Etc
Question, can you create a custom paper size for the drawing? If so how?
Hi Sotm Thank you for watching!
That is not supported yet. Hope it will be soon.

I have drawn a sheet metal cone 970x500x300x5mm that I need help with ... I will bend it in a bending press, as I do not have access to a roller bender. For the sake of convenience, the cut-out plate is divided into 2 halves. I will bend each part with 15 bendings, which together will be 180 degrees and then welded together. How do I prepare this in Fusion 360? Then each bending in degrees must be converted into press depth in mm, (ex 15 bendings at 8 ° = 180 ° translate bending with 8mm press depth = 180 ° round sheet cone and then welding together to be 360 ° Thanks for help..!!! //Håkan in Sweden
Hi Håkan Forsberg Thank you for watching!
I would draw it up with the 15 bends using the flange tool in the sheet metal environment. We don't have the function yet where we can convert a solid cone into a sheet metal part.
Hope this is useful.
Best,
Lars
Hi Lars ...
Some adjustments on the measure ... Sheet metal Cone is 970x500x300x5xmm yes ...
Must be bent in two separate parts, 2x180 ° and welded together. 1st part with 15 bending at 12° (15x12° = 180°) = welded together = 360° Thanks in advance .. !! , please show me a RUclips movie so I can learn for the future ... (is a dedicated home mechanic in my Garage ..) //Håkan (tell me when the movie is ready to look at... ☺ )
Hello. Imagine you have to make a lathe part, with many diameters and lengths. How can we have a drawing of a section view with shortened diameter dimmensions?. Like a large ring part with multiple features.
As far as I know, you can’t make shorten dimensions in Fusion. There might be a work around on RUclips somewhere
@@cadcamstuff that is a little sad. Hole wizzard doesn't have NPT holes either
loubee how would you make a drawing of the part when a 3D drawing of the part does not exist?
Hi Louis Bogdan Thank you for watching!
In the past, I have made the 3D model so I could make the drawing.
Thank you for all that you do here! You are awesome! Question... In this 2d drawing video, the coffee spoon has a line around the circumference that disappears in the drawing. I have a clean model, but I also have several lines that I cannot hide from fillets or lofts. I just realized that they are the lines between faces. Could you tell me how to hide them or join faces?
Hi Marc Mason Thank you for watching!
I am not hundred percent sure I totally follow(I might need more coffee) But if you right-click and select edit View, you can change different display of lines. There are pretty strict rules in the 2D world on how drawings should be dispayed so be careful you don't hide lines that could confuse who need to make the part....just saying :-)
so just like cad, where i came from, but when you build a full project with things inside of things it becomes hard to detail it out.. any tips on that? wow just seen this is from 2017.. humm no replies I bet here.. time to find another video
yessir
Might be a little late but what I learned when I took a course about this was:
Make a drawing of each seperate part of your thing for instance your thing is a bar with a wheel on it assembled with a bolt and nut. Make a drawing first on the bar, then the wheel, and finally an "assembly" drawing describing how you combine the two parts. Here most people also add a BOM (Bill Of Materials) with a reference number/name to the technical drawings of each part.
I hope I am not too late and that this made some sense, and that it also answered your questions :)
Thanks
You are so very welcome :-) Thank you for watching!
keep going men
when i try to dimension my part instead of .025 it rounds up to .03 how do i make the dimension stick to the original .025?
nevermind found it!!!

Hi pumpSHO Thank you for watching!
Glad you figured it out.
Best,
Lars
Lars Christensen no thank you for helping us all become better
I'm having the same problem and you link is no longer showing info. How did you fix you deminsion from not rounding up?
@@pumpSHO In my drawing view I'm measuring a circles diameter and its suppose to be .125 based off my model, but it keeps giving me .130. Any idea why this is giving me a wrong dimension? I'm measuring it in the front base view. How did you fix this?
it is to damn big! I cannot fit a front and side view without printing over the title block! I need a low profile title block that does not consume 1/3 of the bottom of the page!
I would also like to edit the title block. Did you find a way to do it?
UPDATE (editing the title block): forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/edit-title-block/m-p/8221967#M33914
one baaaady ;)
anodising will remove material. not add.
Hi Mark's Engineering Thank you for watching!
It will add a thin layer, so from a machining standpoint you will have to make all your dimensions undersize to accommodate.
Hope you have an awesome day!
Best,
Lars
Where do get the Fusion 360 t-shirts?
Hi Vince Shanks Thank you for watching!
I normally get mine at tradeshows :-)
Thanks!

f*ck greating new drawing template not available on hobby comerial use version :( only for subscribe payd version thats very expensive for poeple like me to just drawing a square with 4 holes.
this fusion 360 is the least intuitive friendly cad I have ever had to suffer through
Taking so much wasted time to simply sketch and then send to a desktop printer is a disgrace
the whole 3d print so called option is a total waste
My 8 year old Solidworks is like a Rolls Royce compared to the Model T fusion 360
Typical AutoDesk ("all the programmers are on meth) software
How can I switch to landscape view? It will only show portrait view, when I create a new drawing from scratch.
