I am trying to assemble an item out of multiple parts. In inventor you make multiple separate parts and then combine them in an assembly. I have found this is not the case in Fusion. I have a couple different objects made and am looking to assemble them... Any help?</P> Tue, 21 Jun 2016 22:33:56 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/fusion-360-assemblies/m-p/6397037#M254898 Anonymous 2016-06-21T22:33:56Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/fusion-360-assemblies/m-p/6397051#M254899 <P>That works in Fusion 360 as well. Its just that these objects have to be components, not bodies. <A href="http://fusion360.autodesk.com/learning/learning.html?guid=GUID-E37B0456-A867-429F-BF69-6A4626DD31E7" target="_self">Here is some documentation explaining the difference between bodies and components</A>.</P> <P>The best way to create a component is to follow Fusion 360 R.U.L.E #1: Before doing anything, create a component and make sure it's activated.</P> <P>After activation all objects such as sketches, bodies, construction planes, joint origins, etc. are created in that component.</P> <P>If you want to edit another existing component, activate it before doing so.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>IF you are using linked components often referred to as X-REFs you don't need to do that as long as it os really only one component and not an assembly.
