Assembly procedures in Fusion 360

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Oct 2019 17:47:10 GMT

I have used other CAD software, I would create several parts, then create an assembly in which I import, position and perform whatever degree of freedom I would love in the assembly window.

I have been struggling for hours trying do this in Fusion 360 I have a total of 10 parts created. I have watched several YouTube videos and some are even more confusing.

Please can someone help with video on assembly. Create more than one parts or bodies, save and then import in to Fusion 360 for assembly. I want to watch that process for converting more than one bodies to components in one window in Fusion 360.

I would I appreciate any effort render in this regard.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d files to local folder and then zip and Attach the folder here.

You are probably used to using a bottom-up approach where each part is a separate component file (like the real world), where most Fusion users use a top-down technique creating all or most components within a single file.

I have opened the parts I designed and saved them as components which then showed the assembly icon.

But when I tried to opened from the browser, the select icon wasn't activated. Please can someone help out. ..

@Anonymous - you're going to have to be a bit more explicit about what you are having trouble with. Can you record a screencast/video showing what you are trying to do? Are you having problems creating designs and inserting them into a higher level assembly? Are you asking about how to position components once they are inserted? We just need a bit more info about what you are struggling with before we can effectively help.

Have you tried the help on distributed designs?
