Thanks for enlightenment.

I’m not sure what tutorial you’re referring to. The online tutorial doesn’t have page numbers.

[WHolzwarth]

Well, Jeff, it's my 1st day back with Fusion 360.

But look at the attachment.

Are you on a Mac or Windows Operating System?  The Library shown is for a Mac.

If you're on a Mac, you will key in the value of '25' in the diameters dialog, to filter out all the 25mm Tools.

[WHolzwarth]

Curtis, I'm on Windows environment. No plans for switching to Mac.

But Fusion 360 team should think about purpose of tutorials. They need to be reliable.

Therefore, if there are different ways of workflows in Windows and MAC, please provide beginners with adequate tutorials. Otherwise, there's some frustration.

The tool library they are showing in the tutorial is the new library that will be in the Mac and Windows versions.  Right now it is in the Mac version only.

I'm trying to find out how or if we can get windows version as well.

[WHolzwarth]

Thanks for quick reply, Jeff.

Meanwhile I went through the CAM tutorials, but it wasn't quite easy. I had to create most of the tools, that were used in the tutorial, by my own through duplicating and editing. Maybe, I simply didn't find the right place.

But IMO, many of the millions of people who'd never used CAD tools before will run into the same difficulties.

Absolutely agree. We are looking at how we can get a better tutorial for the windows side until we get the new tool library in both sides.

[WHolzwarth]

Fine, Jeff.

Another remark: I'm here on a 2-screen-system with both 1920x1200 pixels. Resolution seems good enough for me. I don't think, that CAD can really be done economically on a smartphone, and I don't use tablets.

But when looking at the tutorials with my Windows environment, I'm missing a resizing option for the screenshot animations. Many texts are too small for being read, and I'd like to have a start-pause-goon button for these animations. In many times I had to play them several times for realizing, what's going on.
