Easy Way To Correct Design After Resizing Support Brackets

Working on the design for a CNC Router I am going to build.  This is also my initial "real" project so many hours have gone into the design so far.

 

I was initially going to use 1/2" aluminum for the brackets but have recently decided to go with 3/16 steel.  While changing the thickness of the ~40 brackets isn't a big deal, it's going to change the dimensions of the whole frame.  Is there a tool or an easy way in Fusion 360 that can assist with all of the changes?

I believe the only way would be if you used parameters to design your frame.

Hmm, didn't even know that was an option.  Always something new to learn!

Making parametric design changes like this is what Mechanical CAD is all about.

I suspect that you have already inadvertently done a lot of extra work.

Can you File>Export and then Attach your *.f3d file here?

I figured as much on both fronts.  I'm OK with burning some time learning the basics and now that I have that down, any further learning will be much appreciated!

 

f3d attached...

This looks like 95%+ of this design is imported geometry and this does not originate in Fusion 360.

Changes are possible but require different techniques than a fully parametric design created in Fusion 360.
