Editing an arc in model mode

Good Day,

 

I modeled a part but I noticed I need to edit the arc to match the circle arc I drew as a templet.

I'm enclosing the drawing for your review. 

If someone can direct me to the correct way of editing this drawing, I would appreciate it very much.

 

Thank you for your time and input

it looks like you deleted your sketch you used to make your extrude.  (that's why you have errors in your timeline).  Then you preceded to do a bunch of moves and offset faces to effect the shape.  basically, a cut and paste, photo shop type of approach.

this approach doesn't work great with parametric modelers.

a couple of suggestions.

-don't delete any sketches you use to make something.

-do delete empty sketches and un-used commands as you go so they don't clutter up your time line.

-NEVER use move to move a body.

if you had kept the sketch, all you would have had to do is edit the sketch to change your shape.  here's a screen cast of what I mean.

Thank you very much for your critique on my drawing. I deleted the posted drawing and created a new one. I come from the old 3D Studio Viz drafting which is helpful and painfully confusing when it comes to Fusion 360. 

 

Thank you for your example of the part I'm fabricating. You made it look so easy. I struggle each time I open up F360 but I manage to get the job done.

 

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it very much.

Hello you post this some time ago but I kept in my files. I want to thank you for showing me this process. I just used it again today. If I don't use this often it tends to slip my mind..

 

Thank you very much for showing  me this process, it has helped me tremendously.

 

Thank you again
