Hi mates, I'm new for Fusion 360, I want to make rollcage like design but I cannot join those pipes properly as in SolidWorks. I'm experienced in SolidWorks, and these things done by itself. Thanks in advance.rcjoints.png

this is actually a very complex problem, in both software, and in real life.  You have to over-build the pipes, and use Combine and Split Body to split the tubes into sections that can be connected.  Are all the tubes here guaranteed to be the same diameter?  That helps the solution a bit.

@jeff_strater mate, in SolidWorks it is not complicated, program do it everything done when I swipe it, but in the other hand Fusion 360 makes it complicated but ok for now

Fusion does not "make" it complicated. It "Is" complicated.

The difference between Fusion 360 is a 5-10 fold increase in pricing and 20 years in development.

When I started working with SW in 1998 it did not do this (and a lot of other tings) either. It was added much later to make things more efficient.

 

The fact that this is much less work in SolidWorks does not mean it is less complicated. It means a host of talented software engineers have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours of their mental capacity to figure out how to do this automatically, so you don't have to.

Where did you go?

Did you figure out the problem?

 

If you are looking for equivalent tools to SolidWorks for this - you will need Autodesk Inventor Professional - Frame Generator and Weldments.
