sketch problems.. no written help files. videos are not helpful

Is there any resources for Fusion360 in the form of written help files ?

 

All I see is videos and this forum, and it is difficult to use this software when I have to stop and watch a video that usually doesn't cover what I need.

 

in this context... what are the procedures for adding and removing ALL constraints in a sketch. and what are ALL of the color designations of points and lines in a sketch. I have an imported SVG  I want to use as a profile of an engraving and I cant unlock it from an offset plane to move it. also some nodes are bright green and some are dull green and most lines aren't useable for engraving.

If you create a component, activate it and start a sketch then import the SVG when you activate the top component again you will be able to pick the component with the SVG sketch and move. Make sure the Object type is set to Component on the Move dialog

I have done that but one corner of the svg is somehow anchored.
There are no resources available to search what the node colors are and what the different node configurations mean (black, faded green, hollow bright green , blue, fuzzy blue ,sharp blue ring. etc.etc)

Can you upload a file with the SVG inserted. From the file menu select Export Select f3d as the type and pick save to my computer.

You can select all objects in the sketch (Left click and drag), then select 'Break Link' from the context menu. You may need to make a copy the sketch into your main component (or a new one). 

Note: This works in Direct Modeling mode. I haven't tried it in Timeline mode.

Break Link doesn't work either...

 

I ended up eliminating the sketch from my design in order to finish the project.
