Hello,
I beginner in Fusion 360.
What are the differences between the black lines, and the blue ones ?
And how to manage/set them ?
In this example, the 3 vertical "lines" are in reality 3 giant circles.
2 are black, and 1 is blue ! (why ?)
Black lines seem don't really work about magnet :
To select the centre of this circle, I can't find the magnet between the black vertical "line", and the lower circle.
The little horizontal line was made after from the centre, but finally don't touch the vertical "line" ...
To make a blue circle, that work better to no use the centre of the document, and then, move it ! (bug ?)
Bur finally, blue circles don't work all time ...
Here (new project)
The 3 verticals "lines" are 3 circles 81mm 80mm 79mm
The circle showed is a 1mm one
Impossible to select the intersection between this circle and the vertical "line" in the middle !
That work often on other circles with other sizes, but not here 😞
Bug ?
If you have not done so, please go through the tutorials in the Support and Learning section. You'l likely have questions but will have a better foundation to ask those.
It doesn't do random things.
Fusion 360has different viewport environments, which you can change through the little menu bar at the bottom-center of the Fusion 360 window.
What the line colors mean is different in these environments. Blue lines mean that the sketch object is not fully constrained and dimensioned also sometimes referred to as not fully defined.
A sketch item will turn from blue to black as soon as it is fully defined.
So when you start sketching a circle and it snaps to the sketch origin, it will be constrained to that sketch origin, but will still be blue. When you then dimension it it will turn black.
However, circles sketched somewhere else on the sketch plane will remain blue, even when you dimension them, because the center point of the circle is not defined. So you'll have to constrain it to "something" or dimension it or both.
Thank you !
But is there a solution to switch this mode ? (black/blue)
In doing all time the same,
Many 82mm circles centred on the document are black,
All 82mm circles not centred on the document are blue ...
My sketches are not so complicated !
If Autodesk is not able to do so simple things, the software don't interest me ...
To test, I draw a cap for lens (82mm)
A part work as a spring.
I wanted to do this form, but have to remove the 3 red cross.
Impossible because Fusion is not able to find intersection between 2 circles !

Yes, I had explained that already!
Fully constrain and dimension you sketches. Do you understand what a "constraint" is ?
