Problems with the "Fusion 360 for Engineers Part 1" Course

Hi there,

 

I'm encountering a couple of issues with the Fusion 360 for Engineers Part 1 Course.

 

1. At the end of Lesson 4 (https://f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/fusion-360-for-engineers-part-1/lessons/lesson-4-hide-bodies-and...) the instructor says they will upload a new version of the Fusion Car file with the car bodies collected into well named components. This file cannot be found on the learning site.

 

2. During Lesson 5 (https://f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/fusion-360-for-engineers-part-1/lessons/lesson-5-bearing-insert-...) we need to insert a bearing from McMaster Carr into our design, and are told to use the SAT file available through the Fusion 360 McMaster Carr import tool. When I try to import that bearing file, I get a "translation error" from Fusion 360, which says:

 

Fusion 360 Translation Report
Translation performed for: 5972K272_BALL BEARING.SAT
Results: There are some errors.
Translation Results
+/- Input File Output File Result
[-] 5972K272_BALL BEARING.SAT 5972K272_BALL BEARING.f3d Error
Error: Version of the file format is not supported

 

Could you look into fixing the material for this course?

And there are more problems with the Part 2 of the course. After completing Part 1, it skips directly to Lesson 11 of Part 2. None of the other lessons in Part 2 seems to be accessible, so I'm missing a huge amount of the course material.

 

At least Lesson 11 provides a file up to that point....

For #2, I noticed that too with SAT files, but there's another type "STEP" that he mentions you can use.  I tried that one and it worked fine.  I was able to import the bearing and continue on.  One difference is that his bearing had a split line on the outside, but mine was smooth all the way around- not a big deal but noticeable.

Unexpectedly, the course "Fusion 360 for Engineers" is no more available here as 1 1 hour ago:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/courses/

But even Google gives the proper link:

What is wrong?
