Hi Everyone,

 

I am new to fusion and cannot figure thus out. I want to center object in an arch. Can anyone help me with an easy way to do this. I have attached a pic of my current sketch and what I want it to look like.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever you post a forum question directly related to a model, always Attach the model.  You will get quicker and more relevant responses.  If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

This is not done on your model but it is what you desired.   There are some other ways to do this.  Model is attached.

By the way, the sketch is parametric.  Change the angle locating the rectangle in the arc and it adjusts perfectly aligned to the sketch origin.  If you need a better description, give the word and I will do a short Screencast.

Hi John,

 

Thank you for the info, I will do that in the future. I am a newbie in all cad software, so if you could explain this please I would greatly appreciate it.

One thing I pointed out in the Screencast, make sure you fully dimension and constrain your sketches.  You will become a lot more efficient and accurate in Fusion 360 if you start this practice from the beginning.  I had a bit of trouble during the Screencast picking some points, I apologize.  This is one of the issues you have to deal with when creating a Screencast.
