When trying to fully define a sketch you can use dimensions or what Fusion 360?

When you are applying your constraints and dimensions, your final goal is to fully define the sketch. This means that the sketch is completely fixed. Fusion 360 indicates this by turning sketch geometry from blue to black.

Why are my lines Blue in Fusion 360?

Blue lines mean that the sketch object is not fully constrained and dimensioned also sometimes referred to as not 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.

What is a joint limit in Fusion 360?

Joint Limits are values that define the range of motion allowed for components that move or rotate in an assembly in Fusion 360. You can use joint limits to evaluate a design by limiting motion to known maximum, minimum, and resting values.

What is the Snap option in the sketch palette used for?

Slice will lop off the top of the body so you can see your sketch. “3D Sketch” will allow you to create sketch lines and splines that have points off the sketch plane, by snapping to body vertexes, work points, etc. yes, grid snapping is lower priority than alignment.

When using the marking menu in a sketch what position is the sketch sub menu located?

At the top is a radial menu called a marking menu.

• We will focus on the marking menu and ways to use it to speed up access to common commands.
• After right mouse clicking you can move your cursor and a wedge will highlight different parts.

What makes a construction plane useful in the creation of a sketch?

Utilize construction planes to help you build your Fusion 360 designs in all three dimensions. The tool allows one to make two-dimensional CAD drawings and extend them into the third dimension by adding what Autodesk calls “features” to your drawings.

What is the first step to starting a sketch Fusion 360?

Getting Started with Fusion 360: Start with an empty design

1. A new empty design is created and opened.
2. Specify -10 mm for the height in the dialog or by dragging the manipulator arrow.
3. The body should look similar to this, depending on the values you used.
4. Use sketches to create bodies.
5. Select the same XZ plane you used for the box earlier.

What options are available when using extend surface?

Use the following options to set what happens when you select Surfaces > Extend. Tangent adds new isoparms to the extended surface. Extrapolate rebuilds the surface according to the direction and distance specified, but without adding new isoparms. Sets the length of extension.

How do I change the size of the rectangle in Fusion 360?

Edit your sketch, then click the Sketch drop down menu and click Sketch Dimension, then click on the dimension line you want to edit, move the mouse to show the dimension and click again to fix it to the sketch. You can now change the dimension to what you want.
