Learning Fusion 360

[loadedphp]

As I am in this stay at home situation, I plan to learn Fusion 360 (in June) in more depth using all the online courses, Lectures and tutorials available via Autodesk.These will include:

-Getting started in Fusion 360
-Mechanical assemblies fundamentals
-Working with imported geometry
-Understanding generative design
-Introduction to generative design-Conceptual modeling fundamentals
-Fusion 360 Academy Portland 2019 Industrial Design (to re-check what has been learned)

If anyone is interested in doing the same sort of online courses with me for Fusion 360 (the link is below) do post here as it would be great as it is good to have others learning the same content.Also post in here each Friday (first being 5 June) your progress (e.g. what courses you have done so far).

The forum post is also a good place to share any aspects or questions anyone has or problems you have experienced during this learning.

I have fusion 360 up and running for free, and worked through the getting started videos as well as trying different design. Would like to find a course book of Fusion 360 so to do some step by step Projects. Any suggestions?

I had Fusion 360 for a while. I thought I had downloaded the free version - but after 6 months I think it was I lost my license. I could still use the software to create, but I couldn't do anything with it - not save or 3d print. Apparently I only had a free trial.Any ideas what I did wrong. I liked the software. Or any suggestions for free software that is better?I'm pretty proficient with 3d modeling - I use Creo (ProE) at work, but I need something for my personal computer.

I installed my Fusion 360 free for Personal, Hobby Use using the link attached.
Though have only created less than a dozen models over the last 4 years it still work every time I design another model.

Thanks, I downloaded again using your link. Hopefully I did it right this time. I was able to access all my old models that I created with the first version - bonus.
