FUSION 360 FAQ

Can I type in a command instead of going to click on its button at the top?

Yes. You can simply press S which is short for Search and then start typing your command. This can be more effective than using the menu system at times.

Example:

Hit the S key and immediately type Box. Hit enter and this will start the Box drawing command.

Could I get a list of commands that are useful in sketches so that I could impress my friends with my knowledge?

Sure.

Line

Circle

Rectangle

Trim

Extend

Offset

Circular pattern

Rectangular pattern

How can I see all of my past files (or any files that I have uploaded)?

You should use:

File > View > Show Data Panel

My sketch disappeared after I used it. But how do I get it back?

As soon as you create a sketch and you hit Stop Sketch, the sketch is set to visible. However, as soon as you do an operation (such as Extrude) with that sketch, Fusion assumes you are done with it and sets it to invisible.

To make a sketch visible (or to make it invisible), we can simply use the Browser panel on the left. See image below.

Under sketches, you can see a full listing of the sketches you have done. Beside each sketch, there is a lightbulb. The yellow lightbulbs specify that the sketch is visible and the white ones specify that the sketch is invisible.

Set them as you need.
