Tip 6: Converting sketch into construction geometry If however, you want to add constraint between points of tangency then select the D command (for dimension constraint) then right-click and select “Pick Circle/Arc Tangent” from the context options.Īpply the constraints again with this option and this time it will be added between tangent points and not the centre. When you add distance constraint between two circles it adds constraint between the centre of the circles. Tip 5: Adding dimension from centre vs tangent

To convert a text into a geometry object you need to explode it which can be done by selecting the text and selecting the explode text option from the right context menu.įor extruding the text “explode text” is not needed and a text can be extruded even without exploding it. If you want to temporarily disable the snapping to the nearest points, then press and hold the ctrl key and it will stop snapping to any point if ctrl is pressed. When making drawing in the sketch environment Fusion automatically snaps to nearby reference points. Take the reference of the attached animated gif image for more. Let go of your mouse and click again to make a line. When making a line using the line command go to the endpoint of the line again when the command is active and hold down the left mouse button and move it outwards, it will now create an arc if the mouse click is pressed. To repeat the last used command in Fusion 360 simply right-click hold your cursor and drag your mouse up as shown in the GIF image below.
