AUTODESK FUSION 360 EXERCISES: 200 Practice Drawings For FUSION 360 and Other Feature-Based Modeling Software Paperback – Large Print, April 30, 2019

Acquire the basics of Fusion thru the on-line tutorials and other books (I have Autodesk Fusion 360: A Power Giide...[expensive]), then use the 200 exercises book for its repetition. This builds instant recall of commands, and develops different approaches to solve similar problems, depending on the particulars of the situation. I found concealing the end product picture with a post-it forced me to think out the transition from 2D to 3D with the Fusion universe of tools. Each exercise took about 5-15 minutes, and each becomes progressively faster as the tools go to reflex, instead of having the think each step out - the value of repetition in learning.I use Fusion to make working drawings of metal work projects (mill and lathe), 3D printed projects, and general repair and woodworking creations. Because I am not a daily user, it seemed I had to relearn many of the commands each time, and was unaware of the potential value of maximizing the use of timesavers (such as mirroring and circular arrays) at every opportunity. But, this is not an educational book, it is an exercise book, and will only be of value if you appreciate it as such.I now use Fusion to put to paper all but the simplest projects. The 3d representation almost always saves time and wasted resources.

This book has 200 drawings with varying degrees of difficulty. There are still a couple I have trouble with. But, overall, the book has helped me with my basic Fusion skills.

Once you practice these models, you realize the importance of sketching and dimensions when creating models. This book doesn't teach you how to do it, but it's super fun to run through the models and practice creating them in Fusion.Start with some tutorials, run through these and you'll be a pro in no time.

Bought this book for the exercises and from reading the description, talks about the file you can download. One thing they don't mention is you have to pay another $5.99 to buy them. This book by itself is nothing put pictures of sketches with dimensions. I could of drawn these on a piece.

As a CAD enthusiast, the lack of explanation does not bother as long as you have the experience with all the tools. Assume symmetry and tangent relation. If you are new to CAD, this might be a bit problematic. The author sells the corresponding CAD files on his official site which includes minimum explanations only if you know how to view through edited sketch.

Not as challenging as I hoped but still usefull.

I am practicing Fusion 360 and these were just the ticket to sharpen my skills!

I would not recommend this book for a beginner/novice level. If your wanting to keep your skills sharp at an intermediate advance level then I can see how this book can be useful. However, it does not offer step-by-step instructions or have color pages that would help novices. You can learn the basic tools and tips of F360 through other Youtube tutorials, but I feel that then this book becomes secondary and not well worth the time or money.My background is that I'm in between the beginner and intermediate level for using F360. I have utilized F360 for CAM and CNC routing processing for flat pack furniture and CNC joints. I have also designed basic models in F360 for 3D printing both my own self-learning and creating useful 3D prints for my work.
