Fusion Essentials

This course is for users who wish to learn Fusion from the base level with no experience of using the CAD tools. This course can also be used as a transitioning course for users who have come over from another CAD application and look to upskill in Fusion. The vocabulary used on this course will aid attendees to understand elements such as part creation with primary and secondary features, assembly build using jointed connections and drawings to interpret engineering intent.
