Oct 10th: Class covering some of the nuances of sketches and constraints: prep to make useful parametric 3d mechanical models.
Self watch about 20 minutes or 1/3rd of the "Solid Modelling Basics" course (the first 5 videos fit well together) https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/courses/AP-C-DESIGN-SOLID-BASICS
