Beginner Autocad tutorials

I just bought a Crossfire and am wanting to get started designing and cutting some parts.
Most of the tutorials ive seen are all using older versions of fusion 360.

Is there a newer tutorial series you guys would recommend? Thank you

This guy is an outstanding teacher. It would help if you started at the beginning of his videos. Just get the basics.
He doesn’t necessarily do plasma but the ins and outs of fusion.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9tn9rGywKUW0K4_KIyCTKOFU8ELXzcnV&si=sE-UttIUh7X5mCnN
NYCNC also has a lot of great videos. He has an online class if you like for $95. I would be shocked if I took his class and couldn’t use fusion. There is hundreds of videos on line for free also.

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with BigDaddy’s recommendation. As far as old interfaces with Fusion 360, generally the terminology remains the same. If you see how something is done on a 5 year old version, it is generally done the same way or perhaps you will see it is even more intuitive with the current version. Just pay attention to the terminology they use.

Lots of folks here to help if you have specific questions. You are likely to get more help if you put your topic in one of the Fusion 360 categories:

But that is not absolutely necessary, either. Some members have categories set to alert them via email if a new topic is created in a particular category. That is why it would help you get the help you needed, perhaps more quickly.

Final comment on Fusion 360: Nearly every video mentions to make sure your design is “fully constrained.” Don’t follow my example but I am not very good at “fully constraining” my designs and they do what I need them to do. The value of “fully constraining” is that any editing of your design later, will behave predictably.

Oh nooo! Enhancement, upgrade, advancement, breakthrough, development… :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :innocent:

…I guess you are right: probably mistake, oversight, fault, flub, misstep, error! :rofl:

Sorry, I got a hold of Tom’s Thesaurus.
