FUSION 360: Beginners & Intermediate Users’ Guide

The problem with trying to learn Fusion 360 is that so many of the books available are out-of-date almost from the day they are published because Fusion 360 is constantly changing. This is not a problem of the text authors but of the Fusion 360 program itself as there is no version control meaning you can not download a specific version to match the version used in the text."Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners! - 2023 EDITION" is ideal for use with the outstanding YouTube series "Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners! - 2023 EDITION" by Kevin Kennedy. This text is very easy to follow, goes into excellent detail and is easy to perform the exercises as you read through each chapter. The author has an excellent knowledge of the product and his experience in using Fusion 360 shines. Until I found this text, I was getting extremely frustrated in trying to learn Fusion 360. This text, coupled with Kevin's YouTube series, has made it quite easy to learn the F360 system, and the text serves as an outstanding reference source. Highly recommended!

This is a huge tome, which the author most likely put significant time in creating. But, I was unexpectedly disappointed trying to use this book. Index is very our of sync. Many illustrations are out of focus. There is far too much narrative, where showing how to use program capabilities by applying them to model building would have been much more helpful.

I've been learning a lot about 3d design in the last 12 months and this is a good reference book that helps me learn more about Fusion360. Happy reader.

The author of this book obviously knows how to use the program, but doesn't know how to teach someone else how to use it.The index doesn't match the text, the index will tell you that something is on page xxx, and there is nothing on that page that has anything to do with what you are looking up.

I use F360 infrequently and sometimes forget a command step, so when that happens I need a quick way to refresh my memory. That's why I bought this book. Unfortunately, the index points the reader to the wrong page(s). For example - and this is just one - the index for "Move/Copy" points to pages 51 and 104, but neither of those pages contain any context about the Move/Copy command. I tried looking up several more and found the same problem. On another note I searched the entire book looking for the Move/Copy command and could not find any context describing it. That's weird because it is one of the most often used commands. It's really a shame because there is plenty of good content in the book. Unfortunately, the book appears to have been rushed out the door.

This is "Fusion 360". I had never heard of Fusion 360 before until this book. It was a comprehensive guide and perfect for beginners to intermediate users. All the illustrations and instructions within are clear. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am in the early learning phase and this book is excellent in leading and teaching me. Not like most program manuals that can put you to sleep sitting on the bookshelf , this text is a welcome partner in my learning FUSION 360.

Great for quick reference to commands
