In this lesson, we customize your Autodesk Fusion experience. 1
Some of you will just go with the presets 2
and some of you will change settings. 3
Let me empower you. 4
Maybe you want to customize Fusion based on your personal 5
needs, your company standard, or your industry needs. 6
Customization can be a great way to increase efficiency. 7
It's a two edged sword though, so don't overdo it. 8
You can easily add your favorite commandos to the toolbar. 9
Just hover over the commando, click on the three dots 10
and check pin to toolbar. 11
Uncheck the box 12
to remove an item from the toolbar. 13
Press 14
keyboard shortcut S to reach Design Shortcuts. 15
You will reach Sketch Shortcuts and get access to sketch tools, 16
not Design Shortcuts and design tools, if you're in the contextual 17
sketch environment when you press Keyboard Shortcut S. 18
Search for commandos in the search window. 19
You'll also see some easily 20
accessible commandos above the search bar in the toolbox. 21
I'll show you two workflows that will add a command to the toolbox. 22
One way is to search for the commando 23
and press the add the to shortcuts arrow. 24
Another way is to find your commando 25
from the toolbar and check pin to shortcuts 26
to remove the command. 27
Search for it and press the remove button. 28
It's easy 29
for you to change keyboard shortcuts in Autodesk Fusion. 30
This is a great way to improve efficiency. 31
Find your item from the toolbar and select Change Keyboard Shortcut. 32
There are five scenarios you should know about here. 33
First, if you select a free shortcut key, then you can go on 34
and just press OK to assign the shortcut. 35
You can also combine shortcut keys. 36
For example, hold shift and I to assign a shortcut 37
like this one. 38
Secondly, 39
if you select a taken shortcut key, you will have a conflict. 40
You'll be notified that the shortcut key will be removed from another commando 41
if you choose to continue. 42
Thirdly, some shortcut keys are reserved. 43
There is a link to reserved shortcut keys in the course resources. 44
The reserved shortcut key cannot be changed. 45
Number four just leave the window 46
blank to remove a shortcut key. 47
And finally, the fifth and final thing, if you want to reassign 48
your shortcut key to default, just press the return 49
to the default option. 50
Your saved shortcuts, which you reach with keyboard 51
shortcut S, are also found via The right click menu, also called the marking menu. 52
You also find other options such as Repeat Commando, 53
which will show the latest commando you used and other popular commandos. 54
You can also enter the contextual sketch environment 55
and continue with your sketch from here. 56
The right click menu is a great option 57
that will allow you to work fast without moving your mouse around too much. 58
Hold shift 59
and your middle mouse button to orbit around your design. 60
This is a useful way to inspect your work from different angles. 61
A small green dot appears when you orbit. 62
This is your orbit center. 63
Right click the canvas and select Set Orbit Center when you need a custom setup. 64
Likewise, right click and select Reset Orbit Center. 65
If you change your mind and want to reset your settings to default. 66
You can change many settings within your design. 67
For example, you'll find active units under Document Settings or via 68
Design Shortcuts. 69
You can also adjust your preferences 70
from the application menu in the top right corner. 71
Here you will find program specific shortcut presets which are valuable 72
if you come from another program, such as Inventor or SolidWorks. 73
Other common 74
adjustments are orbit settings, default unit settings for new designs, 75
and automatic recovery backup intervals.
