This is a practice exercise video solution.
00:06
In Fusion 360, we want to start a new untitled metric document and make sure that we have the Model Edit Drawing.pdf open.
00:15
We'll begin by going to modify and change parameters.
00:18
We want to create user parameters for length,
00:22
setting this equal to 75 mm.
00:26
We'll create another user parameter for width, setting this one equal to 50 mm.
00:31
And finally a third user parameter for thickness.
00:36
Setting this one equal to 10 mm.
00:39
We're going to use these parameters to drive a sketch and a solid feature.
00:44
So we'll start a new sketch selecting the top plane and using our rectangle,
00:48
selecting the center rectangle option.
00:51
Go from the origin and begin to drag this out.
00:54
We'll begin to type in the L for length and select the user parameter for length.
00:60
Next we'll hit tab and for the next value we'll begin to type in w for width.
01:05
And then we'll select enter.
01:07
We'll finish the sketch and extrude this out a distance of thickness.
01:14
We can select okay and make sure that we save the design.
01:18
You can carry on creating the rest of the elements in the detailed drawing for this design by creating the corner fillets,
01:24
creating the holes as well as creating all of the different hole patterns
01:29
From here make sure you save this as practice exercise.
