Autodesk Fusion 360 (Essentials For Existing 3D CAD Users Training)

Designed for users that are experienced in 3D CAD software, particularly mechanical or surfacing. This course will teach users the fundamentals of Fusion 360 user interface, design concepts and drawing, so you can quickly get started.
