How to Reset Layout to the Fusion 360 Default
Fusion 360 allows users to rearrange the layout of user interface sections. Adding or removing features to toolbars and menu dropdowns can also be done.
Resetting the Fusion 360 layout will change the user interface to the same view of when you first installed and opened Fusion 360. [Read more...] about How to Reset Layout to the Fusion 360 Default
Why Doesn’t Fusion 360 Look Directly at the Sketch?

Changing the Opacity of Bodies and Components in Fusion 360
Fusion 360 is a top-down modeling program, which means parts can be designed and built within the same file.
Assemblies can contain up to 1000 bodies and components. Ultimately, the number allowed depends on how complex each one is.
So what happens when you want to focus on a specific area of a model? [Read more...] about Changing the Opacity of Bodies and Components in Fusion 360

How to Use Custom Fonts in Fusion 360
If you want to extrude the font, Fusion 360 currently only supports the use of TTF fonts. If you just want to add a custom font to Sketches then you can also use OTF fonts.
TTF, which stands for TrueType Fonts, is an outline font standard developed by Apple in the late 1980s. Today, it is the most widely supported font format for both macOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems. [Read more...] about How to Use Custom Fonts in Fusion 360
Using SVG Files with Fusion 360
Fusion 360 accepts SVG files, but they should still be used on a limited basis. When possible, use Fusion 360's native sketch geometry to create the desired shape.
Fusion 360's 2D-sketch will result in a faster and more predictable model. Importing SVG files will automatically re-recreate the SVG lines with Fusion 360 geometry. This often results in hundreds of spline paths. [Read more...] about Using SVG Files with Fusion 360
How to Save a Design File in Fusion 360
Fusion 360’s file structure and management are different than comparable CAD programs. Fusion 360 is 100% cloud-based, which means all of your design files live on the Autodesk servers. Design files will not be saved to your local machine unless you choose to "export" your design. [Read more...] about How to Save a Design File in Fusion 360
