“We developed the first edition of Autodesk Fusion 360: Introduction to Parametric Modeling to serve as a learning resource to introduce the fundamentals and get users started with Fusion 360, and that guide was met with a very positive response,” says Paul Burden, director of product development, ASCENT. “We’ve now released this second edition to update the existing content for the quickly evolving software and to add new content to address all of the topics associated with the Autodesk Certified User exam for Fusion 360. This title also uses a multi-modal approach to learning by fusing together video demonstrations, practical hands-on exercises, and detailed examples making it attractive to a range of users including independent learners, enterprise users seeking training, and students enrolled at academic institutions.”

New chapters and video demonstrations for the Sculpt, Drawing, and Simulation environments have been added to the second edition. It has a logical topic sequence that now takes the learner through sketching, part modeling, assembly modeling, modeling with T-splines, design documentation in two-dimensional drawings, and static analysis. Those who purchased the first edition of Autodesk Fusion 360: Introduction to Parametric Modeling can see these new updates automatically the next time they access the eBook or online digital content.
