Can anyone please recommend a good ‘how to’ book for fusion 360? I know there are lots of instructional vids out there, but I would much prefer a manual I could just rifle through if stuck, rather than sitting through a youtube vid.
I can't say I have even found one. But maybe one of the reasons is that Fusion 360 is online, you don't download it as such. This means it is regularly updated (changed). I found a number of decent YouTube instructional videos which I dipped into when I was looking to learn a particular feature. Not much help to you I'm afraid.
Having had a basic course in Autocad several years ago, I found Fusion 360 very similar. The main difference I could see in fusion 360 is you pick a component shape & then alter its size to your requirements, whereas in Autocad you input the precise size as you draw the component.

Very interesting. But I think I am right in saying Fusion 360 has undergone some major changes since 2017 so even the opening format looks totally different.
I bought the Fusion 360 Basic Tutorial from Amazon, and although I’ve only glanced through it, I think it will do as a cheap starter book for me.
I was really needing something that told me what a ‘thing’ was called, what it does, and what it looks like (and it’s cheap). Once I get past the “begger me, I did it, but no idea how” stage, I will probably invest in the fusion 360 black book.
