Everything must have a dimension to lock it in place- blue lines indicate something that hasn’t been dimensioned
Coincident – Where two points join together
Concentric – Have the centre in the same location, share the same centre point.
Co-linear – Same angle of a line for example
Co-radial – same radius for the same point
Equal – Identical sizes, when linked they will change so very useful for changing lots of holes on board for example
Parameter – For circles: Diameter or Radius, position of centre on a face
Parameters in Fusion 360
Parameters are used to define a sketch and easily edit it later on. It is basically using a smart dimension but that can be used over and over again.
Parameter is located under modify
