This is a practice exercise video solution.

In Fusion 360, we want to start a new untitled metric document and make sure that we have the Model Edit Drawing.pdf open.

00:15

We'll begin by going to modify and change parameters.

00:18

We want to create user parameters for length,

00:22

setting this equal to 75 mm.

00:26

We'll create another user parameter for width, setting this one equal to 50 mm.

00:31

And finally a third user parameter for thickness.

00:36

Setting this one equal to 10 mm.

00:39

We're going to use these parameters to drive a sketch and a solid feature.

00:44

So we'll start a new sketch selecting the top plane and using our rectangle,

00:48

selecting the center rectangle option.

00:51

Go from the origin and begin to drag this out.

00:54

We'll begin to type in the L for length and select the user parameter for length.

00:60

Next we'll hit tab and for the next value we'll begin to type in w for width.

01:05

And then we'll select enter.

01:07

We'll finish the sketch and extrude this out a distance of thickness.

01:14

We can select okay and make sure that we save the design.

01:18

You can carry on creating the rest of the elements in the detailed drawing for this design by creating the corner fillets,

01:24

creating the holes as well as creating all of the different hole patterns

01:29

From here make sure you save this as practice exercise.
