Coming from Fusion
Autodesk Fusion's tool names and the closest SchoolCAD tool for each.
If you have used Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360), most of SchoolCAD will feel familiar: you sketch on a plane, dimension and constrain the sketch, then build features that are kept in a history (the feature tree, like Fusion's timeline). Some tools have different names. This table lists Fusion's names and the SchoolCAD tool for each.
