Bodies and Components, one of the hardest things to grasp for new users to Fusion 360. Most parametric CAD programs have a part file and an assembly file. The assembly file is just a container that deals with part relationships. Fusion 360 however lets us do all this in a single design, but we have the distinction of bodies and components.

In this video we are going to talk about bodies and components and offer up some general rules around the benefits of components and what downstream workflows are affected by the choices we make in our designs.
