Beginner in Fusion 360

First off I would like to say thanks to everyone that has put in all the effort and hard work to make all this available to the public.
I am a complete beginner in CAD and Fusion 360. I’m having a hard time with the training videos because it seems to skip some of the beginner training essentials like how to draw a 2D square or circle etc.
The Fusion 360 sites training goes extensively into saving files and is confusing to me.
I had brain surgery about 6 years ago and I am still going through physical therapy. I have some short term memory issues so I’m wondering if it is due to that? Has anyone else had this issue?
I’m at the point that I’m about to give up completely on the idea of learning CAD due to this.
Any suggestions would help.

Thanks,
Jon

@JonIvan1 I feel your pain. I have a hard time remembering how to do things in Fusion but I am getting better with practice. I get a little upset with myself from time to time not knowing how to do something but I reach out to the community and I get help.
As to your particular condition I would say give it some time doing the same part over and over like the Titan 1M until you can do it without the video easily. Then move on to the next and hopefully you will improve.

As Rumpelstiltskin mentioned, start with the Titan 1M Draw in CAD video… Don’t skip videos, If you are just wanting to learn CAD for now, watch each of the Building Block series and just design the parts. Skip the CAM for now, come back to it later if you want to learn CNC. https://academy.titansofcnc.com/series/titan-1m/how-to-draw-the-titan-1m-2

The Titan group keeps improving their website. there is a page that just has the CAD models, I would try this page first. https://academy.titansofcnc.com/category/learn-to-design-in-cad

Thanks! Ill try that.
I was doing the videos under Fusion 360 fundamentals. It seems to skip the basic drawing process…

Start from here. They have given short videos on important basics for CAD. It makes Building blocks easy to understand.

I tried that. Its too confusing to me. Maybe I’ll be able to understand some of it after the Titans tutorials. They touch on saving a d downloading and saving files but only a little at a time. I think that’s why I like it more at this time. Thanks for the input…
