Tutorials not matching up to Fusion 360 sometimes

For those who are new to CAD/CAM and following the building block tutorials and the rocket tutorials, you will find the tutorial does not always match up to the current Fusion 360 software as far as buttons, icons and selections. The differences are not difficult to an experienced user, we tend to overlook those differences, but for someone that is trying to follow the tutorial step by step, you will find out that selection of contours, type of processes, selection of geometry may not play well with the latest Fusion. Example, the videos will ask you to go to the CAM workspace, it is now named Manufacture. You will see when you select geometry, the newer version sees the geometry as chains, either closed or broken chains. Don’t despair, the changes are an improvement, don’t be afraid to try something a little different and don’t forget to post if you run into a wall you can’t circumvent around. Someone will check out this site and try and get back with you… Don’t be vague with your problems, pictures help, the Fusion file helps even more.
