Fusion 360 Basics

Fusion 360 UI

Navigation

Pan - To pan around press and hold the middle mouse button or you can use the pan tool in the navigation bar at the bottom if you are on a mac and have a trackpad you can use two fingers to pan around.

Zoom - To zoom you can use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out, you can also use the zoom in and out buttons in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen and if you are on a mac with a trackpad you can zoom just how you usually would on a trackpad.

Orbit - To orbit you press shift while pressing the middle mouse button, you can also use orbit via the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, and on a mac, with a trackpad, you can hold shift while using the same action you would to pan in fusion (two fingers) to orbit. There are also two types of orbits: constrained where you only rotate around one axis and free where you rotate around all 3 axes.
