Question: How do you lock a component in Fusion 360?

What is the difference between a body and a component in Fusion 360?

Components have their own origin planes, whereas bodies do not. We established earlier that components are parts in Fusion 360 that can have motion relationships with one and another. This is made possible due to them having their own origin planes.

How do you activate all components in Fusion 360?

Learn how to activate a component in an assembly in a Fusion 360 design.

1. In the Browser, locate the component you want to activate.
2. Click the Activate Component radio button.

Why would you want to ground a component before applying joints?

Unlike locking, which allows the part to change location when partner components move, “grounding” (available in the Browser Context menu) fixes a component’s position in the workspace. It’s an Inventor best practice to ground at least one component to provide an anchor for all other components.

Can you group in Fusion 360?

Highlight all of the components in the browser tree that need to be condensed/combined. Drag the highlighted components on top of the new component that was just created.
