*If you are currently enrolled in the course need help with Fusion 360, you have the following options:
- Make a Discussion Board post. Among hundreds of peers, you will likely encounter someone who has the same issue and, if lucky, then someone who has also resolved it. Making a post also helps the Course Team know if this is a back-end issue or something that can be resolved through coaching.
- Utilize the Office Hours sessions. Even if Office Hours for Fusion360 haven't happened yet, there are archived sessions in the Dropbox folder.
- Evaluate Autodesk's educational resources. Autodesk has extensive documentation on any possible operation you may wish to perform in Fusion 360. Their resources can be accessed inside of the software, as well as a live chat feature for dynamic support requests.
