This is to ensure no parts of our drawing 'merge' together later. The outside width of our LED flex channel is going to be 7mm in width so we need to ensure that there is at least about 8mm between our lines. I can then go back and grab the handles of these nodes to adjust the direction and influence of each point along the curve. I can continue the same line and make points where the curve change direction of severity. I can make use of the Line tool perfectly for the beginning of this shape.Īt this point I’ll switch to the more curvy but not so catchy ‘Fit Point Spline’ tool. For a simple curve - click and hold the mouse button at the beginning of the curve and move your mouse to the end before releasing. Clicking, releasing the mouse, and then clicking the next point will make a straight line between those two clicks. Using the line tool we can click at the start point. We’ll trace the centre line of the LED flex and then have Fusion create the thickness in the next step. Let’s start drawing the shape, choose the rear face of the foot again and then start a New Sketch from the menu at the top. We can then right click on the canvas item again, select 'Edit Canvas' and this time reposition it to better align with the foot. Click on the centre of each of the two dots and then enter the actual distance between them, for me it's 100mm.Right click on canvas image in the left side bar (inside the 'Canvas' folder) and select Calibrate.We can now set a more accurate size for our canvas.

Close the 'Edit Canvas' window pane by pressing 'OK'.We need to flip the image horizontally - to do this use the toggle in the menu pane on the right.Roughly resize for the time being so it's big enough to see and work with.
