Fusion Circular Pattern Workflow: Pattern Fillets and Chamfers the Smart Way

Learn how to use the Circular Pattern tool in Autodesk Fusion to quickly repeat cuts and features around an axis. In this tutorial, you’ll sketch a simple shape, extrude a cut through the body, then use Create Pattern - Circular Pattern to pattern the feature evenly around your model. You’ll also see why patterning features (instead of bodies) is often the best workflow, and how editing your timeline first (adding fillets and chamfers before the pattern) can save a ton of clicks while keeping everything parametric. Finally, we’ll edit the circular pattern to include additional features and show how a single change updates the entire pattern automatically.
