The new Arrange feature can be used to nest parts in Fusion 360. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to auto-arrange parts on sheet goods, such as plywood.
Arrange serves as an efficient and easy workflow for CNC, Laser Cutters, and other machines that require flat layouts.
This concept is often referred to as "Nesting" or Nest. Speaking of Nest, there's a big announcement in the middle of the video ;)

![How to Sketch Rectangles in Fusion 360 (all 3 explained)
Fusion 360 has 3 different rectangle commands. The rectangle tool is a commonly used sketch tool in any CAD program.
Similar to the line command, the rectangle tool can be accessed from multiple places. First, it can be activated from the sketch drop-down list. It’s here that you’ll see the rectangle flyout menu has 3 different types. There are 2 point rectangles, 3-point rectangles, and center rectangles.
You’ll notice the 2-point rectangle can also be activated with the keyboard shortcut letter “R.”

![How to Mirror Sketch Geometry in Fusion 360
How to Use the Sketch Mirror Command in Fusion 360. The sketch mirror command can be activated from the sketch dropdown list or from the right-click sketch menu.
The sketch mirror command lets you mirror or reproduce the selected sketch geometry on the other side of the selected mirror line. It’s important to note that the sketch mirror command does differ from the mirror command located in the create dropdown list. The sketch mirror command only works for 2-dimensional sketches, whereas, the create mirror command works with faces, features, bodies, and components.
