key terms

design intent: a strategy for how entities relate to each other. sketch constraints differ per each individual design file.

best practices

keep sketches simple. remember that a sketch's history is not captured. the more you use modeling tools, the easier it will be to change or edit features. complex sketches are often the root cause of latency in fusion 360.

avoid sketch fillets. sketch fillets remove constraints and cause problems when re-editing the sketch.

avoid mirroring sketches and sketch patterns to keep sketches simple. 3d mirror and patterns perform better.
