That is some really good advice!

I have been struggling with Fusion (although I do think I am starting to get to grips with it now) and trying to design my machine with it. I have persevered but with hindsight I would probably have a fully operational machine now if I had just drawn it out by hand (and cut down on the procrastination!). Instead I still have a pile of components and 14 iterations of my machine's design!
