Your Autodesk account and Fusion

To start using Fusion, an administrator needs to invite you to a hub, a collaborative space where you and your teammates work on designs. You'll receive this invitation by email.

  1. Click the link in the invitation email.

    If you know you were invited to a hub, but don't see an invitation in your inbox, do the following:

    1. Check if the invitation is in your Spam or Junk email folder.
    2. Make sure your administrator used the right email address.
    3. If those steps do not help, open the Fusion web client and follow the instructions in Switch between hubs to open any hubs you have been invited to.
  2. After clicking the email link, a page opens in your browser and one of two things happens:

    • If you are new to Autodesk, you are asked to create an Autodesk account and sign in.
    • If you already have an Autodesk account, you are asked to sign in, if you haven’t already done so.

Once signed in, the hub you were invited to opens in your default browser.

This browser interface is known as the Fusion web client, which you use to manage data and projects.

Tip: Download Fusion software from the link in the notification banner.

You'll also receive another email confirming that you have joined the hub. There might be a short transition time where Fusion indicates that you are in a trial period. This will stop when your administrator assigns you a license, at which point you will receive an email notifying you of this.

If you seem to be missing expected email messages, check to see if they are in your Junk email folder. If they are not, contact your administrator

Once you have an Autodesk account, you can start using Autodesk single-on (SSO). SSO is an authentication method that enables you to sign into multiple Autodesk products and services using your credentials. See the Autodesk Single Sign-on Setup Guide.
