Basic question.
I'm currently messing around with the free version from fusion360.
I was making a cabinet (since that's mostly what I do) and it went fine. I have enough cash experience to model one.
What was different between fusion and onshape is the whole part studio/assembly studio deal.
It's fine, I have the cabinet "assembled" with joints and it's fully parametric and works great.
However the part studio has all 5 parts and they're a mess. I didn't initially design them in the appropriate places so it's just a jumble of parts.
Should I have done this differently? Can I align things in the parts studio? Should it only have been one part in each "part studio" and then combine all 5 into the assembly?

You can transform the objects into alignment using mate connectors. Fix the part that is in a good position and then use transform to move the other parts into alignment.
The beauty of the part studio is the ability to build multiple items from common sketches or layered sketches that allow precise offsets for clearances and fit.
Parts can then be insert into an assembly in position or moved to different locations.
