    <description>&lt;P&gt;Just set the compensation type to off in the passes tab the tool will follow the contour on center&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>How to add some overlap at beginning/end of a trace toolpath</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a CNC router setup with a welding head so I can weld sheets of plastic together. I typically use closed loop, trace toolpaths, but I sometimes find it leaves a small gap at the beginning/end where end meets back up with the beginning of the toolpath (imagine a circular trace).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ideally I'd like to add 1/4" of overlap but can't find a consistent way to do it using the free version of Fusion. Using the circle example, I'll add a 1/4" long arc with the same diameter as the circle, select "Keep Tool Down", and select both paths but Fusion will almost always find an order of operations that doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hopefully that makes some sense, any pointers?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4208101"&gt;@ldavis89&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can do this in 2d Contour in the Passes page.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2022-01-21_17-11-06.jpg" style="width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1014669i8DB1F0E322429F54/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="2022-01-21_17-11-06.jpg" alt="2022-01-21_17-11-06.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We use this option on the mill side to avoid witness marks where the tool starts and stops in a closed contour.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this works for you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Nice, looks like that works! Now I just need to figure the easiest way to get the tool to follow the sketch instead of offset . . but that should be easy enough. Thanks again!</description>
