    <description>&lt;P&gt;Have you tried using templates? Right click on a toolpath that works well for your part and near the bottom there is an option called " save as template".&amp;nbsp; Save the template to a folder with a name for your family of parts, or whatever makes sense to you.&amp;nbsp; Then on new part, set up your part, then right click on your setup, and go near the top and use "create from template" . So basically it is using your proven toolpaths and you are just applying them to your new geometry. I am not aware of anything that is more "automatic".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;LeoC&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;after lots of time using the Fusion 360 for my hobby 3D Printing and Creating I also joined the milling part as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;First of all I need to say that I do really enjoy this product becuase its just so intuitive, online and there is a huge community behind. This helped me a lot in the past just by reading this threats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As my person, I am a professional cad cam programmer/machinist with experience in differend kind of machining such as turning, milling, 3D Printing and laser melting. My work is in the dental Industry where I can use all of this technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For now I am looking for my new project to get some cnc programms for a lot of pretty much the same parts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I choose already a PP and made some modifications for my machine where I get a usable Gcode.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Whats comes as next is always the same procedure, Outside rough, drilling, inside rough, outside finish, inside finish (For an example).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The difference in the parts is just the diameters and the length or mybe the cone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to get this done automaticly by using parameters or so?!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I do have all the Step files I created, but if I go to the manufacting section in my part I can copy my setup into it, but I need to change all the diameters and length by hand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope you can get the point of it. Otherwise I gonna try again &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@D5D66E11BC96A1C8427F98151D3E9A7A/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have a great day everyone and greetings from germany!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Templates are good, and just in case you did not know, you can select all of your toolpaths in 1 shot and save them all under a single template.&amp;nbsp; So when importing, you have them all at the same time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If your parts are very similar, same features but different sizes, you can also copy the part.&amp;nbsp; If you copy the part, modify it, and regenerate your toolpaths, they will conform to the new geometry, as long as you simply modified the sizes.&amp;nbsp; That would be even more automatic because you don't have to reselect anything in the toolpath, simply regen.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You mentioned you use step files, so if you import every time, this won't work, but instead of importing every time, can you not modify the file yourself?&amp;nbsp; You can use direct modeling to modify an imported model as well.&amp;nbsp; So after the 1st part is programmed, copy it, modify the sizes, and regen toolpath, done.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;Hi Darthbane,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;yes this is what I did know. Mark every Toolpath and made them to one template.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;When I finish one part I make a copy of it and keep going with the next one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;The only thing is that when I make any changes in the future I need to find a way to get them into my old programs as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;But it seems like there is no other way than to go into the project and update the Toolpaths with the newer template.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;Its just that I come from another cam called worknc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;There you have a little tool where you can create a geometry. This you can split into "Inside" and "outside".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;For every "step" you can give a number. (Like straight cylinder(1) then comes a cone (2) then a radius (3) and so on.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;After you made this you can easily use your template and you get a nc code as output. This uses the numbers to get the dimensions for diameter and lenght.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The advantage of this is you can easy modify the geometry and after you can make an nc output and update all the files you have&amp;nbsp; by one step.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;I hope this brings no confusion &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@D5D66E11BC96A1C8427F98151D3E9A7A/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Oh I see, I think I somewhat understand (I've never seen worknc), but it seems like you can build your geometry kind of like we build a holder in Fusion isn't it.&amp;nbsp; So you'd work always in your master file, just update these numbers and you get your new updated toolpath.&amp;nbsp; That's the way I understand.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe you can do the same, using parameters.&amp;nbsp; I am not sure, but say you put all your values in parameters in Fusion, and simply update those values, then regen, I guess it would be a similar result to what you are used to?&amp;nbsp; You can name your parameters too, so it's easy to find what is what.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just an idea, not sure it works for you...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Use as many 3d model aware toolpaths as you can. With flat, adaptive and 3d contour you should be able to make your program CAD agnostic.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
