      <description>&lt;P class=""&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;I’m new here and would like to ask for advice on how to properly set up components from a project for CNC milling.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;I have created components for different types of aluminum profiles that are ready for milling (the CNC machine is set to cut, drill holes, etc.).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;In my projects, I usually disconnect these components and modify their parameters (most often adjusting the length of the profiles). The designs typically involve constructing a framework from profiles arranged in various orientations (vertically, horizontally, or rotated in different directions).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;To simplify the milling process, I’ve developed a setup for clamps to hold the profiles on the CNC table. These clamps allow profiles to be securely fixed during the milling process. Additionally, I’ve created a “Sketch” to represent the layout of the profiles, where I use the “Arrange” function to organize them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;The clamps can hold up to 30 profiles, each 3 meters long, which greatly improves efficiency.&lt;BR /&gt;File:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://a360.co/41ATmGN" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://a360.co/41ATmGN&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.53.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1445972iCFEA258D649F8786/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.53.png" alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.53.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Project:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://a360.co/49E1mJe" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://a360.co/49E1mJe&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.18.png" style="width: 714px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1445974i9FCB36EB2EB3922C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.18.png" alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.17.18.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;While this setup works quite well, I’ve encountered some challenges:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;1. When manually selecting each profile type, they sometimes flip or rotate unexpectedly, and I can’t figure out how to fix this. Adjusting one profile often causes others to rotate as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;Problem:&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.20.56.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1445975i2FB97C3E79C3B62B/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.20.56.png" alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.20.56.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;2. I’m looking for an easy way to rotate the profiles by 90 degrees to allow milling from different sides.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.21.58.png" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1445976iDCF2C0BC384C7AFE/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.21.58.png" alt="Zrzut ekranu 2024-12-14 o 20.21.58.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;3. Is there a way to create a sketch or another solution where Fusion 360 automatically knows how to arrange the profiles and rotate them correctly to streamline the entire process as much as possible?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=""&gt;Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@E6EC9DD4C587218F447ED726FC2232F9/emoticons/1f60a.png" alt=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:" title=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I would program all of this with a single body/pair selected and Linear pattern your toolpaths. It's going to become hectic to keep track of 4 setups with 30 components inside of it changing orientation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
