    <description>&lt;P&gt;I was wondering if F360 CAM could do that. That is a very useful technique. In fact, in an upcoming mold making project this technique will be very helpful going forward.&lt;BR /&gt;I will need to modify the existing mold in the future, possibly fill and remove material to reuse the mold. I was wondering how to do this. This approach will work really well. Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi guys -&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I use Fusion 360 CAD/CAM with a 2005 Fadal VMC. So here's the deal. Since I got the machine, I've machined parts in a vice. To set X/Y on my machine I use a Haimer 3D Sensor to set X0 and Y0, and for Z I touch my tools off on top of my stock using a piece of paper. Old school I know, but this mill doesn't have the 20k gauge the 2013 Haas I had at uni did. Anyway, I've set my WCS XYZ0 to the corner of my stock and the *top* of my stock and I've been set.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, I just machined a fixture plate. Great, now I can do part flips. The only problem is setting the WCS. I need my X0 and Y0 to be set to the notch I machined on my fixture plate. But Z0 still needs to be the top of my stock, I think. I'm having trouble doing this in Fusion. I select the top of my stock as my Z0 and then Y and X, but I get the WCS at the point of the notch on my fixture plate. What I think I need is my WCS floating in the air above where it is pictured, at Z0, but X an Y0 are at the notch in my fixture plate.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Does this make sense, and how can I get fusion to do this?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Alternatively, could I just touch my tools off on the top of my fixture plate instead of the top of my stock?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&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="Screen Shot 2017-05-10 at 7.37.38 PM.png" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/354855i7E7B32FC03AEE28E/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2017-05-10 at 7.37.38 PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2017-05-10 at 7.37.38 PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;To have the XY corner as your fixture plate and the Z zero as the top, here's what you need to do:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Create a sketch on the top of your part&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Draw a point at the corner of the fixture plate, but at the height of your part&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Select that point in your "Setup".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And yes, you certainly can set the Z zero as top of your Fixture plate, but seriously; do yourself a favor: Choose a spot and stick with it. If you are constantly changing that Z zero point, one day, it will bite you in the backside. Nothing like watching a &lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAtb7O_yk8c" target="_self"&gt;shell mill shear&lt;/A&gt; right off.....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks! Will definitely stick with setting it at the top of my fixture plate. That worked today.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
