      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have never liked plunging endmills, and in&amp;nbsp;my old software it was easy to tell the machine to drill a hole first for the endmill to "plunge" into. I have no clue how to use the predrill feature that is in Fusion and was hoping someone could help. I played with it first, I made&amp;nbsp; a circle where I wanted the hole to occur and I could get it spotted and drilled but the predrill feature would not recognize it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Attached is my file, and you will see that there is a number of contour cuts made in the center and one around the outside that makes the gear. I want to predrill each plunge location first. Could someone school me up?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So I guess I spoke to soon, while it does let me define the entry point, it does not enter in the predrilled hole rather slightly offset, right onto the contour line. I have attached the file and would greatly appreciate any support you can give.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Easy fix, just change your Entry Positions to Predrill Positions and it'll work how you want it to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, you might want to add a lead-in/lead-out and a little overlap to minimize gouging at the entry/exit point.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&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-center" image-alt="Entry Position" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/438601i4F2254F432D8422D/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2017-12-13 at 7.35.10 AM.png" alt="Entry Position" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Entry Position&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&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-center" image-alt="Predrill Position w/ Lead-in/Lead-out &amp;amp; Finishing Overlap" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/438602iBA49CE01519CFE63/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2017-12-13 at 7.35.58 AM.png" alt="Predrill Position w/ Lead-in/Lead-out &amp;amp; Finishing Overlap" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Predrill Position w/ Lead-in/Lead-out &amp;amp; Finishing Overlap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you!!!!! one question though, when I went to apply that to my original model (in keeping with the I do I will learn and remember philosophy) it gives me a warning that it can't be done unless "keep tool down" is checked, and I see you checked it, but I worry about doing anything that I do not understand, is there anything you can explain about "keep tool down?" I don't understand it from the hover over explanation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4645902"&gt;@kmcgheeCMFPG&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;all "Keep Tool Down" does is limit the number of retracts made. It uses the "Maximum Stay Down" parameter to determine how long of a move the tool will stay down for instead of retracting to a safe plane and coming back down for the next pass. It'll only stay down if there's another pass to be made within the distance specified. Hope that clears it up a little.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
