    <description>Thanks Mark. That gets me closer. I'm not dogging your solution but I could do that in SheetCAM. I wanted to use a 1/4" ball mill to cut my 5/16" groove though. I thought that was within the power of these fancy 3D CAM tools. :^)</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Guys,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I could use some CAM help. I have a project where I am cutting a 1/16" wide slot down the length of a 5/16" aluminum rod. I designed a fixture with a half round groove on top and a matching clamp block. I want to use a 1/4" ball mill to cut the groove. I tried every CAM option I could to mill the half round groove but Fusion wwouldn't let me select the face of the groove to mill.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The second issue I had was cutting the slot in the rod. I'm using a 2.75" x .063" slitting saw. The slot&amp;nbsp;doesn't run the entire length of the rod, only about 80% so I&amp;nbsp;designed it with a 2.75" radius at the ends so the saw could ramp into the slot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can any of you get this to work?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Chris&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;sounds like you just want to use a 2D contour for this. insted of selecting faces try selecting edges.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Chris,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Go back to your model and add a workplane tangent to the bottom of the groove, or use an offset workplane. &amp;nbsp;Draw a line on that workplane to act as a path you want a tool to follow. &amp;nbsp;Return to Cam and use the Trace toolpath (I couldn't get this to worlk with Engraving so use Trace). &amp;nbsp;Select the line you drew when in the the Geometry tab. &amp;nbsp;In the Passes Tab, checkbox Axial Offset Passes to control your depth of cut/# of passes. &amp;nbsp;See the attached images and I hope it helps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It usually is whithin the power of the fancy CAD/CAM tools but it can be frustrating at times. &amp;nbsp;But I hear ya!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had trouble doing this on your part so I drew a new model and extruded a circle to make the cut you're looking for. &amp;nbsp;It worked on my model so maybe look back at your modeling methods so see if something is affecting that surface you want to machine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See the attached image (of my remodel) with a Parallel toolpath found under the 3D dropdown menu. &amp;nbsp;My model has a sketch that acts as a bounding box for containing the tool. &amp;nbsp;Your stepover amounts may need to be made smaller because the .250" ball mill takes up a lot of room in your grove diameter of .312. &amp;nbsp;Again, I hope it helps ya.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Interesting. So maybe the fact that I cut more than 1/2 of the circle away caused Fusion to not recognise the feature. I'll try that tonight&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;First thing to EVER do in CAM: add your Model to the Setup.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/212515i6FFEC07C889D4BD7/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="Model Setup.JPG" title="Model Setup.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Next, you have to define the part of your part that you wish to machine. I've attached your part with a new setup. I modified your original 2D Contour to be a little nicer on the tool, added a contour to cut the ends, and a Parallel toolpath to cut your slot. There are a good number of parameters to play with but this will work. You'll have to figure out what the best stepover/stepdowns are, and the correct feeds and speeds for the material and your machine obviously.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think that was the problem. I selected the model then selected a 3d parallel path and it seems to be working now. I've only been doing 2D ops&amp;nbsp;on single body models so far so maybe that was why I hadn't run into this problem before.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Chris,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I remodel your bottom jaw and I didn't have to select the model in the setup section. &amp;nbsp;I still got the parallel toolpath to work. &amp;nbsp;Edit: But since your model is a quazi assembly, I think Cam doesn't know which body you want to machine so you have to select the model in the setup section.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I attached my model if you care to look it over but it's just one model and missing the top clamp. &amp;nbsp;Therefore, I didn't need to select in the setup section.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You have to extent the bounding box for containing the tool. &amp;nbsp;I just made it arbitray hoping he would catch onto the &amp;nbsp;idea of using a containment. &amp;nbsp;Also adjust the bottom height plane to keep it from making that dive after leaving the part. &amp;nbsp;I didn't even mess with feeds and speeds, just trying to get a path to generate.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I really like your toolpath, I would only hog out with a striaght pass before running that program. &amp;nbsp;Just to lighten the load on the mill.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How did you select the containment boundary without drawing a bounding box? &amp;nbsp;When I select the surface it works but not as good as your containment.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Essentially you just select the boundary of the feature as you would for a 2D Contour operation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's the link:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/adfa6b46-0950-40db-ae1e-e73239d349f0" target="_blank"&gt;https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/adfa6b46-0950-40db-ae1e-e73239d349f0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hopefully it's done processing by the time someone reads this&amp;nbsp;&lt;img id="smileywink" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.png" alt="Smiley Wink" title="Smiley Wink" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the screencast and I saw how you selected to boundary conditions. &amp;nbsp;That cleared up a few things for me and it worked. &amp;nbsp;But I also tried the checkbox under model and selected the surface to machine. &amp;nbsp;That worked as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One additional way is to use the Avoid/Touch surfaces and checkbox the Touch surfaces at the bottom, then select the surface to be machined. &amp;nbsp;So it looks like there are 3 good ways to contain the tool and I'll no longer draw a bounding box. &amp;nbsp;That was just coming from an older CAD/CAM technique and being applied here. &amp;nbsp;Time to throw away those old tricks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again for your help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I will simply add that the default consideration in Fusion 360's CAM is that you select the model in the setup. This applies (3D) toolpaths in a model-aware fashion. I will say that until my current job (and we don't use Fusion) I was also used to the old way: mostly 2D paths programmed in whatever CAM package I had, previous jobs including Mastercam X6 and GibbsCAM 2012+ for which models were used sparsely if at all.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;This is not that CAM. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@C387DD3F79D38545E682333768222916/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;OK Adam,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I selected the model and used Mark's idea of drawing a line to do the roughing pass and then a rectangle as a boundary to contain the operation. Then&amp;nbsp;I watched your screen cast and figured out that you are using the &amp;lt;Alt&amp;gt; key to select individual edges to create the chain that you want to machine. I hadn't seen that trick before. I guess I really need to go back and watch all of the training videos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have the 3d operation on the 1/2 round working now. Now I need to see if I can get the slot cut on the rod. I may just sketch the path I want the tool to follow.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks to both of you for your help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Chris&lt;/P&gt;</description>
