If You're New To Fusion CAM, you might want to take a look at these new tutorials from the Learning Experience (LX) team.
Introduction To 2D Machining (Milling).
http://fusion360.autodesk.com/learning/learning.html?guid=GUID-FEFD4AFD-C53D-4411-85C0-62053B2FD105
This is a process based lesson plan that takes you from the beginning to the end of programming a complete part. While you can jump to a specific lesson for quick information, it's advised that you go thru the entire series, from beginning to end.
Each step/page of the lesson process is fully documented and includes video instruction.
Also, looking for feedback. Tell me what you think of these types of lessons.
This is looking great @mike.mattera.
@Cayenne9 WOW DUDE!! Chill. If you don't like it that much, don't use it. If you're in a state that legalized cannabis maybe pop off and smoke a joint. I mean everyone can get wound up about stuff every now & then, I have my fair share of ranty posts on here, but you're losing the plot over documentation for a product that updates every 6 weeks. The CAM documentation and features are pretty static though, as in, once implemented, they don't change. So your whole argument in the context of this thread is mute anyway.
The way you're carrying on makes me wonder if you work for a competitor to Fusion 360 to be honest.

Sounds interesting but nothing is loading.
All I see is a blank page trying to load something.

Hi @VisualConduct - unfortunately we're having issues this morning with our Learning site. The team is working on getting it back up and running as soon as possible.
@VisualConduct the old version of help is still working you might find what you're after here.

No developer has to use this built-in help system, but if they don't they should provide a shortcut/avenue to INSTRUCTIONS that explain how to properly use the current iteration of a given function/command.
I've been using Windows OS for over 20 years and never knew what the F1 key does. That's because Microsoft doesn't publish a user's guide, or owner's manual, or any other useful documentation. Users are expected to find out about this stuff from peers or forums. Autodesk is doing a better job than most at instructing users, even if they don't incorporate the F1 key. Thanks for the tip, I never learned this from Bill Gates!
Doing some live tooling and my flats have a bow in them, I'm using a 1/2 in. e-mill at 90 deg.
Any suggestions.
Thank you this really helped because CAM in Fusion had me confused for so long
Hi,
Long time programmer, new to Fusion.
Why do I not see ANY tutorials for 3D machining, or am I simply not seeing them?
Thanks,

Have you tried clicking the i at the bottom of the dialogs? It works in the CAD and the CAM

I really didn't need the tutorial, but when trying to cut a simple radial
surface with a 45° tangential surface, I got less than desirable results
when trying to extend past surface edges, no matter what I tried. Spent
about an hour changing every possible option I could find. You have no
flowline toolpath so parrellel is what I used.
@Anonymous
There isn't really any way to extend 3d toolpaths past the edge of the surface. What you have to do is switch to the patch workspace and create a bigger surface. If you're lucky this can be quite easy, use offset from the create menu and set the offset to zero to make a copy then use extend on the edges. In your op where you want to extend the toolpath, select the geometry tab, enable Model the select the surface and make sure Include Setup Model is enabled. Now the op will use the body selected in the setup and your new surface.
