Joints and CAM
Accepted solution
On the setup dialog in the CAM workspace under Model just select one off the bodies. Make 3 setups one for each part, while working in each setup just hide the bodies you're not working on. Have you made each part a component, it's easier to work in Fusion if you use components for each part.

Do a 'save as' and save it as the part you want to mill. Then remove/delete the extrenous parts in your project (IE the things you don't want to mill). Save. Convert to CAM.
Don't do this keep all the parts in one file. If you start making external files any modification will become a nightmare.

If it's all in one file and you make changes you only have that one file to deal with, it easy to modify one part and forget to update all the other files. It's so easy to keep it all in one file I can't see why you'd want to split it up. I've used one file for moulds where I've machined the top cavity, bottom cavity all the electrodes and all the turned parts. All the parts stay where they are in the assembly so if anything is changed you can see the effect on the other parts.
I suppose if the toolpaths are huge you might want to split it up to keep the file size down but that's about the only reason I can see.
