Can someone provide a *sample* part w/ production machining setup?

I've been working for several months now, off and on, trying to get some form of workflow to WORK in Fusion for running some production parts. Autodesk tells me that billion dollar companies use Fusion every day to manufacture thousands of parts, but I cannot get anyone to explain or show me how. Every time I talk to someone, or post here on the forum I get a multitude of partial responses and lots of work arounds. 

 

A previous discussion of a similar issue can be found here, no solution was found here on the forum or by my time through a few hours and phone calls with Autodesk:

This is what I am asking for. I need a sample, that functions correctly, so that I can understand how I am supposed to setup a production job using Fusion. With a rectangular part I would like to see 4 setups, 4 parts in each setup. In the first setup I have 4 stock pieces modeled, as well as the 4 components. I brought in a derived part, and then copied and pasted, and jointed to each position. In the second setup, they are flipped in Z to remove the remaining stock. In the third setup they are laid on their side. In the final setup they are flipped to the opposite side. 

 

I am genuinely hoping that someone has something they can provide for two reasons. 

 

First I want to closely examine what I may be doing wrong. It is 100% possible that I have something wrong, or am not following one of Fusions esoteric, un-intuitive, "rules" that you don't know and wouldn't guess until it is a problem. 

 

Second, if it is not something I am doing wrong, I want to closely compare the correctly working part file to see if I can figure out WHY my parts are not working, and have a good basis to try and help make an Autodesk employee understand that there IS A PROBLEM. Hopefully.
