in my case, i have a pattern of holes in a grid pattern being used for a spoil board in a cnc router. i am machining holes in both sides. i have a stepped hole which i will install threaded inserts into. i found the fastest tool path strategy for my machine and material is 3d adaptive. the catch is that i need to set boundaries to the hole edge for the hole pattern i want to use, and not the exposed hole edges from the holes originating on the other side of the board.
a selection set would allow me to pre-define the features associated with each side's hole pattern, for selecting during the tool path definition. another option to simplify this would be making the feature timeline at the bottom of the model window available in the cam window as well, for selection purposes.
at 144 holes, comprised of a counterbore with two steps in each... that would be a tremendously laborious clicking process. i'm sure there's additional ways to program the selection process to allow more options and even smarter selections.
i really do like some of the forward thinking options in fusion 360. i come from solidworks, and i think there are still some things solidworks does better. the drawing implementation in fusion 360 is horrid atm.
