new to Fusion and have been struggeling to create toolpaths for this trivet I'm trying to make.  Trivet will have v-grooves cut in it spaced evenly and running in the X and Y directions.  I plan to use a V router bit and my router will probably need 3-5 passes to cut it.  I have tried multiple milling configurations but cant seem to come up with a toolpath that will run the length of the part then step to the next pass.


Hi @jaw6667,

 

@Marco.Takx is right, you can select the bottom of the texture (Using ALT key) and then create a trace toolpath for it. Once you generate two toolpaths one for horizontal and one for vertical line, you can then liner pattern these toolpaths.

 

Once done you can then use a 2D countour toolpath to profile it around your model with the same tool.

Please have a look at the attached modified project.

 

I hope this helps.
