The programe is not responding when i generate in Fusion 360
When I try to generate in manufacturing the program is very slow and not responding. One 2dPocket operation takes like 10 minutes to generate.
Is it too many toolpaths? why is it so slow?

The more selections you have, the slower Fusion is going to run. My best advice to you in this regard is this;
Find features that are identical. Use Pattern > Duplication to group them up. That way, you only make one or two contour selections and let the Pattern > Duplication handle the cloning of the paths to the other appropriate areas.

that sounds like a nice feature, but patterning inside CAM, how does that work ? is it a feature, or a function inside a contour feature for example ? couldnt find it ![]()

Now i found the pattern feature, and assume you suggest to use the duplication pattern, which i did in the attached file - but it doesn't seem to adept to the different contour... maybe i do it wrong, but it seems to me that this only allows to duplicate the exact toolpath to some other place (which is of no use to us as all our parts are slightly different

If you have 50 pockets or contours of same configurations and equal space between them in either radial or linear direction. you program one and use pattern feature to apply that tool path to all the rest .
Repeat same process for any group of like features to minimize data complexity and volume in the file which speeds up processing.

Identical, that's what I missed looking at @internBPQXK file. I assumed they were identical, but it turns out there were some subtle differences.
In this case, they need to break the toolpath into smaller chunks. Fusion just falls on it's face when it has that many selections and calculations to run.

With the latest version of F360, I have noticed it's become very slow on generating tool paths after I edit an operation.
Patterning is not an option here, they are all different. We're talking about just 8 contours that very simple (just cutting out numbers).
