How to remove all unnecessary heights and clearances in Fusion 360?

Hi, I am baffled by the quantity of heights and clearances in Fusion 360.

 

For example, for 2d contour I have:

Clearance height

Retract height

Feed height (true, this one can be disabled but you have to do it manually each time which is annoying)

Top height (ok this one is necessary but still it counts)

 

then you have under "Linking"

Safe distance

Lift height

and if you select "Ramp"

you have 

Ramp clearance height

 

Whats with all these heights and clearances? Why is it necessary? I don't see it as necessary, I see it as nuisance.

7 heights for just one thing?

 

This is what I need my G-code to look like:

G43 H2 Z5.

G01 Z0. F1000.

 

not like this:

G43 H2 Z15.5

G00 Z10.

G00 Z5.5

G00 Z2.

G1 Z0.

 

wtf?

 

 

Also, is there a way to create templates and defaults for tool links and compensation?

I need to have compensation always "In control" for mills (T2 and T3 mostly) and compensation "In computer" for T4 (chamfer mill).

I also always have to manually edit links to remove those stupid vertical and arc moves, I just need one thing active:

Linear lead in distance. Nothing else.

 

Thanks, any help is much appreciated.
