Tool Template grouping

Tool Template grouping

This is a post I made for the CAM forum and it was suggested to submitted this to the idea station, here is the post link.  tool template grouping  Someone commented that it is possible in HSM but not Fusion.

 

I have a question about grouping tools together as a tool template.  For instance I create a cycle with 3 different tools.  Spot, drill and tap then I save the template with all 3 tools.  Later in a different program I use "Create From Template" and import the same 3 tools to spot, drill and tap different holds.  This is a nice feature since speed and feeds come with the tools.  Here is my question.  How do or can I use these 3 tools grouped together and pick the holes only once and generate the tool path for all 3 tools?  Currently I am selecting the same set of holes each time for all 3 tools.  Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Looking for a faster way to use "Create From Template" feature.

Featurecam uses something similar and it is very useful especially you have a lot of parts with holes that need drill and tap, drill and ream

A Recent Fusion release combined hole & thread into one operation on CAD side.  I would like to see similar functionality as mentioned that Featurecam  can do spot/chamfer,drill,tap in one selection on CAM side.
