Folders for CAM Templates

Folders for CAM Templates

It would be nice to see the ability to make folders in the CAM templates.  I love and prefer Autodesk softwares as i use Inventor and Fusion 360 constantly.  At my main job we use Gibbscam and as  much as I dislike 95% of it they have a strength when it comes to using saved processes.  If the Dev Team could integrate being able to add folders to make programming faster and more repeatable as well as organized it would be another strong point in the already amazing software.  See Examples below:

 

English Taps > 1/4-20, 5/16-18, . . . . 

Metric Taps > M10x1.5, M12x1.75, . . . . 

English Counterbores > 1/2 SHCS, 5/8 SHCS

       

                      Ø.250 EM > (rough end mill with stock to leave, Finish end mill) 

Pocketing > Ø.500 EM > "                                                                                       "

                      Ø.750 EM > "                                                                                        "

 

If there were folders you could just expand them with your mouse when you select "Create From Template"

And a better way to edit templates !

At the moment i think only way ist to open a template, edit it, and save it with same name.

And deleting a template ? Don´t know...

x2 I have lots of templates spanning my Tormach, Torchmate Plasma Cutter, Vynl Cutter, etc. So need to be able to better organize them. Please make this work!!!!!

I downloaded all of my CAMtemplates, renamed them so they would be alphanumerically sorted in a more logical way, then uploaded them. I thought this might help, but in the end they are not listed in the drop down alphabetically, they are randomly arranged.. I'm not sure what determines this order.. This is messy

I expected this to be already possible 😞 Fusion 360 does not allow creation of folders under Assets / CAM Templates but you can create folders via browser. Unfortunately after I move templates to one such folder they disappeared from the "Create from template" menu.

yeah that's true. same with creating any folders in any of the assets
(posts, templates, tool libraries). I don't advise trying to make work
around the system, but I believe they are working on a way to manage cam
templates we should see soon. small negative mark (at the moment) for such
a great software
