Design to CNC cut

Is there an easy way to display all sides of this box in a plane to be cut by a CNC machine?

Other than copy and past each one at a time? 

Using drawing is not an option.

You might want to take a look at this post paying close attention to the mention of the Fusion Add-in DXFer near the end.

-if not already done, put each sketch n a seperate component.

-use "modify/arrange" to place all sketches on a single plane.

This is a great solution but the original poster has not mentioned the Fusion 360 License type being used.  The Arrange command is only available in an Educational or Subscription license.

I do not have the Add-In installed so I do not know how it works or any problems with it.  Please share your model so I can take a look at it.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

With all of the sketches (or bodies) in separate components, you can use planar joints to put them on the same plane. I usually create a new component called CAM, then copy/paste the sketch (or body) components into the CAM component. (Don't use Paste New.)  You can either adjust the offsets in the planar joints or add rigid joints to adjust the spacing.

 

p.s. See Rule #1
