3D Adaptive Clearing with Multiple Tools

Anonymous

I'm trying to mill out a pocket with multiple tools - starting with a 1/2" ball-nose, then a 1/4" ball-nose, then a 1/8" ball-nose.  In the "Select Tool" window, I can't figure out how to select a sequence of multiple tools.  I selected the largest tool, and got a good toolpath.  But when I create a new toolpath for the next smaller tool, Fusion doesn't know about the material which the first tool has already removed.  So it slowly hogs out the entire cavity, cutting lots of air.  Is there some way to make the smaller tools cut only the material that is left from the previous larger tool?

Rest Machining, from Previous Operations. It's in the geometry tab of that toolpath
