Guys, I'm haveing a problem with getting Component Pattern to come up in CAM's patterning of the toolpath. I have an assembly of components and have one component with associated toolpaths. I have sample of what I have uploaded, this is really racking my brain.

I think it might be because of the way you made the pattern.  You patterned the original body and then converted the bodies to components.  I think you need to first convert the original body to a component and then pattern that component.

 

With the way you did it, Fusion treats each component as individual and unique, not as identical copies of one component.

 

 

You should be able to work with what you have now though by using a duplication pattern instead.  With a duplication pattern you pick a point on the source object, and then that same point on all the objects you want to pattern.  This way it doesn't matter if the objects are components or bodies (or even just points in a sketch).  Just make sure you select the same reference point for each patterned object.
