Dissimilar parts CAM

Lets say that I have 2 parts, each of them as separate Fusion 360 files, each of them with already established tool paths.

 

Now how could I simply bring the 2 parts into a single CAM program while maintaining the already developed tool paths, ideally with different work offsets (G54 and G55 in this example) 

 

This is a simple case, in practice I might have multiple different parts.

 

Basically I am looking for a way to run a random number of already proven parts in one program so that i reduce tool changes, increase spindle run time, and maintain flexibility.  This way if I get an order for X pcs of widget A, Y pcs of widget B, and Z pcs of widget C I simply run 1 program from already proven tool paths.

Create a file with your parts copy or linked in. Right click your setups in your original files and [copy]. [Paste] into your combined file. Change your work offset number then Regenerate the toolpaths. Post out.

That will also likely require reselecting the geometry, fyi..
