I have been working on a job over the last month or so, turning aluminum parts that were being black Type II anodize. The client now wants to do a run in Type III hard coat, naturally I needed to go in and make some changes to the thread depth to account for the additional thickness of the anodize. I load up fusion 360, pull up my program and offset the threads another .0015" deeper. Also, we were going to increase the length of the threaded part by .125" so I also needed to reduce the shank of the threading tool a bit and wanted to model the tool accurately to make sure we didnt have any crashes. We low and behold, Fusion360 will not allow me to use the same tool on the same op in the same file as before. Before modifying the internal threading tool in my library for the new reduced shank I duplicated the tool to cut down on time, but neither work.. stock turning examples in the fusion library that are changed to internal threading do not work either. So here I am stuck on this job with a deadline and Fusion360 will not allow me to do the work that was being done 2 weeks ago. I know it has to be another update that took place to "fix" issues" but it seems more always seem to get broken in the same "fix". Does anyone happen to have a workaround on this.
