Modify CAM toolpath

Does F360 allow the user to force a particular CAM behavior when machining a part?  For example, I want to make a circular rod with 3 diameter long slots in one end face, at 60 degree angles. Think of a large Philips head screw with 3 slots rather than 2.  The CAM for this (via F360) does a rather elaborate route through the stock, making several sharp turns at the center of the end face, rather than simply cutting a slot across the diameter, shifting the next cut 60 degrees and so on.

You just need to draw a sketch line and use that for your selection and then use a circular toolpath pattern in Manufacture, see attached file.

Hope it helps
