Spiral Toolpath

Is it possible to create a spiral toolpath in the bottom of a pocket, starting from center out to pocket edges. I currently use Mastercam and really want this to be a possibility as I plan to move to Fusion.

Side note, the spiral pattern is nothing more than a visual finish.

Thank you, that did answer my question but, I guess I should of mentioned that I am also finishing the side walls of the pocket at the same time. So the actual operation would be a pocket finishing with a spiral from inside to outside.
