Tap type

[m_lamarca]

Is there a way in the tool library to set up different style taps, such as modified bottoming or plug or taper, so that the tool always knows to go a certain number of leads into the part, to get full thread? 

For example, using an M10x1.5 mod bott tap, to get 10mm minimum full thread, the tool has to go 14.5mm deep. With a plug tap, that’s 17.5mm deep.

no, sorry. I've asked for this before - it could be the same as Drill tip length. 

Best you can do now is enter that offset value in the tool description or comment field.

Man, that sucks. I wish they would steal that module (and many others) out of FeatureCam, and implement it in Fusion360. I understand they are trying to hit a price point, but it’s painful.
