Toolpath Offset

[jburickJUFQ4]

Hi there!  Super quick question...I just started using CAM in Fusion 360 and I'm looking for where I can change the offset of a toolpath.  In my other software I could select inside, outside, or on the line, or adjust it numerically.  For my current job, I would rather not resize the body itself, but simply adjust where the bit is cutting on the toolpath (I would like to have it cut a shade closer to the toolpath line.)  I know I can click on the arrow to switch between and inside and outside path, but I'm having trouble finding any other parameters that I can adjust.  Thank you in advance!

Hi @jburickJUFQ4,

On the Passes tab, you can change the COmpensation Type to Computer/In Control/Wear/Inv. Wear and some operations OFF (this means on the line with the center of the Cutter).

If you want to make an offset that makes the part a little smaller you can use the Stock to Leave and make give it a negative Radial stock to leave.
