Hey Guys!

Mike Mattera did some great videos on all the new features in Fusion Ultimate (links available on the what's new post) and I wanted to follow up with some intermediate level tutorials for some of the more seasoned users.

WCS Probing:

 

 

4th Axis Wrapping:



I'll be keeping an eye out for questions about the new features, but I expect an influx of posts here, so if I miss a question please tag me and I'll work on getting out answers as quick as I can.

Thanks guys! Hope you enjoy the new features 🙂

Hi

 

would it be possible, or a link to a vidieos , for a walk though on how to use the 4 th axis e.g. I had a part to make for my corliss mill engine  model which in volved a slow helix around a 18mm shaft 90 degrees in 37 mm 3mm wide ,hope that makes sense this was a month or so ago in the end I hand coded it as G1 A90 X37 F25 note my mill is in metric mode by default

 

a short walk though would help as it would get users off on the right foot and not start with bad habits as I did with the CAD side of things

@xander.luciano What did I say, I knew it. LOL

 

@Stuart-H Hi Stuart can you post the model it would make it easier for someone to show you what to do, there are a couple of 4th axis videos on my channel that may help.
