3D Contour

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I just cut my first parts on my set up last night.  Fusion has played a HUGE roll in me being able to start up my own shop!  I do have a question about cutting a 3D contour.  I was trying to create a tool path on a 3D sketch.  I want to create a tool path that follows the 3D sketch with the cutter centered on the contour (compensation off).  This is easy to do when I select 2D Contour but it takes the 3D sketch and projects it onto a 2D surface only.  I use a different software at my full time job and that has an option for me to choose a 3D Contour to do so.  I know that Fusion has a "Contour" option under the 3D tab but that seems to be more for surfacing.  

I hope this makes sense!

Try using Trace on the 2d menu.
