So i am trying to get Fusion 360 setup for other guys in the shop that have used mastercam and i need to set the defualts for a lot of the processes, like "bore", "drill", "2d contour". I dont like the default choices for retract and all that jazz. It makes it really hard to go to show them how a process is setup and then everything is different from what i was showing them. Its nice that i can export my tool library and i would like a option to do that same thing for the default settings.

Most of these options are saved in a file called NGlobalOptions.xml, in the directory %appdata%\Autodesk\Neutron Platform\Options\<autodeskUserId>.

 

Now, I have no clue if you can copy and paste that file into another computer, so let me know how it goes.

 

It's great that you are setting up your guys with this software. Truly powerful stuff for a lot of milling applications

Awesome thanks! I tried it out and it did keep all my operation defaults. No other default though, which I'm fine with.

What other default were you hoping for that it did not bring over?

Menu configuration would be nice. Fortunately, it's an easy enough chore to manually configure that one

Yea I was thinking all the buttons on the ribbon on top. But that's easy enough.

Toolbar customizations (including buttons on the ribbon) appear to be saved in the file "ToolbarCustomization.xml". On my Mac, that file is found in the same directory as the NGlobalOptions.xml file. Probably the same on Windows.
