Finding material not machined on final setup

[Anonymous]

I have a part that we got the first operation complete than we flip 180 degrees and rotate 90 degrees to the second operation to clear the center section so we can place it in a fixture for the final operation. After it is placed in the fixture I cannot figure out how to find the unmachined material to do the tool paths.

Any help would be appreciated. File attached.

Hi @tezblount

Thanks for posting! One way to go about this may be to use the Stock from Solid option in Fusion 360, as it looks like you have in the attached file. Another way could be to use the "Save Stock as STL" options - when you create a new setup, save the stock from the previous setup as a mesh file, import it to the file, and then define it as the stock for the new setup. 

I've shown a brief example of this in the screencast below - I hope this will help!
