I am hoping someone can help me. Once upon a time the "minimize tool change" option actually did something. Now, not matter what I do, I am unable to get an nc program that reorders anything. I have tried enabling the preview feature for NC Program, I have tried to post from the parent setup folder, by highlighting the setup(s) I want, from actions... same result.
All tools between setups are from the same library folder etc. Nothing gets re-ordered
Thanks,
MM

When you program, do you select the same tool from the Cloud or Local Library and then use that, or do you select it from the Document library?
So there's the thing. The correct flow for Minimize Toolchanges to work is this:
Program your first toolpath, select from the Local Library.
Program the second toolpath. If the TOOL is the same as what was in Toolpath 1, select the tool from the Current Document library, shown above in my last photo,
When you take a tool each time out of the Local or Cloud Library, it creates a new copy and new ID number. Fusion doesn't know that they are in fact the same tool, hence, why Minimize Toolchange doesn't work
