Need Help on CAM with this part

[cnctv]

Ok this should be easy or so I thought but I tried several different approaches and all give me a bad toolpath. So can someone here maybe point me into a solution. I am not sure if this is any of the issue, but this part is one I imported and this piece is part of an assembly. So I just turned off the other part and selected this as the body I am machining. I would think this would be all i needed to do but if that's wrong then please let me know.

Thanks always for the help!

Well, help us help you 🙂
Can you export and share your model? We have no idea what you tried or are trying to do

Yes no issues.

Very much Thanks.

So just so I can learn here, I imported that drawing from Grabcad. Why would there be so many bodies? Would that be the way the designer drew it or maybe if it was a Solidworks file Fusion did that?

I really appreciate the help I have other files that are probably like this one that have given me issues. So there would have been no way to do CAM with that way it was correct?

Chances are, it wasn't drawn in Solidworks. A SW file imports into Fusion with seldom any issue. Other, less refined CAD systems are not as effective.

You "can" continue the CAM without stitching it all together, but it's going to be more work than just starting off on the right foot. Fix the CAD, the CAM will come easier.
