I'm brand new to CAM software so forgive me if this is something obvious I'm missing. I couldn't find a tutorial or other guide that solves the issue.
I'm trying to do my first setup on a part and I can't seem to get the 1/16th end mill to cut the thin 2mm slot in the video. It does however try to re-cut everything the 1/4 end mill previously cut even though I selected Rest Machining. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for any advice.

It's likely a lead-in/out move. Could you share the file? File > Export > Save to local folder. Return to thread and attach the .f3d file in your reply
Rather than making .mp4 videos and having use download them, I suggest using the Autodesk Screencast plug-in. Seamless integration into Fusion! https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast

Hi Nate,
when you turn on rest machining, make sure you select from previous operation in the drop down.

Thanks, you'll see in the video that I did in fact select that option. I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong here because this doesn't seem like a very complicated part I'm trying to make.

Yes, "from previous operation" was selected.

I think I figured it out. The top height was set to the stock material and not the top of the model. I then set the bottom for the next operation to the flat area that the two tabs protrude from. I also had to set the tolerance from .1mm to .001mm
