Tool Orientation => Select Coordinate System

Hi, when you have work at different angles, you can choose the tool orientation within the operation.  Now, if it's a big job, and you have 50 operations per face on the part, selecting the Z and the X (or other combination) can become really really annoying.  Fortunately, there is an option "Select coordinate system", as shown on the picture below.  This sounds great, because you create the CSYS once, and then all you need to do in the operations is choose it, it would save a lot of time!!  However...  unless I am missing it, there is no way to create a CSYS in Fusion!!!  I don't understand why there is an option to select a CSYS if we can't even create one.  I must be missing something important here...  can someone help me with this?

 

If I am correct, and we cannot create a CSYS, would someone have a way to make selecting the tool orientation real fast?

 

Thank you!

You can also stick all your toolpaths in a folder and override the WCS that way.

Yes, this is what I'm doing now, but I want to use G68. 2 dynamic offsets, and for that I believe that I need to use the tool orientation method.
