Apply same design and manufacturing steps to different imported SVG files

[30032044]

Hi - I have 5 complicated SVG files that I need to cut out on a CNC. 

I'd like to find a way to do all the same steps (scale, extrusion, machine paths, etc.) that I did to the first image to the others. I'm hoping someone here has a good approach to easily apply the same steps to a different imported SVG file. 

I believe this is an extension of this question: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/replace-inserted-svg-in-the-beginning...


My workflow*: 

• In Illustrator:
  • I simplified the sketches, and offset the outline, then exported as SVGs (with 4 decimal places to make them more precise). Even with simplification in Illustrator the sketches have 3-7K points and lines. 
• In Fusion360:
  • In DESIGN: I imported the first image, scaled it, rotated it and set it on a box to represent my stock, extruded the pockets, then I extruded the outline to cut around the silhouette. 
  • In MANUFACTURE I set up the machine, the material, and 4 machine paths. For the pockets, I set up a 1/2" end mill to clear larger pockets, a 1/4" end mill, then a tapered end mill to get into the small corners. Then I cut a 2d contour with a 1/4"bit. I see there is a way to store each of these tool paths as a template, so that could speed up this section.

I'm attaching: F360 file of 1st head, SVG of 2nd head, screenshot of all 5 heads. 

*Note: there was lots of trial and error to get to this process, but this is the simplified version. 🙂

THANK YOU!

Answering my own question, I found out right clicking on a tool path and choosing  "Store as Template" is helpful for this. You can then go to Manage Template Library, and drop in the machining operation you saved as a template to another project. Also grouping tools by folders is helpful.
