Idea to add the ability to use Tangential leadin's and leadout's on a boring cycle. as shown in the screen shots when ever you add a Vertical leadin/leadout radius it is added at 90dges to the tool path, when machining a groove this can cause the tool to cut into stock material. the leadins/leadouts should follow the tool path and radius.   please add this feature.   Thanks Tony   Show More

Hi,  I was thinking the option to have a constantly engaged tool path for the face strategy would be good. Some materials and cutters don't like the start stop nature of facing, even with chip thinning.    Quote from Sandvik Knowledge "  Frequent entering and exiting the workpiece should be avoided if possible. It can create unfavorable stresses on the cutting edge, or cause dwell and chatter tendencies. It is recommended that you program a tool path that keeps the milling cutter in full contact, rather than performing several parallel passes. When changing direction, include a small radial tool path to keep the cutter moving and constantly engaged.

Right now, many operations have five feed rates: cutting, ramp, lead in, lead out, and plunge. If I'm manually entering my own feed rates, as I always do, this is five text entries to make. Why not have a checkbox or something to set them all the same, so I only have to enter the feed rate once, if I don't need or want different feed rates for each part of the path? Show More

I was asked to copy this here from a post I made on the FusionCAM forum...   I love the Setup Sheet capability in Fusion, but I also think it's lacking in several important ways.  The real value (at least to me) in the Setup Sheet is to document HOW to fabricate the parts, so I don't have to remember.  I make dozens of different parts, and I just can't remember how to do them all.   But, while I can get what I want from the Setup Sheet capability, it is REALLY cumbersome to do so as it currently works.   What I want is a separate Setup Sheet for EACH setup in a given job.  The "model view" should show the part oriented so it is clear where the origin is, and what the part orientation is, and, optionally, showing all the toolpaths for that setup.  This part requires manually selecting the Setup, and all operations in that setup, plus orienting the model so the origin is visible, the Z axis is pointing up, etc.   Then, it's necessary to create a new directory for EACH setup, because each one writes an HTML file having the name of the part, and there is no option to change that name.  Plus, each setup writes a number of PNG files to show the tools.   So, ideally, I end up with a directory structure like this:   Directory: PartName - .nc file goes here Subdirectory: Setup1 - Setup Sheet for Setup 1 Subdirectory: Setup2 - Setup Sheet for Setup 2 ... Subdirectory: SetupN - Setup Sheet for Setup N   The result is great, but it is a LOT of work to create.  I have to manually create the directory structure.  For each setup I have to select the setup and all operations under it, orient the model as required for that setup, invoke the SetupSheet function, navigate to the proper directory, and finally create the Setup Sheet.   It would be soooooooo nice if this whole process could be automated, so it can be done in, basically, a single click.  At a minimum, it would nice if the process could be scripted.  I have no problem creating a simple script to define each Setup Sheet.   One other thing, likely a Windows wierdness, rather than a Fusion thing, but really annoying nonetheless:  I write my nc files and Setup Sheets to a NAS.  In the Setup Sheet Directory selection dialog, I can only write to the NAS if it is mapped to a drive letter.  If I simply navigate to the NAS through it's corresponding network connection, that address is tossed, and the Setup Sheet gets written to the default directory under \Users\UserName\AppData...   Regards, Ray L.

Option to output different WCS with each Pattern instance.   Unless my multi part fixture is dead exact with the same spacing as my model I'll output a different work offset for each pattern instance.  Especially when probing each instance. Right now I have to create a different setup folder to override the WCS and duplicate the operation.  By doing this I have 2 or more separate operations that I have to update independently when I need them to be the same. Also if indexing the WCS for each Pattern instance was available I could take advantage of the Operation order options.   This option would ideally be placed under the Post Process tab with creating a Pattern.   I know this has been brought in the form in different situations but I didn't see in represented in the Ideas form.
