Include Optimal Load as a tool library parameter

Include Optimal Load as a tool library parameter

At Autodesk's Pier 9 Workshop, we have a Fusion 360 tool library for all our CNC machines, which includes each tool's length, feeds and speeds, and much more. However, there's nowhere to specify Optimal Load, which is a critical parameter in commonly-used HSM toolpaths like Adaptive Clearing. The default setting of 40% of the tool diameter is WAY too aggressive even for the Haas VF2, so unless a user has specifically been told to change the default Optimal Load, they're going to end up breaking tools or even throwing parts. For this reason, it would be useful if Optimal Load were a setting that could be specified for each tool in a tool library, the same way spindle speed, cutting feedrate, and other parameters are specified.
