Support for drag engraving tool

[Anonymous]

I would like to see some minor modifications to allow me to use my spring loaded diamond drag engraver with Fusion 360. This is a really cool tool I like to use, but it is a pain.

It can be done at the moment, but i have to edit the post processor to allow a zero rotational cutter and also ignore warnings from the program about a zero speed tool. 

As I see it, the modifications are pretty simple:

1) Either add a new tool type that is a non rotating part and have fusion accept zero speed OR allow a check mark or flag on a tool that zero rotation is just fine. 

2) The post processors need to allow for a zero speed (this should be done anyway)

I agree Fusion should have a dedicated engraver tool type.  There are workarounds obviously, but all of them are flawed.  

• Modeling the tool as a chamfer tool causes an error on some toolpaths such as Parallel ("invalid tool type for milling")
• Modeling the tool as a Form Tool will only work on 2D paths.
• Modeling the tool as a tapered endmill doesn't quite work either, because it won't allow a 0 diameter tip, and entering a very small value causes other weird things to happen in regards to tolerance values when setting up the tool path.  It also doesn't allow you to model the tool geometry accurately so collision detection will not work properly.

Bump. An Additional tool feature would be compression length so you can accommodate for different internal springs.
