Is there not a way to select the entire "loop" or "chain" (connecting geometry on the same plane)? For instance when your selecting each edge of the letters, maybe a selection filter of some kind? I've only been using Fusion for a couple weeks, but have wanted to be able to do this quite a bit already. Thanks for your all your help that provide with your many videos. You do a very good job and it is much appreciated!
That is cool. After few hours of investigation, I feel like CAM boss :) Could you also create a video where you would explain where i can set some allowness. Not sure if there is such a term in english. The point is I want to understand what parameters are involved if I want to cut some body first tool and live just 0.02mm of material there. And then with another tool just go and cut the rest. In this current particular video, how to make allowness so that after parallel I can do and cut chamfer. So I want parallel operation to leave a little material there. Please create video for that. How to strategize ruff cats and then clean cuts.
Hi Sergey, Glad to hear you're using CAM for Fusion 360. Yes, the term you are referring too is 'Stock to Leave'. Which is found under the 'Passes' Tab.
That is useful tip, thank you. I am not actually use it. I do not even have CNC. I am only investigating. I was always wondering how all of this CNC stuff works. And process to create passes was mystic for me until I sow few of your videos. Anyway I am more than impresses with Fusion CAM. It is so intuitive, simple and advanced. I even think now about getting my hands on some CNC router.
I may have missed this in the video somehow, but wanted to note that to get the parallel step to recognizes the patches without adding them to the setup model you go to the Geometry tab, then down to model, and select the additional surfaces that should be included.
i wanted to by the fusion360 for lathe. two problems, first i cant get a post processor for my machine, the one is provided isn't configed. second, the company in unreachable and won't reply or quote. there is a special offer ending tomarrow which i can't take because im not sure i can work with it.
I can not for the life of me get this to work. When I try I get "Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch, please change the target sketch or geometry."

this helps alot!
i've been having somewhat of a hard time learning the CAM portion of things, project tool definitely helps ALOT to get things done :D
This is great. I have been creating de-featured models or doing other things to smooth out my surfacing ops.

+autodesk fusion 360 Dear Autodesk,, SELECT CHAIN FUNCTION NEEDED! Cool Thanks.

Great stuff.

saved my life lol, been struggling without this step for a few hours, Thanks!
Why when I right click in the sketch the move option does not come up, am I missing any preference set up or something? Help :) thanks
Werner Romero im having the same issue

Hi Frank - No problem, shoot me an email at curtis.chan@autodesk.com, and we can jump on a GoToMeeting this week.
Technical Evangelist sounds like a religious engineer. lol!
