You might recall me talking about the “HSM summit” in a past tip<\/a>,\u00a0but in that video I only scratched the surface of what\u00a0was taught\u00a0during that week. Today, I wanted to revisit some other CAM lessons\u00a0in another two-part tip. First, we’ll cover a common edge selection issue (that I’ve experienced firsthand), before moving on to showing you some incredible power in the ‘Compare & Edit’ command.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To highlight these options, I’ll use one of the actual<\/em> files\u00a0we used that\u00a0week, which have since been added to the CAM samples for you to discover. By perusing these examples, you can see the\u00a0toolpaths and setups our CAM experts used to make the parts during the course to\u00a0demonstrate different lessons. While you’re in the samples folder,\u00a0make sure to also see the Basic Training Files, Design Examples, as well as a whole slew of Simulation Examples…including those important Verification Examples, which prove the accuracy of the solver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the QUICK TIP. In the first section, I’ll demonstrate Fusion 360’s proclivity to select sketch entities instead of edges, which can sometimes cause undesirable effects. For the second\u00a0part, I’ll introduce you to a tool everyone creating toolpaths NEEDS to know about. Anyway, watch the QUICK TIP below:<\/p>\n
