    Crikey, got so busy I forgot about this thread.
    Problem I'm having is trying to create toolpath files for my cnc mill.
    I don't want to learn much too much about Fusion because it's just way out there ridiculous to grasp what the hell it's doing, and I don't need it to draw my 3d projects but I do need it to create the toolpaths for my files from Autocad.

    I've watched quite a few youtube videos mostly from a guy called Lars Christensen but he raves on too much and keeps changing the subject so he misses important details.

    Do you think you can help me with this ?

    i personally use aspire to creat my tool paths.

    if you have designed something with autocad and have saved it as a dxf then
    its just a matter of importing it into aspire and then assigning your tool paths.

    aspire also allows for tool change settings during the process IE fine detail with say a 1mm round nose
    and then a cut with a 6mm flute. It allows for a stop and moves to a designated spot for the tool change and
    then pickups from where it needs to without the need for a new z-zero setting being done.


    This of course is if you have added the change spot into mach3 for tool change mid cut.
