Having a go with F360....

[Davek0974]

Ok, so I'm average on Vectric Aspire and SheetCam but want to learn basics in F360 - i like the assembly stuff and 360 aspect of design that the other apps lack.

Have watch a few videos but find the best way to learn is to pick something representative of a project either past or future and try designing it.

Here we go, not to any scale and only the first steps of the part.



I drew the stock, added two circles and then the slot on one.

Doing the cam and a simulation it wants to cut round the whole part - presumably because it is following the path through the slot.

Say i wanted to mill the holes out then do the outside then add the slot, what process should i be following?

Would the slot be a separate setup or separate file/code etc?

Apologies for basic questions but searching for this would probably take a long time ;)
