Stock on facing

[magicniner]

Nick, in Fusion360, you can create a model, then use 2D toolpaths on that model by picking chains.

Once you've got the model there's little point, I was pointing out that simple outlines at Z zero would allow him to easily do what he was asking, unfortunately he wants the software modified to work with his ideas of how it should be! :D

Industry standard is you set Z zero on the surface and work downwards, but in Fusion you can set part Z zero wherever you want and adjust heights accordingly. .

Clarity is everything, Part Surface or Stock Surface?

In all decent modern CAM/CAM they can set Part Zero where they like, but unless they have good reason then by busking it before they can walk the inexperienced can end up on their butt by trying to run ;-)

Rules and conventions are there for those who don't know enough to do their own thing. Those who do know enough to do their own thing don't have to ask how to do it :D

EDIT - The OP hadn't even read the guide on the parameters and options on the paths he wanted to use? RTFM!
