Can anyone explain how to spot pierce a project? I want to mark the center of a hole within the project to drill out? Do I not exclude in fusion and build a cut path onto a sketch?

I think Burgs explains it real well here…
For me, the best way to get a “pilot” hole is as follows. In fusion, I make the pilot holes I want cut a diameter of 1/4" or .250". I create a tool path for those holes with tool only for those holes. The tool has a kerf of .249". When creating the path I set it to no lead in, no lead out and no pierce clearance. When the machine cuts the hole it is effectively a hole with .001 diameter plus the actual diameter of your plasma, so something between .050" and .065". The kerf size of the tool …
See if that works for you and let us know how it goes!!
