thanks! I hope my questions are not to dumb!
I’ll watch it a couple more times to understand it a bit better.
I have used fusion but completely lacking the basics!
@TinWhisperer I have a couple questions.
at about :25 you opened the file that you had already worked on and saved before.
you then say to save it. why did you have to save it again?
at about :45 you make another sketch. why did you need to do that?
why cant you use the one you have and make the DXF, F3D…?
I was doing it from the perspective that I would be downloading it from the previous videos project files. Then saving it so it’d be part of your accessible cloud documents.
I did already have it saved from video 2 and I could have opened it instead.
If I used the sketch from sketch one (our original sketch) make the *.DXF it would not have had the radius corners(fillet tool) that we made after we turned it into a body (extruded the sketch) . It also would have projected all the construction lines as sketch lines in the *.DXF.
As a good exercise could you save sketch one as a *.DXF, inserted it and capture an image of the DXF of sketch one and post it below. It will be a good visual for the description above. And great practice
The *.F3D contains all the data of a fusion file.
Sketch one, sketch 2, the bodies, all the manufacturing data, all the history , all the changes you made to that file. that’s why it’s such a great media to share.
@TinWhisperer Thanks so much for the answers to my questions. although
I’m lost on where to find the “sketch one” to practice! I do not see it up above.
@TinWhisperer These are great videos, thanks for taking the time to make them.
When i get to the cut path i chose the cut path but it did not cut the 4 holes, so i went back and let fusion chose the cut path still did not cut the 4 holes. I included the f3d file. I have no idea why this happened. I watched the video a few times but can not figure it out.
I also have a question and included a pic about this browser when i get to this point and have made some mistakes, edits and what ever else i did, what does all this now mean. And do i need to delete the setups that have the mistakes since i’m not going to use that one? I hope this makes sense?
no hurry and in your spare time, thanks Exit sign- TW v2.f3d (145.2 KB)
This is likely going to be that Fusion believes there’s not enough room to fit the lead in,lead in radius, lead out radius, lead out and the kerf width within that cut.
Reduce the value on some or all of these and it will add them in as soon as there is enough room.
When I get back to my office I’ll check out your f3d file on my computer and make sure that’s what’s going on.
As far as those failed NC files and setups in the browser goes: you can right click and delete them or you could right click and edit them , either would work.
Just make sure you click the correct setup before going into producing g code.

Wow I’m never going to get this!
