Fusion 360- Carryover Stock From Previous Setups 

Improving the workflow of this would give Fusion 360 a major competitive advantage. Appreciate you making this very important video. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I tried several other tutorials on this, but they were too outdated and didn't work. This worked like a charm!

I've been doing this for a while and it's really useful when flipping a part over. I'm surprised and puzzled they still haven't made it much simpler, almost as if they are hiding it away. I'm sure they are not but isn't this something most professionals will need to do? Feels like a blind spot on the part of the product managers.

Pls continue doing these CAM videos. It's great help. Thanks.

I like the Op2 topic - More critical setup than from raw stock OP1. I have used the Stock model .stl method. I also do a cheat on standard stock for Op2 by making the Z bottom in setup a negative number = my model bottom depth form op 1 Then approximate Z + number on top - using the same over O/S on X/Y - that works for a quicky. I try to orient my Op 2 WCS to something on the model for precise alignment. Your cool part looks very interesting on how to workhold on Op2. Thks

Thank you for posting this!! Extremely helpful.

Thank you

Hi, I like it. I’ll give a try. Only diff would be locating the wcs on bottom surface. The first op machined surface. Eliminates any error due to stock mill dimension etc. Alistair

i see they have made it possible to do this for multiple setups now! finnaly! this was a great video though. thanks!

Great stock tutorial for fusion 360. Your videos are great!

Nice work @Mechvantage 👍👍💪💪

Very interesting tip. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the help. An excellent solution! Subd.

Thanks for the vid Kevin!!! I know we were doing this a couple of years ago and this seems to be a couple steps shorter than the last time I did it. Seems I had to save the stock in mm and also convert to a brep when importing. I tried to do the "continue machining" with the preview feature and found out about the multiple setups not working. It would be nice if given the option to select which previous setup you wanted to use. I have a setup for left part OP1 and then another for right part OP1. If I put the left part OP2 setup right below the OP1 setup, I can use the previous setup. I then need to put right part OP2 under right part OP1....which is where is shows up anyway. I just need to make sure that when I select setups to post, I make sure I get both OP1's. lol The biggest down side to the method you show is if changes are made to the first operation. It doesn't update the stl file. It has to be created and selected again. But.....outside of it being a bit inconvenient, it works awesome for second operations on parts!! :)

Great video!

Currently i run the hobbyist version, is the STL mesh saving not allowed on that version? Guessing so and hope to purchase a subscription in the next few weeks. Use it more for my cnc router in the garage. Love the videos and help, thanks man

Hi Kevin, do you have a vid on pulling details out of an assembly so it can be machined. Thanks in advance...

Thanks for sharing!

Very useful :-)

Can you do it for a lathe?

why can't i download the file? Please can you share it?

Kevin, does choosing mm when importing the mesh body work every time or is it random? Thanks

In your simulation, how do you make a contour follow on from a adaptive clearing?

Fusion's been working so hard trying to get op1 working correctly they have not had much time to focus on the second side.

what if you have multi parts in the first op then second op you just want one single part from proceeding setup?
