Using it this way it is just like any other CAD program. But really the main advantage of Fusion is that it is a concept to manufacturing system. It handles initial sketches and will also generate tool paths. The "tool path" part is why I brought it up here in this forum. When you get used to a parametric CAD system it is hard to give that feature up. For example I can place holes "two hole diameters" from the edge of a part, then later I have to change the length of the part, the holes move to accommodate the new edge locations. Parametric system are a response to the fact that designs during the design phase always evolve over time. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
