Hi Roland,
fusion360 lathe is very easy. It runs the operations in order so you must
be doing something incorrectly. You control the toolpaths mostly. Perfectly
optimal is not always possible with any software.
Mostly machining with a grooving tool? Good luck!
Of course you have to set stock

As an Autocad user for 25 years, I can say the issue of file formats not
being backward compatible is really not a significant problem. All Autocad
versions have the option of saving the file in an older .dwg or .dxf
format. There may be some minor problems with formatting of dimensions,

With CAM you need to develop a different mind set. You are now
programming with your drawing and CAM setup, not G-code. The G-code the
