Smart Keywords

Smart keywords can be used to assign one Fusion cutting data preset to multiple operations within CAM Assist.

For example, you could use the cutting data preset “Aluminum - Side milling” to assign it feeds and speeds to the Roughing, Wall finishing, Flat finishing, and Helical boring operations of a tool.

For more details, see Smart Keywords.
