Within Fusion’s ‘Manufacturer’ workspace:

  1. Open the CAM Assist panel (see the screenshot to the right)

Within the CAM Assist panel:

  2. Click ‘Generate Avoidance Geometry’

    • The Generate Avoidance Geometry add-on opens.

For step-by-step instructions, see the tutorial Using Generate Avoidance Geometry Add-on.

Once you have created the Avoidance geometry, you may:

  • Keep the part open and use CAM assist to compute a toolpath strategy.

  • Save the part and its Avoidance geometry then open it later and use CAM Assist to compute a toolpath strategy.
