That is the most I've seen you write in forever. 

I think I sprained both fingers.

Soooo what is getting me is I'm trying to extrude Draft Angles but I keep having to go back to the original sketch.

Ill put it this way .I have a 2-1/2" shaft by 9"long and I have milled a 45 degree axially by 1.5 deep ,I want to also Mill a 60 degree draft on that same center at each side .

So assuming I have to draft that 60 degree in extrude. I tried Parting line and got half of an angle through the whole part.

Any suggestions on youtube or other areas for training interactive or other?

TIA

Quick edit!!!

He had 2 choices..
Move to AD or hit the bricks.
I would imagine the pay and benefits working at AD were much improved
over the pay and benefits at a struggling startup like HMS Works.

I almost bought a seat of HMSWorks for Solidworks.
Glad I didn't as AD totally hosed the HMS for SW people in the end.

Something discovered today with 5-Axis paths and Fusion360 using bull endmills and cutting cylinders  with the bottom of the tool... no matter what you do neither through tolerance and point spacing the points it creates are too close together and cause problems at the control.

Thankfully I have CAMplete and was able to solve the problem. Autodesk is aware of the problem and they'll probably sort it out in pretty short order.

[CNCAppsJames]

TBF, they do seem to be very fast at sorting issues.
I feel dirty now defending AD....

I would imagine this would be fixed in either the next cycle or the following one. They seemnto putting a lot of focus on 5-Axis toolpaths.
