These libraries are only shown for open Fusion designs Cloud Library: A tool library tied to my Fusion account, so no matter where I sign in, I have access to those tools. Sample Library: Tools meant to be used as samples while trying Fusion. Sample libraries and tools are not able to be edited or removed Vendor Library: Tools organized by vendor, tools from supported vendors can simply be selected rather than created from scratch. Local Library: Manually created libraries stored locally on the hard drive, so anyone who logs into Fusion using that computer can also access them
Check boxes indicate that a
library is enabled and will appear when selecting tools.

7. Create a new milling tool
8. Select the type of tool to create
Note: Custom or form tools
are not currently supported
9. Enter some information
about that tool like the material, the tool units, and the number of flutes
Note: The number of flutes
will be used in calculating the feed per tooth, so ensure accuracy Optional: Enter vendor information about the tool
10. Enter diameter
dimensions. Fusion 360 will update the model as dimensions are entered, and highlight the section if applicable 11. Enter length dimensions. Note that all lengths are measured from the tip of the tool. Fusion 360 highlights the relevant portion of the model
12. Move on to the Shaft
