Create a Form Mill tool
Note: Before you can create a form tool, create a sketch or import a cad drawing. They should represent the half of the form mill tool and are the basis for creating it.
On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Manage > Form Mill
.The Form Mill dialog opens.
Click Select next to Tool Profile and select a closed 2D profile of a sketch or imported CAD drawing.
Make sure that the sketch or drawing does not contain any broken lines, like construction lines.
Tip: If you are having trouble selecting the tool profile, make sure that it is closed. Trim or Extend the intersections to close the boundary.Specify the Tool Axis by selecting the line segment that represents the centerline of the tool.
The profile gets rotated around that line.
Note: You should see the red arrow pointing toward the bottom or Z- direction of the tool. If the red arrow is not pointing negative through the spindle axis, select the Flip Axis checkbox.
Select a Compensation Point to drive the tool along the contour defined by the Tool Profile.
Note: If you do not select a compensation point, Fusion automatically selects one.Click OK.
The created tool is saved to the active document in the Documents folder of the Tool Library.
Next, in the Tool Library, specify cutting parameters of the tool.
