What it does
Machining Essentials adds a tab with Create and Inspect panels to Fusion's Manufacture workspace. It creates face selection sets from colors and generates sketches for recognized hole profiles in a new Fusion document. It analyzes holes and pockets, including intersections and nearby features, with results shown in a report table. The Inspect panel also provides access to Fusion commands for measuring, section analysis, radius analysis, and accessibility analysis.
