Inventor Part with Associative Sketch Cut File
Part 3 of this series is my preferred method of generating cut files but it has its issues also. However, I believe it covers most of the issues for those working with wood and nested based CNC machining. It may even be more beneficial for some sheet metal companies as well. Nevertheless, the only reason I’m sharing this method publicly is because we now use a much better in house developed process which significantly cuts down on the time it takes to generate cut files and subsequently program them in our CAM software. I’m sorry I can’t share that one with you 
. Since there are more steps involved in this Tutorial the videos are more comprehensive and a bit longer, I can only hope the interest in the topic overrules my monotone narration. Hopefully I will get better at these voice overs.
Autodesk Labs has just released what might turn out to be a fantastic new method of developing site grading in AutoCAD Civil 3D. The Interactive Terrain Shaping tools.
The Shaft Generator tool has placement tools in the toolset for axial alignment, start reference, and rotational alignment. These are really great for many aspects of workflow.
