Would there be a pathway to "import" the completed and CAM'd part instead of having to redraw everything (part & CAM paths) in F360 before we could submit it to y'all?

(Asking because HSMWorks is also an Autodesk product, and it would be cool if they actually did build a pathway into F360 from it)

The reason we are working with Fusion right now is mainly due to the resources required to write a plugin. Eventually it would be great to support other CAM packages but right now we just don't have the dev resources available to do so. Fusion supports importing Solidworks files but I don't believe it will retain any toolpaths from HSMWorks so it would just be doing the CAM in Fusion.

That being said, if you have a part you want to make and have the CAM done in HSMWorks, hit us up at support@anchorlabs.io and we can most likely work something out. Our automatic quoting wont work but we can just manually quote it.
