 +## Edit imported SVG files
 +
 +  * import SVG curve
 +  * You can't edit this: only drag around sections of the curve. 
 +  * Make a new sketch and project the SVG curve into it. 
 +  * right click on the projected curve and select 'break link'
 +  * Now you can edit the curve directly
 +==== Import curve from CSV file ====
 +
 +{{:3d_modeling:csv_curve.png?200|}}
 +
 +Assuming the CSV file is for a 2D curve:
 +
 +For ex:
 +<code>
 +0.36,22.16
 +0.54,22.24
 +0.72,22.32
 +0.89,22.40
 +</code>
 +
 +  * Open CSV file in a text editor (with Regular Expressions functionality)
 +  * add a third column of placeholder numbers to the file ('',0'' for example) to make the data 3D. This is what Fusion expects.
 +    * Search & replace pattern in BBEdit: 
 +      * Search: ''(^.*$)''
 +      * Replace: ''\1,0''
 +
 +After a replace-all: 
 +
 +<code>
 +0.36,22.16,0
 +0.54,22.24,0
 +0.72,22.32,0
 +0.89,22.40,0
 +</code>
 +
 +  * In Fusion 360, go to ''Utilities > Add-Ins''
 +  * Under the ''Scripts'' tab, Run ''ImportSplineCSV'' & open the changed CSV file.
 +  * Fusion will now generate a 2D sketch with the curve

 When using ''3D Adaptive'' to go down to a horizontal surface, tick the ''flat area detection'' box. Otherwise smaller mills in consecutive operations might need to remove material from the whole surface. When using ''3D Adaptive'' to go down to a horizontal surface, tick the ''flat area detection'' box.

 +== Bore ==
 +The ''pitch'' parameter in the ''bore'' feature should be set depending on the width of the bore. For example: 
 +  * hole diameter: ''6,5mm'', pitch: ''0,18mm''
 +  * hole diameter: ''3,5mm'', pitch: ''0,08mm''
 +
 +Small diameter bores need to feed down slower since they will be milled way too fast. //Also check if ramp speed controls the feed here//
