Altium CoDesigner is an interface for transferring printed circuit board designs between the ECAD and MCAD design domains. Once the CoDesigner add-in has been added to your MCAD software, CoDesigner can pass design changes back and forth. Design changes are passed through an Altium Workspace, which acts as a bridge between the ECAD and MCAD domains.

For internal machining. The 60° cutting angle provides medium cutting-edge strength that allows for both ID roughing and finishing applications.

Choose the insert style (shape and size) based on the features of the part and the desired depth of cut. A larger nose radius is stronger, but requires more machine power, and increases the tendency for vibration. A smaller nose radius increases the access to fine part features, but has a weaker cutting edge.

Developed for the maker community, Altium CircuitMaker makes schematic capture and PCB layout available to everyone. CircuitMaker can also connect to Autodesk Fusion 360 through Altium CoDesigner.

This insert has 3 cutting edges per side. The 80° cutting angle provides high cutting-edge strength for roughing, but the depth of cut is limited by the short cutting edge.

HUM – Universal Medium For medium-duty turning operations. Soft-cutting chip breaker. Used in applications producing varying chip sections, such as profile or copy turning. Good dimensional accuracy. For soft steel materials and stainless steels.

HFS – Finishing High-Temp For finishing applications. Ground periphery with positive cutting edge. Ideally suited for high-temp alloys. Micro-finished edge on the ground periphery adds just a slight hone for improved edge integrity and reliability.

To access the Altium CoDesigner panel in Autodesk Fusion® you must install an Add-In (Plugin), as detailed below. You can download the MCAD CoDesigner plugin from the Altium website download page.

HFP – Finishing Positive (Single-Sided) For finishing to medium turning operations, with optimal chip control over a wide range of cutting conditions and workpiece materials.

There are differences in how you work between Altium CircuitMaker and Fusion 360 compared to other supported ECAD tools and Fusion 360.

For external machining and facing. The large point angle is very rigid, and good for rough machining. This is the most commonly used insert.

HMS – Medium High-Temp For medium machining in high-temp materials. Utilizes a micro-finished edge preparation to increase edge toughness.

Note that after insertion into the device assembly, Autodesk Fusion retains the positions of the PCB components relative to the device assembly. In the situation where the PCB is moved in the device assembly in MCAD and then the components are moved in ECAD, it is recommended to remove the PCB from the device assembly and insert it again, in order to reset those relations and to keep the proper placement of the components in the context of the device assembly.

HUF – Ultra-Fine Finishing For finishing, with a positive cutting edge for reduced cutting forces and superior surface quality.

HMP – Medium Positive (Single-Sided) For medium to rough turning, with reduced cutting forces and improved chip control for high feedrates. Suitable for high metal removal rates.

The top/bottom Soldermask layers are not transferred to Autodesk Fusion. Instead, the board object has the color of the ECAD Top Soldermask layer applied.

Use the Advanced Geometry button on the Altium CoDesigner ribbon to quickly show or hide the top/bottom copper/silkscreen layers.

In Autodesk Fusion, the Altium CoDesigner panel can be enabled by clicking the Altium CoDesigner menu entry or button, as shown above.

The smaller point angle of this insert is more versatile for finishing and detail work, but it has less cutting-edge strength than other geometries.

HFF – Fine Finishing For finish turning, producing smooth, accurate surfaces. Very good chip control, especially at low depths of cut

Now that CoDesigner is installed in your MCAD software and connected to your Workspace, the next step is to configure the relevant Workspace settings.

HRH – Roughing Heavy For medium-duty to roughing. Outstanding chip control. High edge strength for interrupted cuts, forging skin, or scale. Preferred for all cast iron, such as gray, malleable, and nodular.

Choose the insert grade (coatings) based on the type of material being cut, the specific machining operation (finishing, medium, roughing), and the cutting conditions (smooth, lightly interrupted, heavily interrupted). The insert grade and the chip breaker complement each other to provide specific performance characteristics. A tougher grade can compensate for a cutting edge with less strength, while a more wear resistant grade can provide longer tool life on a stronger cutting edge.

HMR – Light to Medium Roughing For light to medium roughing of steels, difficult-to-machine high-alloy titanium, and aluminum materials. High strength to deal with heavy chip deformation.

HMU – Medium Universal A medium universal geometry with a soft cutting action due to its positive geometry. Has a versatile application range, and is suited for turning unstable components and for boring applications.

Once you have signed in, CoDesigner settings can be configured in the Altium CoDesigner Settings dialog, opened via the Settings menu entry in the CoDesigner menu (show image).

Finishing operations with light depths of cut and lower feedrates produce lower cutting forces, so cutting-edge strength is not as important. Medium turning operations, with a wide range of depths of cut and feedrate, require a more versatile geometry.

In Fusion 360, the surface copper and silkscreen (component overlay) are created as Sketch Profiles drawn on the Board object. To simplify the process of displaying/hiding the copper and silkscreen layers in Autodesk Fusion, the Fusion 360 Altium CoDesigner ribbon includes the Advanced Geometry ( ) button. Clicking the button will display the: top copper, top silkscreen (component overlay), bottom copper, and bottom silkscreen, sketch layers. Click a second time to hide those layers. These layers can also be selectively hidden/displayed in Autodesk Fusion's object Browser.

The 3.0 release of CoDesigner added support for Autodesk Fusion to work in the context of the Device Assembly. CoDesigner in Autodesk Fusion recognizes the PCB and the enclosure, supporting exchanging the enclosure between MCAD and ECAD. Learn more about Pushing the enclosure from MCAD to ECAD.

If a component's location fails to update correctly after a Pull from ECAD, right-click on it to check if it is grounded. If it is, select Unground From Parent (as shown below). The component will immediately move to the new location defined by the last Pull.

Select the enclosure in the model tree, then click the Enclosure button on the Altium CoDesigner button - check the panel to confirm it has been recognized.

Autodesk Fusion supports the concept of defining a rigid relationship between a component and its parent, known as Ground to Parent (Autodesk help info). When this feature is enabled, the location of the component remains fixed relative to its parent, overriding any component location changes caused by a Pull from ECAD.

There are many variables that go into choosing the correct insert for your turning operations: insert shape, geometry, grade, and more. The goal is to select an insert that meets your requirements for quality and performance, while providing good chip control, and a reasonable combination of wear resistance and toughness.

To disable this automatic grounding behavior, uncheck the First component grounded to parent option in the General – Design – Assemblies page of the Fusion Preferences dialog.

Choose the chip breaker (geometry) based on the selected machining operation: finishing, medium, or roughing. Roughing with high depths of cut and feedrates requires an insert with a stronger cutting edge.
