Very good and concise explanation of multi-offset setups in Fusion! You can save yourself some time in hand editing those G53 G0 Z0 lines by selecting the "Clearance Height" option under Post Properties-> Safe retracts and home positioning -> Safe Retracts -> "Clearance Height" (at least in the default Haas NGC post from the fusion library). Choosing "Clearance Height" will make the machine retract to whatever you had the clearance height set to in the operation before going to the next offset/operation. This *can* still bite you if your z-heights between offsets are very different.
I only have the free hobby version of fusion360 and it only gives you federate for certain moves instead of G0 rapids, it’s to make you buy the paid version. Can be painful to watch the machine going slow lol. Nice videos, would be cool to see more actual machining. I’ve also noticed recently that in the post processor screen it did have an option for “ programmable coolant “ where now after an update it doesn’t have that any more ( at least on the hobby version), have you noticed this? It would have gave 2 x M08 codes where now it only gives the one, so if I don’t manually add it in, sometimes my programmable nozzle doesn’t adjust ( I have a 1995 vf0 and the p coolant may be a tiny bit temperamental if it doesn’t have the 2 x M08 ) All the best and great videos

Look at that! I've been using Fusion so long I missed that update : ) Thanks for the tip! It use to only give G28 or G53 as an option.
Thank you for your time doing this video, very easy to understand
Great video, Thanks!
Awesome Video Jeff.
Had this exact issue a few weeks ago. The “rapid” on my Tormach 1100 takes forever between wcs’s.
Thanks for watching, and your comment. The post processor might also have a toggle between G0 and High Feed. It defaults to high feed rate.
