Still picking holes manually for your drilling toolpaths? There's a better way. This tutorial for Fusion CAM users shows how Autodesk Assistant can automatically detect and organize holes on imported STEP models — so you can get to machining faster and skip the tedious face-picking entirely.

Using a simple natural language prompt, Autodesk Assistant analyzes your imported geometry and does the heavy lifting for your setup:

⚫️ Identifies holes by diameter across your entire model
⚫️ Groups matching faces into named selection sets automatically
⚫️ Prepares everything for drilling toolpaths — ready for CNC programming

No more hunting for matching hole faces one by one — Autodesk Assistant organizes them instantly, improving programming efficiency and eliminating a major source of manual error.
