     * 0.20mm: able to slide easily
   * Print slower (±30mm/s) for better accuracy. In Cura there's an 'engineering' print profile (only available for Ultimaker S5) that tunes parameters for best dimensional accuracy.
+## 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>
+.36,22.16
+.54,22.24
+.72,22.32
+.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>
+.36,22.16,0
+.54,22.24,0
+.72,22.32,0
+.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
+==== Toolpaths ====
+== Tip Rest machining ==
+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.
+== 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//
+==== Troubleshooting ====
+=== Some sketch curves cannot be converted to profile edges ===
+//Weird work-around//

+The problem edges show up in red when the warning is selected.

+Zoom in on one of the edges.
+{{:3d_modeling:sketch_curves_-_display_control_frame_web.jpg?600|}}\\
+Right-click on the edge, and select ''Display control frame''

+A brown dotted line shows the control points. Select one of these points and delete it.
