    Engraving with tools that are not in the library

    Hi All,
    I've got some very fine bit that can be apparently used for engraving but I cannot find a tool library for it anywhere online. I've attached a photo for reference.

    Can someone please explain how I can use these tools to engrave on wood?


    Thank you!

    Re: Engraving with tools that are not in the library

    The tool library gives you the option to create your own tools. You can specify the geometry pretty easily or save and modify an existing tool that's close to what you want.

    For example, here is a single point engraver that I use which is very similar to the tools you are showing. "Chamfer" doesn't really look like the correct tool to start with, but it does work for these. I've heard that the Fusion team is still working on tools so hopefully this gets added. Hope this helps.
