Fusion 360 lacks a true "master" tool library that tracks what tools are used across different parts! Let's say you want to update speeds & feeds for a tool across many parts - but which parts use that tool? Or, let's say you switch a thru-spindle-coolant tool to a non-TSC tool - but you NEED to update the CAM!

We "fixed" this with a Python script that parses through HTML setup sheets. While it's only a band-aid until Autodesk offers true 'linked libraries', it actually works well! Using the setup sheet data means running the script is fast - and doesn't require access to Fusion or the file.
