How does XyzPilot compare to Fusion 360?

XyzPilot is faster and more reliable for 2D CNC geometry. Fusion 360 is more powerful for 3D parametric design. Different tools for different jobs.

XyzPilot Example

XyzPilot strength: Point/XLarge, Intof, L2, C1 → Always P5 = (100, 50) on any machine Fusion 360 risk: Same sketch, different constraint history → Different geometry results possible
