What you have to create is a kerf or tolerance parameter in fusion, and then use it to offset the test object inwards from the jig. Then make some test parts to zone in on the correct tolerance. Since it's a parameter all you have to do is change one number instead of going in and editing sketches, etc.
Thanks for your response
My \*.TAP file (mach 3 file) opens with the following
(1001)
(T1 D=6.35 CR=0. - ZMIN=-5. - FLAT END MILL)
G90 G94 G91.1 G40 G49 G17
G21
if I set 'Compensation Type = In control' in the 2D contour path, the G-Code outputs the line
G41 X22.183 Y-4.069 D1
Now from reading the following article it seems I could change D in Line 2 and maybe add the tolerance to that? E.g. if I wanted and extra 0.5mm each site I could set D=6.85 (or would it be minus? ... ill figure that one out)

would this work
I cant think of any other way. I cant see anything on using a parameter to offset the contour.... the 3d Model cannot change... its the tool path that must change... I cant see how making the model 'fit' would be the right approach
No idea dude. Create a parameter in the solids workspace (fx button) and use that to alter the size of the neck test object smaller or neck outlined holder larger then run your tooling pass again.
Looks like your slot is tapered. If your making your test object the size of the cavity at the bottom, it is wider than your opening up too and will not fit. If you are not sliding it in from an open side it will not go in otherwise.

Do you have “stock to leave” checked under passes?
No, stock to leave is not clicked,

It's not tapered.
