From Fusion:

In Setup: Stock From Body

When choosing Mode: From Solid and selecting your Stock Body in a Fusion setup you can send that setup directly to Toolpath. Toolpath will also program within the setup orientations you provide.
Ensure stock is set to "From Preceding Setup" for subsequent setups.
