I'm another "design in SE, export .stp, import to F360 for CAM" user. The restrictions in the free F360 version were very frustrating, especially after moving to a CNC mill with a semi-automated tool change procedure (tool change is manual but uses tool-height sensor to automatically set tool height offset before continuing).

I use the F360 plug-in from here which replaces g1 pseudo-rapids with real g0 (misses a few but does a pretty good job) and also allows multi-tool gcode in one file with tool-change commands. I've been using it extensively for a few years and seems to do a good job. Makes up for the worst limitations of the free version's CAM (although still only 3-axis...)
