I learned how to do it from this YouTube video.

Process

1. Create part in fusion 360
2. Switch from design to CAM
3. Setup:
   1. change operation type to cutting
   2. stop box at bottom left corner
   3.  
4. Click cutting operation
   1. Select tool
      1. Samples
      2. operation type: cutting
      3. Select .04 plasma
   2. cutting mode: auto
   3. feed rate 80 in/min
5. Geometry
   1. select object
6. Add Tabs if necessary

      1. lead in too big to fit into hole
