I am not really up to speed with Fusion 360, and I am very rusty with the whole CAD/CAM process. But now the mill is running again I want to get back uup to speed with it. As Fusion 360 is what several people are working with I thought I'd try to figure out a workflow starting from there. | I am not really up to speed with Fusion 360, and I am very rusty with the whole CAD/CAM process.

+ | Most of the problems I have had getting files ready for the mill usually seem to end up connected with some sort of scale issue. Fusion 360 does have an option to write a Mach3 cutting file. When I have tried this I get a file that has cut limits in Mach3 that are ridiculous (a 2" x 2" piece may show a cut boundary of 10,000"). Steve has figured out which lines in the G Code seem responsible for this, but I think hand-editing a G code file is a risky habit to get into. And there are lots of other ways to "get from here to there." | ||
