Anybody using fusion 360 CAM with a Joe's 2006 and Mach 3?
I searched and could not find it. Using a fanuc generic. But all kinds of things are happening like large arcs that don't show in the fusion preview. And it basically cuts everything away without leaving the model I'm wanting as an end result. Hoping someone has a post for this specific machine.

Hi,
I use Fusion 360 extensively to generate code for my Mach4 machine, and Mach4 Gcode is almost indentical in every way to Mach3 Gcode.
Machs native arc mode is 'Incremental' whereas the default arc mode of Fusion 360's Artsoft post is 'Absolute'. When posting the code in Fusion scan down the panel
of options until you find ArcMode and change it.
I change the ArcMode and the G28 GotoWorkZero only and thereafter Fusion produces good code for my machine.

Thanks Craig!
I will try this when I get home. Sounds like this may be the issue. Crossing my fingers. :)

Admittedly, I haven't tried it yet. I work 5a - 6 or 7pm most days. Hopefully off at noon tomorrow. Fingers crossed????
Thanks Craig.
