    Post for Fusion 360/PathPilot G54/G55/G56

    So, it looks like the post that Tormach has for F360/PP does not support multiple work offsets since it outputs G59 P54, G59 P55 and so on - which the controller coughs on when it loads (ver 1.9.11). Yes, I know I can manually go in and edit this but would rather adjust the post file to have it output whatever PP can support.

    Thanks,

    From Tormach Customer Support:

    PathPilot does not support P54. It only supports G54-G59.3

    Looks like I'll need to get with Autodesk about a post adjustment.

    I must have something set wrong since cannot get any post to work that are dated in 2017. I'm using one from 2016 that works fine. Will have to dig into this a little deeper.

    This is a little off topic but I was looking through the postprocessor text in the link and I noticed code for the Smart Cool nozzle that will change how it aims based on the type of machining operation. Has anyone seen those entries in their NC code?

    Yes, but you have to enable smartcool in the post processor config screen.

    If you havent figured it out yet and if it doesnt seem to be a problem with the post. When inputting the WCS Offset, you need to use Fusions numbering system
