    Adding Gcode in Fusion

    Hi guys,

    Is it possible to add Gcode in Fusion360 in a specific way though (not adding a pass though from the manual NC)!! I need to add a G4 P2. after every M5 that I have?

    I am using Fusion 360 for plasma operation and I need to give some time for the CNC machine to finish the cut, before the M5 (torch OFF) gets in action.

    I am use use Fusion for milling operations and I find it very good... but for plasma I think Fusion is a bit dry!.

    Can some one help me please.


    Thanks

    Re: Adding Gcode in Fusion

    You could always edit your G-code in Notepad to replace every M5 with a M5 G4 P2 (assuming that your machine doesn't require them to be on separate lines). But the better way would be to edit your postprocessor to do that automatically at the end of each machining cycle.

    Hey thanks... That s also a good idea to quickly make a find and replace...

    I have tried to look at the post processor but since I am no programmer, I got lost very quickly haha .

    I would literally need someone to do it for me... .

    Thanks though.

    My advice would be very similar to awerby's except that I use wordpad on a Windows computer or Mousepad on the Linux computer that controls my machine.

    Re: Adding Gcode in Fusion

    It can be done but probably needs you to put the question on the Fusion Community Forum under the "Manufacture" area.
    Meantime as I don`t know what Post Processor you are using I have slightly modified a Mach3 PP which now generates code as shown below, if this code format is of any use to you then let us know, it is fixed in the PP and I haven`t figured out how to get it to be able alter in the "user defined properties" like the P* after the M3 but for the moment this might do till you get a proper answer
    Sure you need it after the M5 and not before ???
