    GRBL post-processor for plasma

    Hi, I'm just getting my feet wet with Fusion 360 and GRBL as I build my CNC plasma table.
    I drew up a simple shape and did the CAM work in Fusion360. I picked the stock plasma cutter in Fusion360 and the simulation worked fine.
    When I went to post process the CAM into the GRBL laser cutter/plasma cutter post processor, I got an error saying "The CNC doesn't support the required tool/process. Only laser cutting is supported"
    I switched the tool to the laser cutter, re-checked everything and it posts just fine.
    I checked the Autodesk CAM updates and it's the most current version of the GRBL post processor.
    I'm a bit stumped about what's wrong.
    I hope that I can get a bit of guidance here...

    I solved the problem.
    There were setup conflicts.

    Re: GRBL post-processor for plasma

    Hi All

    Has anyone managed to get the GRBL post processor working in Inventor Cam. I am getting the same error as above "Error: The CNC does not support the required tool/process. Only laser cutting is supported." but in the Autodesk Library it states that the post processor does "Waterjet / Laser / Plasma". I have tried lots of different setting but cant get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks Justin
