    Fusion and RichAuto Controller

    Hi all
    I have an interesting problem when using Fusion with a RichAuto A11 controller. I have a cnc machine at my school with an A11 controller. Any code from VCarve responds correctly. Any GCode from Fusion responds incorrectly. Eg drilling 4 holes at the corners of a wooden stock piece just results in the machine travelling to the four locations and then finishing, no Z movement , no drilling. If I use the same code at home on my own CNC with an A18 RichAuto controller it works fine. Controller issue I think but it’s doing my head in!
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks
    Scott

    You have set up the correct post output in Fusion, yes?.

    Hi there
    Thanks for responding.
    Using grbl pp. occurred to me that the working vcarve file is referenced off top of stock. Fusion is referenced off bottom. Changed to stock top and it works fine. Something to do with z axis setup in the RichAuto controller. Annoying but I will find out what it is.
    Cheers
