Hi
Using Fusion360, and nit sure if what I want to do is in Fusion, LinuxCNC, Both, or can't be done:
Serial Numbers
As I make parts, I want to engrave the Part Number (easy, put it in the CAD), but I'd also like to put a serial number on the part, starting with an arbitrary number (because say the last batch ended on SN 050, I'd like to engrave starting at SN: 051, and each part I make in the batch go up by one from there
Is there a way to do this in LinuxCNC?

Hi,
I think you could do it with NativeCAM, using subroutines for each character, build a macro that uses IF statements for each subprogram...maybe Fern can help you with this task.

To get a clearer idea looks at this macro:

This might get you close:
forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/20-g-code/27169...numbers-on-cylinders
It would need changing to use XY rather than AX coordinates, but that is a simple find/replace job, I think.
