Does anybody have a post processor that will work with Fusion 360 for LinuxCNC's  GUI QTPlasmac
Thanks

Flatten your part (if sheet metal)
Create a new sketch on the flat surface
In the list of elements, right click on the sketch and download a DXF file
Open the part in your trusty copy of Sheetcam and finish off in it.

There is a post processor  for f360 on the forum somewhere but its hard to beat Sheetcam once you solve the DXF generation as I said above.

Thanks Rod That is what I have been doing and it works fine. Being the curious type I wanted to see if there was on that could be used in Fusion. It seems that there are others for different Post processors. The hang up is the different G-code commands the QTPlasmaC use for some of the actions. One being the probe command of G38

I'm using the one linked in this post successfully so far.  forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0

I haven't tested the center-punch functionality, but did test the small hole functionality on 3/8" holes and they turned out pretty well.

A couple things I learned along the way:
  make sure merge circles if unchecked when posting
  if you have multiple setups, you have to go to the operations tab in the post window and select them all.  They aren't all selected by default.
