I am using fusion 360 as a post-processor for Plasmac, my question is how do I make a profile and holes in the same gcode file, I already made the holes separately but when making another profile it does not recognize the pierce height and only follows the path. Your help please

Do you think that this is a Fusion problem or a Plasmac problem?

I personally use sheetcam (it has a free version to let you test small files). There is a postprocessor in the windows version for plasmac. It can be copied to
In Fusion, flatten your part and create a new sketch on the surface of your flattened part. The right click on the sketch in the tree and save as DXF.

Thanks Rod, if the truth is that I did that since in fusion 360 I have many problems with radio and arc, but sorry I like Fusion much more since everything can be done in the same software, in fusion I had a problem with arcs and in shetcam it worked very well the bad thing is the 180 lines that limit its use.

Well I solved the problems presented by applying the following in Fusion 360: 1) I make a first profile cut and first select the circles that I want to cut using the actual nozzle size in my case 1.20 mm, I also configure with offset on the left in the computer. 2) I made another profile cut for exterior profiles, I use the same 1.20mm diameter tool and in the configuration part of the torch inlet and outlet in a straight way at 90 ° and I do not use arches since it gives me some radius problems , I also configure with right offset in computer.
