Postprocessor - radius values double! was created by JuFu
I created a cylinder in Fusion360 and inteded to lathe it.
My lathe is controlled by LinuxCNC. Therefore I created the NC-program by using the LinuxCNC-turning postprocessor (latest version downloaded from Fusion360 cloud).
When I check the postprocessor output, the X-values are twice as large compared to the radius in the design.
What did I wrong?
Is it a setup issue? Or postprocessor configuration issue?

Radius and diameter are not the same thing, radius is always half of diameter.
LinuxCNC uses radius, as far as i know so that should probably be set in CAM.
Basically, the CAM is outputting diameter while LinuxCNC expects radius.

The easiest way is then to set your lathe to diameter mode with G7 (preamble).

This is because Fusion360 postprocessor always output values in diameter mode. There's is a way to change this to radius mode but it is not easy since you have to edit the postprocessor itself for that. See below for a few discussions about this:When I check the postprocessor output, the X-values are twice as large compared to the radius in the design.
