FYI... I have updated the post processor to resolve this issue. Refer to forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...sors?start=10#289146

John Saunders of "NYC CNC" on YouTube has some good videos on modifying the F360 post processor.

I installed the fusion360 post processor from here forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac-post-processors#159042 and I am unable to get it to produce valid gcode successfully. I am trying to cut out a simple 10" sign and this is the error message I get every time I try to load the gcode into qtplasmac. I also cannot see the part on the screen. Attached is my post process window, can someone please guide me on how to proceed correctly making gcode files with fusion360 thanks!

It means you’re calling a material number that doesn’t exist/is not set up in qtplasmac. Simply create a material with the appropriate settings on the parameters tab with the material number you’re referencing and all should be well.

I am now running into this error again with every new gcode file I make and I didn't change anything. All the Gcode files look exactly the same as the one that works coming out of fusion. Qtplasmac keeps adding M02 (end program) to the first line of my gcode files. please can anyone help, what number does the material number need to match in order to stop qtplasmac from doing this?

Check that all material numbers called in the G-code file do exist in the QtPlasmaC materials.
