Fusion 360 post processor file for Plamac

For the mean time why not get a copy of SheetCAM and export your parts from Fusion as DXF or DSTV format?

I use everyday a very expensive 3d modeling software called Tekla Structures. when I create a part like a base plate or purlin cleat, I export the part in DSTV format and SheetCAM imports it with absolutely no issues.

Until you get your issues with the fusion post sorted it might be worth the small investment.

Does that thread still have the latest SheetCAM post processor files? It's a lot to wade through, I think I found the latest, but I'm not too sure...

I have a Sheetcam post here, I can post it in the morning if you like.

Sure, that would be appreciated.

Tim,

I started with the LinuxCNC post processor. Sorry that I did not save any intermediate changes I made. As I remember it, it was not too hard to get it converted over to work with plasmaC. I think you will be disappointed with the quality of the small hole cutting but I'll let you decide.

In all honesty, if I were you, I would not waste my time with Fusion360 CAM at this point but would go with Sheetcam (as thefabricator03 suggested). That's what I am probably going to do. I have had no other responses to the Fusion360 CAM issue and doubt Autodesk is going to be anxious to correct the problem as this is an edge case. If the issue with Fusion360 is corrected, I'll happily put my post-processor out for others to use.

I have not looked at the post processors for Sheetcam that have been posted lately so I am hoping Phil will go ahead and post the one he has.

Stefan is trialling it, if he reports that it went well I will put it in the PlasmaC section.

Thanks Steven, i will look into the sheetcam going on your advise. I was hoping to limit the amount of programs and steps needed to complete a task from start to finish. We use Gibbs cam to program our mill and lathes and fusion has been filling the gap with design and sheetmetal. If the Fusion cam worked out for the plasma it was just a bonus!! Thankyou again for your advise on this forum this far i hope you manage to get something to work efficiently for you, before you start the Job with 200 holes!!!!
