Generate setup, generate toolpaths, simulate toolpaths, and post GCode with one of the post processors from Fusion 360’s extensive library. It’s just that easy (sorta), but what’s next?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the GCode file is post processed, it is important to view the file to examine what will happen in the machine. Brackets is the viewer used for Fusion 360\u00a0when a GCode file is posted. By default, all of the text is black in brackets. This makes it difficult to understand what are comments, GCodes, and MCodes\u00a0without examining the file in close detail. As every machinist knows, every second is time they can be running this job on the machine.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some machine shops purchase a different post editor.\u00a0In Fusion 360, the default editor can be changed to automatically launch that editor when the “post process” command\u00a0is used inside Fusion 360.<\/p>\n
