Did you have a custom post processor and did you save it to the generic folder with all the other posts.

What do you mean by a blank bar? Can you give us a screen shot of what you’re seeing (or not seeing)?

I changed a post slightly, and yes I saved it in the generic folder. Is this a known issue? And can it be solved without reinstalling?

The generic post folder gets overwritten for every update with the newest version of the generic post processors. You're much better off saving it in your Cloud Posts so this doesn't happen.

@Anonymous a couple of things to try first. Close Fusion go to the folder with your customized post processor and move it to the custom posts folder, see below for path info. This should leave the generic folder empty, if it's empty try renaming it then restart Fusion. The next time you try to post hopefully Fusion will ask to search for the generic folder, you might need to pick personal post then back to generic to get Fusion to do the search. I've had this happen a couple of times after updates, can't quite remember the procedure.

 

If you're not happy trying this there should be an update in a few days if all goes to plan so you could just move your custom post to the personal pasts folder and wait for the update.

 

Mark.

 

Do not put custom posts in the generic posts folder. Use the personal folder. or another location.

Where is the folder with your customized post processor? C>program files

 

Have a similar problem here. Downloaded a new post for Tormach but for some reason lost all the rest of the post. Now I'm trying to cnc for a Shopbot and don't have it and trying to figure out if I need to download the shopbot post or what to do.

@jcsantilli, your customized post processors should be placed in %appdata%\Autodesk\Fusion 360 CAM\Posts on Windows.

 

The shopbot post should be available by default with Fusion however.

 

After clicking the Post-Process command, if you click Setup you will have several options about which posts to use. "Use Installed Posts" defaults to ones that are included when installing Fusion 360 - including 2 shopbot posts.

 

The Setup button is the way to switch between your various post locations.

 

Let me know if there are more questions.

I already have the answer. In the post window, in the setup I switched from Personal to Installed and all the post were there.

 

Thanks anyway
