Can I upload a third party post processor to Fusion?

j9lemmon — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 15:53:25 GMT

I use OpenBuilds software to run my CNC Machine. It has worked very well for over a year.

Now I'd like to use the OpenBuilds post processor. I tried to upload their .cps file using the instructions they gave me, but I got stuck at this point.

Their instructions said to open Assets, then select the CAMPost folder and then click the Upload Button.

At this point the instructions said to upload the .cps file to this location:

Assets > CAMPost

But the Upload screen only showed Assets and when I clicked Change Location, I saw no way to navigate to Assets.

Any advice?

Thanks

First make sure you've enabled cloud libraries in preferences.

Then in Fusion's data panel navigate to Assets>CAMPosts and upload the cps file

Thanks @HughesTooling

And this link helped:

One key step was to double-click on CAMPosts in Assets, then upload the .cps file.
