Hi @pllawrence0106

Thanks for posting! It looks like you are having some problems post processing CAM operations to Fusion 360 using a Mach3 post processor.

I noticed in the title of your post you mentioned the Mach 3 turn post, are you attempting to post milling or turning operations? The Mach3Mill generic post (mach3mill.cps - Generic Mach3Mill) post will only post milling operations - if you need to post turning operations you will need to use the Mach3 Turning post linked here.

You can install the turning post to either your personal or cloud post libraries using the links below:

I wonder if you are not seeing the posts you expect to be because you are looking at a different library (generic, personal, or cloud posts). The library can be selected in the Post Process dialogue box under the "Post Configuration" field.

If you are posting milling operations, do they post correctly with the newest version of the Mach3 Milling post?

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions - I am happy to have a look at the Fusion program that is failing to post if you would like to share it with me.
