Error: Failed to invoke 'onSection' in the post configuration. Error: Failed to execute configuration.

Regarding the error below, I've checked google and found a solution on this forum to check my WCS and that I'm using the most recent version of the post processor available through Fusion. I've uploaded a .f3d of the file and both of the post processors I tried (though I think they're the same).

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Here's the error:

The two CPS files are identical.

When post processing with one of them, I got this error:

or the more detailed log output:

############################################################################### Error: Error: Work offset out of range. Error at line: 1 Error in operation: 'Drill1' Stack dump: ("Work offset out of range.")@:0 onSection()@C:/Users/Lucian/Downloads/Centroid.cps:594 Failed while processing onSection() for record 364. ############################################################################### Error: Failed to invoke function 'onSection'. Error: Failed to invoke 'onSection' in the post configuration. Error: Failed to execute configuration. Stop time: Thursday, December 29, 2022 8:58:14 AM Post processing failed.

The work offset is indeed out or range. 55 means the 55th WCS while most machines probably support 6 (and eventually offer an extension mecanism for more). If you want to use G55 you should put offset 2, with offset 1 representing the G54...

So change that offset, create a NC Program for your setup and post process it. Done.

Thank you! When looking at the file this morning, my WCS was actually set to "extended", I have no idea how it got set to "extended"... But all works now that I have WCS set back to "standard". (I do actually want G55 - I'm not sure if it's best practice, but I've been using that as a dry run with Z set above the actual part so the machine just "cuts" the air. And then I switch to G54 with Z set to the correct height.)
