Plasma Cut Paths Will Not Generate

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 22:38:27 GMT

Each time I try to build a cutting path for these two parts, the program will not generate a path form. I am fairly new, and I have had a great deal of success with Fusion 360, but a little help would be greatly appreciated. Where am I going astray here?

This design probably came from a imported SVG file. I have found that a lot of the small profiles have to have the path reversed to have them succeed. The longer profiles often will create a toolpath with the first direction. I do not know the cause of this. So I suggest you take it is small sections using multiple process steps in order to get a finished toolpath. By the way, it does not seem to matter if you use the sketched model or the extruded one although it is much easier to create a proper setup on the extruded one.

I found a few problems with the latest release and plasma.

I had the same issue when I tried to regenerate an older file and eventually found that the problem was fixed if I opted for "roll round corners" in the passes tab. I have just tried with yours and it generated for me once I chose that option, took a while because of the complexity but it generated in the end.
