It seems as though Fusion has abandoned any progress towards making its lathe CAM interface any where near usable given the fact that a simple face and profile turn program lands out at an avg 5kb. wouldnt it be wise to take a few snippets from featureCAM and HSMworks and adopt rough/finish canned cycle support for fanuc controlers? Additionally, this would benifit in minimizing prog length and give the operator the tools required to make edits at the control if needed. I noticed the tread cycle is absolutely antique. can we enter the modern age and use a G76? Pecking for part off tools could be supported with a canned G87 cycle and perhaps allowed a stop point for a parts catcher to engage then a re-entry and slow down for part catch then catcher retract. I currently write all this code in manually, but would like to say to others that I use the lathe portion of your product as well. the truth is, and many here would agree, that they simply think it is un-usable in its current state.
