Move tool to a XYZ loaction

[mwisniewjunk]

I received a request from one of our machinists wanting to use a .5in pin in the spindle to position the stock. As the part is being machined and then having to be rotated in the vices the pickup point moves. So, he wants to load a tool that has a pin in it and position it where the pickup point will be.  How can I tell Fusion 360 to go to a pickup point or center point off of the part and stop there so stock can be loaded or rotated until operator continues the operation?

You have to do a pass through manual nc operation. You'll have to type in exactly what you want to be posted out and then you'll need to add a stop and a force tool change manual NC after the pass through so it will restart your spindle and reestablish your offsets. 

You'll need to enable it in your post. Think that most post processors don't enable pass through by default. 

add this to the on section of you post.

function onPassThrough(text) {

  var commands = String(text).split(",");

  for (text in commands) {

    writeBlock(commands[text]);

  }

}
