Saving a Post to my hard drive

[Anonymous]

This might be an easy thing to do but it has me stumped. How do I save a cloud post to my computer. When I create a post it is often on my laptop or another computer. I then upload them to Fusion. But when I want to make a minor change to the post, I have not found a way to download the current post to my computer to make the change. I then have to source where I put them on my laptop and determine if it is the current version. There has to be a way I can simply download my current post in Fusion, make a minor teak and upload it back as a different version but I haven't seemed to find a way to do that.

Thanks

In upper left corner of Fusion window, click on squares to open projects, click on your name, go to browser, click on assets, click on CAMposts, hover mouse over your post to reveal download arrow, click on it, get your post from download folder, edit and upload back to cloud.

You use notepad++ or  Visual studio code with the post-processor plugin for fusion/hsm.

What you do is bring up the pre-post dialog then you click on Open config (with the post you want to edit selected)this opens the post in whatever editor you have set for the Gcode, then do your edits hit save in the editor then it saves back to where the post is in fusion, then in the setup tab hit refresh and that is it.

Daniel,

So you got my attention with your post but I am uncertain how to execute as you indicate. This is my current workflow for modifying a post:

1. Output my part file using the "Export NC Code to Visual Studio.CPS"

2. Assign the File in Visual Studio CNC Selector

3. Open my Post Version XXX from my hard drive in Visual Studio

4. Run F1 HSM Utility

5. Change post

6. Save to Hard Drive with Version XXX+1

7 Open Fusion

8. Go to assets and load Post

Rinse and repeat............

Sounds like you have a more direct route to take which would be great.

Thanks
