Where can i find the posts in Fusion (non AppStore Version)?

 

How can i save a Post into the "Personal Posts" or "My Cloud Posts".

Are my own Posts save if a new Fusion update comes?

 

Is there a full reference with all the constants, variables and functions out there?

 

And how can i get the WCS-Number whitin a Post.

Does the mac version have the Open config option. If it does you could open a post and check form the editor.

To save your posts to the cloud, from Dashboard select A360 then the CAMPosts folder and drag and drop your posts.

For WCS to work it needs to be in the post, what post are you using?

It seems i can't open a Post right into the "Post Process" dialog on mac.

 

I use the Mach3Mill Post for my CAM's and want that is map the WCS 1,2,3,4,5... to G54/55/56/57... 🙂

 

Thanks for your help...

You're right that the post process dialog on Mac doesn't provide direct access to the post processor file.

Part of the reason for this is the difficulties that would be encountered when trying to push changes to cloud posts back to the server, as that would be being done out of the control of Fusion.

 

This is a workflow that we'd like to improve, one way or another, in the future.

Ok, i dive into the Mach3Mill.cps Post and saw in the "onSection" function a code snippet that seems to control the Work-Offsets.

Here the Snippet:

  // wcs
  var workOffset = currentSection.workOffset;
  if (workOffset == 0) {
    warningOnce(localize("Work offset has not been specified. Using G54 as WCS."), WARNING_WORK_OFFSET);
    workOffset = 1;
  }
  if (workOffset > 0) {
    if (workOffset > 6) {
      var p = workOffset; // 1->... // G59 P1 is the same as G54 and so on
      if (p > 254) {
        error(localize("Work offset out of range."));
      } else {
        if (workOffset != currentWorkOffset) {
          writeBlock(gFormat.format(59), "P" + p); // G59 P
          currentWorkOffset = workOffset;
        }
      }
    } else {
      if (workOffset != currentWorkOffset) {
        writeBlock(gFormat.format(53 + workOffset)); // G54->G59
        currentWorkOffset = workOffset;
      }
    }
  }

Have you any idear why it won't work?

Ha, it works!!

 

The problem was that the WCS-Offset 0 was corrected to WCS 1 which is G54.

If i enter 1 into the WCS-Offset, it is 1 and is not corrected and write in G54.

 

I must enter 2 to get G55 and so on. Smiley Very Happy
