tool paths are invalid?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to learn fusion 360 without watching the tutorials as I have trouble hearing and they are painfully slow. They are also heavy on explaining common sense concepts for a person who has been around machining but seem to skip past the things that are knowledge. The video game aspect of is what I have trouble with. Speeds and feeds are not a problem for me.
It keeps saying my tool paths are invalid? Thanks.

Could you attach the model you have a problem with so we can take a look?

I have no idea how to put the NC file onto a note pad then to a dnc program to send to the machine. I'm running a mill with a Fanuc omd control so it only has a data cable as a means of tranfering programs.
I was told by people that fusion 360 is very easy. The whole time I'm using it I'm searching for the functions I would use in solid works. I'm not sure about the correct order of dimensioning things as there is no smart dimension. Getting things exactly where they need to be is a mystery for me also. My issues with solid works we're with the use of solid cam for tool paths. I never found a good post and was never able to use cutter comp which drove me insane.

If you have Windows all you need to do is go to the Start Menu and start typing 'Snipping Tool' and use that. It's build into Windows.

 

There is no included DNC for Fusion, you'll need to use another program.

 

Here is an image for the keyboard shortcuts:

And the link to that page: http://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-F0491540-0324-470A-B651-2238D0EFAC30

 

Unfortunately this is mostly the video era and much of the content created for new computing products is video only. For modeling questions I would suggest heading to the Design subforum here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/bd-p/124

 

That said, as @vid.kok brought up, it helps a lot to be able to see the project you're working on. If you have posted code, then the toolpath is not invalid, or needs to be recalculated due to perceived changes in the model (sometimes there are no changes, but editing a sketch and then backing out of it can trigger this behavior for instance).
