Just downloaded new Tormach Post processor and now when I post a simple operation with 4th axis wrap - the file is empty!
When I post with the Newest Tormach post I get this:
Previous post with exactly the same tool path just different post would give this:
Where is the post from @Anonymous from fusion or from here http://cam.autodesk.com/posts/ This one I don't know if it has been fixed there is a problem with it doing 4th axis work.
The Generic post from fusion works fine on windows.
That one is out of date try the Generic post in fusion just make sure you set the rotary table axis in the pre post dialog

There were also some g1 moves with feedrate of F0.
Were you trying to do a chamfer or engraving with a tool defined as a Spot Drill?
Yer they had not fixed it then worked this out last weekend.
Try this one it works It's set up for 4th on the left side of the machine.
It has G94 and G93 in it, there controller needs a G01 plus free rate on every line there is a G94, A feed was added to all the G95 lines to keep it happy. It looks like they did not fix it the one on the post page is wrong as well.
The one I posted was to get someone going last week. It's bit disappointing.

Yes it was a contour w/ a spot drill w/ chamfer settings to 0 i believe.
This is because there is no lead-in or lead-out feedrate defined in the tool and you'll have to redefine the tool as a Chamfer Mill to work correctly. While I don't agree with that, it is what it is for now.
Well, the bigger issue is that the 4th axis is inverted - in other words it is milling concave vs convex.
Yep That's the A axis going backwards to what you need.
Grab the A+ post from here this should flip it back over https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/computer-aided-machining-cam/cylindrical-engraving/td-p/6800056
What side off the machine do you have the A axis set Left or right, If it's on the left pointing to the right that A- post should off worked
well. Yes my A axis is on the left of the table as pictured below.
Interesting is that the tool path still looks inverted in the PathPilot window - but in fusion the tool path looks correct
@Anonymous can you post the file Brian
there was a mistake in your file. you had the origin at the top of the part in the setup, It should be dead center like how you had it in the toolpaths you confused fusion.
Just changing that it looks better in a back plot. File attached for references.
And I hope it is working.
For wrapping in fusion not haveing the setup origin and toolpath origin at dead center makes things go nanananna or have them at different places.
It's always the simple things with fusion that can make stuff go Nanananan
