After adding a machine to the Additive machines and creating a toolpath for the first time, I discovered all of my post processors had been deleted except for the one chosen for the Additive machine.
While I was able to download the post processor needed for Milling, this may not be the case for people with custom post processors.

I'm guessing you put the post in the generic post folder, this is the standard advice I give for custom post. Don't know why autodesk don't have a warning.
Do not put custom posts in the generic posts folder. Use the personal folder. or another location. Or enable cloud posts and upload to the cloud assets posts folder.

@jeff.pek It's hard to say. I've been using the same LinuxCNC post for years. I think it was a local copy. As I said, I didn't have too much trouble finding and getting a new post, however, I don't think the original should have been deleted or removed when creating a post for the Additive machine.

Was the post you used in the past for your mill a custom post or just one of the generic posts in the generic post folder created by Fusion?
The generic post folder is moved every time Fusion updates and it will only move the standard posts not any custom ones you've put in that directory. So after yesterday's update for example Fusion would have move all the generic posts and left behind just the one for your printer.

That's because you hadn't put any custom posts in the folder so you wouldn't know Fusion moved the directory every update. Because you put a file in the generic posts folder this time, Fusion's moved all the generic post to a new folder leaving just the printer post. Not sure if pressing F5 from the setup dropdown will get it to find the new directory. You will need to move the printer post processor to your personal posts folder or you'll get more problems. In the past I think if the Generic folder is empty Fusion will ask if you want to search for the new location.
