Bug: Fusion not seeing uploaded .cps files in A360

[Anonymous]

I have gotten custom .cps files made to work on an older ShopSaber and Roland milling machine, since Fusion doesn't have the profiles already in its program. I'm looking to be able to test to see if the .cps files are good, but I can't seem to be able to get Fusion to load the files.

Despite following the forum posts below, I seem to be having an issue in getting Fusion to realize I have .cps files in the cloud on A360, which I uploaded several days ago.

I have been following these forum posts, but they're rather old:

I’ve enabled Cloud Libraries.

I've uploaded the .cps files to A360.

But when I go to setup the Post Process, I don’t get access to my .cps files that are in A360.

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! It looks like you are using the CAMAssets folder in your A360 Drive - this can be confusing. You want to add the posts to the Assets folder in your Fusion Drive. While this can also be done in a web browser, I would recommend using the Fusion data panel to make the process more direct.

In the screencast below, we can see the Fusion logo in the top left hand corner, where an A360 logo is shown in your screenshot. There are actually separate "Assets" folders in both the A360 and Fusion Drive areas - you can access one or the other by clicking on either the Fusion or A360 logo, depending on which one you are in.

The instructions to install a cloud post are linked here - working through these in the Data Panel section should get the post added in Fusion.

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

AH! Ok. This makes much more sense! Thanks a lot!

However, after uploading my .cps files through the data panel in Fusion, I notice I only have access to 1 of my .cps files in the post processor. Shouldn't I have access to both? Or is the Post Processor drop down menu preselecting Posts that would work with my current Setup? If it does preselect, I'm not sure why it would not show the ShopSabre Post, as my test Setup only has 2D paths. (FYI: the ShopSabre is a large flatbed router, and the Roland is a multi axis milling machine)

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! The post process dialogue does not automatically select posts based on the CAM setup - you should be seeing both posts. I've found that sometimes I am required to restart Fusion for certain posts to show up, and sometimes I need to re-upload a new copy of the post to the Data Panel before it will come through. It is possible your post is just taking some time to show up - I would start by trying to re-upload it and restart Fusion.

Hopefully this helps! If you find that a certain post will not upload, please send it my way and I will have a look. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Yep. That did it.

Restart didn't help, but re-uploading the .cps file did.

Seems Fusion doesn't always appreciate uploading multiple files at once... in this case.

Thanks for all the quick and great help!
