Hi @sebastien.vandewynckel ,

Please check whether you have latest version of Extension (Autodesk Fusion 360 Post Processor Utility) and correct CNC file extension.

And Also check with Post Executable location,

C:\User\username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\(id)\Applications\CAM360

Thanks,

HI @sebastien.vandewynckel ,

Press Ctr+Atr+G and wait for a second. If you press quickly and multiple times then it may thorugh an error.

After above solution, still, you are facing an issue then Could you please share the post processor (*.cps)file which you are using?

Hello @sebastien.vandewynckel 

We have created a NUM turning post. It's actually in beta state.

https://cam.autodesk.com/posts?p=num_turning

So, you can test it but use it with caution.
Check the output and run with reduced rapid feed for testing.
Don't hesitate to provide feedback for improving the post.

Hi !

I try your pp num  but i can't used it .

I have this message.

The post configuration requires revision 45702 or later of the post processor which has revision 41920

thanks for jour reponse,

Hello @sebastien.vandewynckel 

This simply means that your Fusion installation is outdated.

The post engine installed by the march release of Fusion is 45745.

So the post is not using the absolute latest version.

But your installation had probably not been updated for a long time, so you have a version that is too old to be able to use the post.

This can be solved by updating the software, or are you using another software?

HSMWork, or InventorCAM?

Regards.

[sebastien.vandewynckel]

I work with HSM .

Thanks

[sebastien.vandewynckel]

Ive update my inventor HSM with INV_HSM_2019_ML_6_4_1_16922_Win_64Bit_dlm.sfx.exe

but it doesn't work yet.

thanks

Hello @sebastien.vandewynckel 

InventorCAM 2021 is using 45729. So i think that the 2019 is "too old" .

Our problem is that InventorCAM post engine may only be updated once or twice a year.

Whereas the Fusion post engine can change every two months.

It would be possible to revert to the previous properties definition. But it require some work.
