When trying to open the resulting .ord file in FlowCut, it gives a "incorrect file format" and won't open.
I played around with the .ord file, and by editing the lineCounter and arcCounter values on the first line, I was able to get the Flow software to open it, but the path itself is not correct. It seems the arc center coordinates are on the wrong line.
I pathed a circle in Fusion, and this is the file I get from the Flow post:
// This file was created by FlowMaster(R), which is proprietary to Flow International Corporation. 11 4
// Created by Autodesk HSM
3.7895, 3.0000, 0, 0, 0
3.7895, 3.0105, 0, 60, 1

4.0000, 3.0000, 1, 60, 1, 3.0000, 3.0000

3.7895, 3.0000, 0, 60, 0
3.7895, 3.0000, 0, 0, 0
Trying to open it in the Flow software gives an "Incorrect file format" warning, and won't open it.
After I edit the first line to this:
// This file was created by FlowMaster(R), which is proprietary to Flow International Corporation. 7 4
It will open in Flow, but the path is incorrect:
If I move the arc center coordinates up a line, it generates the correct path:
// This file was created by FlowMaster(R), which is proprietary to Flow International Corporation. 7 4
// Created by Autodesk HSM

It seems like a simple fix , but I don't know post processors or JavaScript well enough to fix it myself.
Can anyone help?
